"Physiotherapy at home" considers a possible alternative to physiotherapy treatments at a healthcare facility. Travelling to a healthcare facility can be expensive, time-consuming and create unnecessary exposure to other patients, among other factors. Our proposal is to use consumer technology to allow patients to receive some forms of physiotherapy treatment through the web. Team Albatross created a system where healthcare professionals create exercises targeting specific parts of the body and monitor patients performing these exercises in real-time. We created this working prototype in 24-hours. Team Albatross is George Goh and Liu Xiaohui.

9. Value proposition
‣ Benefits for healthcare providers - relieves
staff and facilities from some (though not
all) load to focus on more critical or higher-
value functions.
‣ Benefits for patients - privacy, convenience,
safety, and cost savings.

10. Business Model
‣ Supply software, portal access, optionally
hardware to patients and healthcare
providers
‣ Patients use for free, healthcare providers
pay monthly/annual subscription based on:
‣ Number of patients
‣ Technical support
