Purpose of the Project

This paper presents a prototype of a web-based medical information system that integrates IoT and hand gesture recognition to assist stroke patients with remote rehabilitation. The system enables patients to perform exercises at home while allowing healthcare providers to monitor their progress remotely. It describes the role of usability testing to refine the system, aiming for an effective and accessible rehabilitation tool that combines medical needs with advanced technology.

Web-Based Medical Information System for Stroke Rehabilitation Internet-of-Things (RIOT) Patients: A Prototype

The RIOT system uses advanced hand gesture recognition technology to assist with exercises. Powered by MediaPipe, the system detects and interprets hand movements in real-time, ensuring that patients perform exercises correctly and effectively. This technology captures specific hand gestures and provides immediate feedback, guiding patients throughout each exercise. With this feature, patients can understand if their movements are accurate, allowing them to make adjustments right away for the best results.

• Help patients stay motivated
• Track their improvement, the system includes personalized progress tracking
• This gesture detection is powered by MediaPipe technology, which is highly accurate and adaptable. MediaPipe allows the system to recognize various hand positions and gestures essential for rehabilitation, making it an effective and precise tool for tracking progress.

One unique feature of the RIOT system is its remote monitoring capability for healthcare providers. Providers can access the patient’s progress and exercise data remotely, allowing them to monitor the patient’s recovery journey without requiring an in-person appointment. Providers can also give feedback or adjust exercises as needed, ensuring that patients receive continuous care and guidance.

Data privacy and security are top priorities in the RIOT system. Patient information, including health data and progress records, is stored securely and only accessible by authorized healthcare providers. This role-based access gives patients peace of mind, knowing that their data is protected according to healthcare standards.

The RIOT website is accessible across various devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones, allowing patients to perform exercises wherever and whenever it’s convenient. Our team is committed to improving the system, with plans for future updates to add more advanced gesture recognition capabilities and a broader range of rehabilitation exercises to support different needs.
