During the COVID-19 pandemic, the higher susceptibility of post-stroke patients to infection calls for extra safety precautions. Despite the imposed restrictions, early neurorehabilitation cannot be postponed due to its paramount importance for improving motor and functional recovery chances. Utilizing accessible state-of-the-art technologies, home-based rehabilitation devices are proposed as a sustainable solution in the current crisis. In this paper, a comprehensive review on developed home-based rehabilitation technologies of the last 10 years (2011–2020), categorizing them into upper and lower limb devices and considering both commercialized and state-of-the-art realms. Mechatronic, control, and software aspects of the system are discussed to provide a classified roadmap for home-based systems development. Subsequently, a conceptual framework on the development of smart and intelligent community-based home rehabilitation systems based on novel mechatronic technologies is proposed. In this framework, each rehabilitation device acts as an agent in the network, using the internet of things (IoT) technologies, which facilitates learning from the recorded data of the other agents, as well as the tele-supervision of the treatment by an expert. The presented design paradigm based on the above-mentioned leading technologies could lead to the development of promising home rehabilitation systems, which encourage stroke survivors to engage in under-supervised or unsupervised therapeutic activities.

“…In [6], the researchers have designed a smart wheelchair which allows the disabled person to easily interact with the wheelchair via a mobile application that analyzes the data received from the sensors, and then visualizes the results for caregivers to remotely monitor the patient. The publication in [7], introduces a rehabilitation system which is designed and implemented to help stoke patients suffering from upper limb disability. This rehabilitation system exploits IoT through integrating gaming and wearable technology.…”

Smart wearables collect and analyze data, and in some scenarios make a smart decision and provide a response to the user and are finding more and more applications in our daily life. In this paper, we comprehensively survey the most recent and important research works conducted in the area of wearable Internet of Things (IoT) and classify the wearables into four major clusters: (i) health, (ii) sports and daily activity, (iii) tracking and localization, and (iv) safety. The fundamental differences of the algorithms associated within each cluster are grouped and analyzed and the research challenges and open issues in each cluster are discussed. This survey reveals that although Cellular IoT (CIoT) has many advantages and can bring enormous applications to IoT wearables, it has been rarely studied by the researchers. This article also addresses the opportunities and challenges related to implementing CIoT-enabled wearables.INDEX TERMS Smart wearables, Internet of Things, cellular IoT.

Soluções de saúde baseadas em jogos sérios aumentam o envolvimento do paciente e fornecem imersão (Ferreira et al, 2019), experiência (Herne et al, 2019) e biofeedback (Cargnin et al, 2015) no processo de reabilitação motora dos membros superiores (Pulido et al, 2019) e inferiores (Agyeman & Al-Mahmood, 2019). Existem diferentes tipos de jogos já sendo usados na área de reabilitação como 2D (Demers & Levin, 2020), 3D (Avola et al, 2019), jogos de realidade virtual (Shahmoradi et al, 2020), jogos de realidade aumentada (Gorman & Gustafsson, 2020) e outras interfaces de usuário naturais como Wii, PlayStation, Wii Balance, Xbox, Kinect.…”

É cada vez maior o número de pessoas que apresentam debilidade motora em membros superiores e enfrentam deficiências funcionais, dependendo de terceiros para realizar suas atividades de rotina. A reabilitação motora é caracterizada por uma rotina diária de deslocamento para as clínicas, exercícios físicos repetitivos e um lento processo de recuperação funcional, o que torna o tempo de tratamento muito longo, levando o paciente à falta de compromisso e abandono do tratamento. Nesse contexto, soluções de gameterapia têm sido utilizadas para a reabilitação motora, em que se utilizam cenários interativos de jogos sérios para potencializar a humanização do tratamento e a experiência do paciente durante a execução de exercícios de recuperação das funções motoras. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar um jogo sério inteligente para reabilitação motora de membros superiores, a partir do uso de modelos de visão computacional e aprendizado de máquina integrados a tecnologias com ampla inserção social, como câmeras embutidas em smartphones, laptops ou integradas em TVs. Para implementação do jogo sério, foram utilizadas as linguagens de programação web, HTML, CSS e JavaScript, incorporando a biblioteca TensorFlow e o pacote PoseNet para controlar os movimentos do paciente nos cenários do jogo. O jogo sério desenvolvido contribui para tornar a gameterapia uma técnica presente e viável em clínicas de reabilitação e ambientes domiciliares, uma vez que sua inserção não depende de custos associados com a tecnologia ou adaptações de infraestrutura no ambiente.
