According to one of the project's authors, Eva Dolnikova, the sensor built into the glove reacts to the user's movement and sends a signal to the quadcopter. This method of performing exercises helps to focus on progress.

The developers have completed the preparation of the complex itself and are working on a mobile application. It will help track the patient's results.

Earlier, LETI scientists presented a prototype device that uses sound to help blind people navigate in space.
