If you or a loved one has recently suffered a heart attack, participating in a cardiac rehabilitation program can optimize your recovery and improve longevity.

But despite extensive medical literature showing that cardiac rehabilitation programs both save and improve lives, only a dismal 10-20% of patients opt to participate.

The main factors that keep patients from participating in these potentially life-saving programs are anxiety over the exercise regimen, and because it may be difficult getting to the rehab facility.

Wouldn't it be nice if patients could participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program in the comfort of their own home, under the guidance and supervision of a health care team, with their own personalized exercise prescription, and without the cost and hassle of traveling to a major cardiac rehab center.

This vision is not just a dream; this vision is now a reality.

We present Esoma, a pioneering gaming interface that allows patients to particpiate in a cardiac rehab program at home.

Esoma makes cardiac rehab fun and engaging by transforming monotonous exercises into exciting games and adventures. Participants can, for example, virtually explore the world or play games with their friends and families.

Esoma incorporates wireless physiological monitoring that makes the rehab experience safe and hassle-free, thus empowering patients to take control of their own health and well-being, and enabling them to achieve their life goals.

By allowing patients to participate in a rehab program in the comfort of their own homes, Esoma gives patients the guidance and confidence they need to adhere to their regimen and reduce their risk of another heart attack.
