Systems and methods for providing a Digital Health Platform ('DHP') game for execution on a computing device. The methods comprise: running code on the computing device to facilitate lower extremity tracking in a low light condition and the provision of the DHP game having a virtual environment in which a person is to interact with at least one virtual object; using the code to obtain tracked data defining tracked movements of at least the person's lower extremities as the person plays the DHP game in the low light condition; increasing an accuracy of at least position data contained in the tracked data by performing coarse filtering operations and fine filtering operations using the position data; and recreating the person's lower extremity movement in the virtual environment using the position data which has been coarse and fine filtered.

Motion detecting balance, coordination, mobility and fitness rehabilitation and wellness therapeutic virtual environment

A mechatronic exercise system, e.g., for rehabilitation, having instrumented handle and pedal systems and, preferably, an interactive virtual environment is disclosed. Alternatively, the instrumented handle and pedal systems are part of a virtual reality augmenting kit that can convert most types of exercise equipment, such as a stationary or exercise bicycle, ergometer, rowing machine or the like, into full virtual reality (VR) smart systems. In another embodiment, the instrumented handle and pedal systems can each be used separately with other types of devices. In a preferred embodiment, components embedded with sensors are implemented, e.g., on a stationary, exercise bicycle to monitor physiological and biomechanical parameters of the user. Signal data from the sensing components is used to immerse the user in a VR simulation so as to provide the user with visual, auditory, and haptic feedback to the user's performance.
