Boxly: Design and Architecture of a Smart Physical Therapy Clinic for People Having Mobility Disability Using Metaverse, AI, and IoT Technologies in Saudi Arabia

People with mobility limitations and impairments frequently receive repetitive remedial physiotherapy sessions to reduce functional deficits in the afflicted area. Even though therapy processes can enhance functional results and reduce the likelihood of long-term disability, patients frequently fail to fully participate in physical therapies due to procedural pain. In recent years, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence have played a pivotal role in health care, particularly in the treatment of patients with physical limitations. Furthermore, leveraging the metaverse and the Internet of Things (IoT) provides value to therapies such as physical therapy by improving the environment while saving effort and time. In this paper, we propose a new system for physical therapy clinics in Saudi Arabia. It applies modern technologies such as metaverse, AI, and IoT to overcome the barriers that therapists and patients face during treatment, like inaccurate measurements, long periods of rehabilitation, and ongoing pain and feelings of fear.
