Development of a Telemedicine Complex for Stroke Rehabilitation

This work describes the benefits and the necessities for the development of the medical sector related to post-stroke tele-rehabilitation. The work and its importance will always be relevant. In addition to the fact that the number of stroke victims does not change and rehabilitation centers are overwhelmed by the flow of patients, the technological and innovative potential of this sector is still not fully explored. Rehabilitation centers remain as important sector since initial treatment and initial rehabilitation should be followed under the care of a doctor using more expensive and technologically advanced devices. The proposed solution will help with continuing rehabilitation at home if the patient is not in critical condition or in close proximity to a rehab center for attendance. The purpose of this graduate thesis is to develop a telemedicine device that will allow stroke victims to rehabilitate at home. Data from the device will be sent to Rightech IoT cloud platform where statistics will be displayed in a convenient and readable format for medical workers. The work will explore the technologies that are used in stroke rehabilitation, what competencies patients and doctors should possess when using the device, and future prospects. As a result of the work, a complex will be developed to assist in the rehabilitation of stroke survivors and to monitor exercise performance to identify possible improvements in patients' condition. The work is 57 pages in total, the paper contains of 16 illustrations and 36 sources.
