In the Netherlands, about 45,000 people suffer stroke each year. In 2010, as many as 33 million people in the world suffered from stroke. As the population ages, these numbers are expected to increase further in the coming years. The biggest problem for stroke patients is that they often have to cope with various physical limitations and have to participate in rehabilitation programs to improve the flexibility of daily physical activity.
For the first time in the world of 41 sensors, in the context of the European FP7 research project, doctoral student Bart Klaasen teamed up with an international team of healthcare professionals and engineers to develop an embedded INTERACTION package for those who recover from strokes. It is tracking their progress outside the clinic. The 41 sensors in the kit, including sensors for measuring muscle strength, back and hand stretch sensors, and sole pressure sensors, are designed to wear for three months to track the wearer's strength, flexibility and step state.
“Stroke patients often have to cope with the physical limitations caused by the disease. They usually have to participate in rehabilitation programs to be as effective as possible in daily life,†Klaasen said in a statement. “However, rehabilitation is currently taking place in rehabilitation clinics. After we complete the rehabilitation process, how do patients cope with their physical limitations in their daily lives? Our understanding is not enough, and understanding the daily life of these people is beneficial to later development. Plan to achieve more effective rehabilitation at a lower cost.â€
The suit is also equipped with a portable transmitter that wirelessly sends data to the University of Twente University server, and for the data processing part, the team successfully models all relevant movements and cleans up by filtering out the rest. Data related to therapists. As the project progresses, the plan is to transmit the data directly to the patient's medical team, even for clinical use.
Smooth data transfer to monitor home activity Klaassen said: “We have been in great need of such systems for a long time, but the technology is not yet ready. Due to the rapid development of battery technology, wearable devices, smart electronic textiles and big data analysis, this kind of The making of the system became a reality." The system has been proven to work well in his doctoral studies. However, this wearable suit is still only used for research and I do not know when it can be used clinically.
In developing this system, Bart Klaassen and the team adopted a user-centric approach to design. This allows them to continuously incorporate feedback from patients into the development of the system. Other stakeholders, such as insurance companies and healthcare professionals, are also involved in design and research work early on.
"We have been able to prove that all information transmission processes are very successful. This process is very efficient." Klaassen said. "Our project provides new technologies and methods that can be used to monitor patients at home over the long term and determine any differences with structured clinical measurements. We are currently conducting further studies to finally verify whether these methods are an ideal surveillance. The way to recovery."

41 sensors monitor the daily activities of stroke patients to improve the healing process
[China Instrument Network Instrument Development] Monitoring the daily activities of people suffering from stroke is a challenge for doctors. However, a research group at the University of Twente in the Netherlands is studying a wearable tracker kit that can closely monitor the daily operations of patients as they recover. It has 41 sensors that accurately monitor and analyze the patient's activity and adds basic equipment for the transmission, storage and processing of all collected data. This technique is highly likely to improve the rehabilitation process and reduce medical costs.
