Summary:In this paper, we put forward a novel framework based on mobile augmented reality (AR) to enhance the post stroke patients participation in the rehabilitation process. The exercises performed in the rehabilitation centers are monotonous and thus requires maximum effort and time from both the patients and the occupational therapists. We propose to combine these tedious activities with the interactive mobile augmented reality technologies. We call this framework Cogni-Care. In this paper, we introduce the underlying architecture of the system that eases the work of the stakeholders involved in the process of stroke recovery. We also present two exercises to improve the fine motor skills, AR-Ball exercise and AR-Maze exercise, as examples and perform the initial usability study.
