Academics and designers have come up with a device to help people recover from the physical effects of a stroke.
Envisage uses motion sensor technology to show patients whether or not they are doing their rehabilitation exercises correctly.
It was created by a team from the Glasgow School of Art and the University of Strathclyde.
Focus groups suggested stroke survivors needed a way to keep motivated during the long road to recovery.
Linda Gordon, who had a stroke last year, said: "I think it's been a great thing, it's been really good."
At the age of 54, Ms Gordon is only one year older than BBC presenter Andrew Marr, who suffered a stroke earlier this month.
She lost the use of her right arm and leg - and has had to learn to walk again.
