An example method for assisting a patient to conduct a physical therapy session can include: presenting information about the physical therapy session on a display, the information including one or more actions to be performed by the patient; capturing one or more images of the patient as the patient performs the one or more actions; detecting, by a computing device, a safety risk related to one or more medical devices associated with the patient during the physical therapy session; and providing feedback regarding the safety risk. Other methods can include: detecting, by a computing device, using the one or more images, a level of effort from the patient during the physical therapy session; and modifying a future physical therapy session for the patient based upon the level of effort; or allowing the patient to compete with other patients during the physical therapy session based upon the level of effort.
