The brief was to 'Design a device to aid stroke rehabilitation'. 

The design aimed to address the shortcomings of the current landscape of stroke rehabilitation, which lacks effectiveness and fails to address the diverse needs of those affected. Most personal stroke recovery devices, cater to regaining physical strength and mobility, with little offered for with cognitive damage. 

 

After extensive user analysis and customer research, the resulting device enables patients to bring their recovery wherever they desire, motivating them to continue improving by meeting milestones and setting difficulty levels. 

The 'Brain Box' recognises that stroke recovery is a personal, prioritising versatility, adaptability, and independence which stroke survivors are often stripped of.

The handheld device offers 3 main stimulating activities, which can be played holding the deivce (Cube) or laid flat (Cube net), if the user has limited use of their hands. 

The paired secure App includes features such as milestone setting and high scores offering patients, sustained engagement with their recovery. Through tracking improvements the device aims to empower stroke survivors, accelerate their recovery, and recover their quality of life, as soon as possible.
