Abstract
The article summarizes ongoing research on intelligent Tele-rehabilitation Assistants for in home rehabilitation of post stroke patients. The designed system is expressed by a set of smart sensors including a microwave FMCW Doppler radar that are connected to an embedded computing platform based on digital signal processor (DSP). This platform assures advanced data processing and wireless data transmission to a human machine interface (HMI) Android OS compatible device expressed by a tablet or by a smart phone as part of a health care intelligent ambient. The information from the health status and motor activity smart sensors is added to the patient localization given by a radar RFID device. Additionally, well-established neuronrehabilitation instruments are used to evaluate the results obtained by the proposed architecture implemented in a ubiquitous and pervasive manner.
