Modern Stroke Rehabilitation through e-Health-based Entertainment

Editors: Vogiatzaki, Emmanouela, Krukowski, Artur (Eds.)
Describes innovative approaches for achieving mixed-reality environments, combining augmented and virtual environments with full-body immersive user interfaces;
Offers cost-effective means of body motion capture by hybridizing wearable sensor data;
Utilizes energy-efficient micro-embedded sensors for wearable sensing applications;
Includes innovative, power autonomous sensing using Body Area Networks

This book describes a new, “e-Health” approach to stroke rehabilitation. The authors propose an alternative approach that combines state of the art ICT technologies ranging from Augmented and Virtual Reality gaming environments to latest advances in immersive user interfaces for delivering a mixed-reality training platform, along with advanced embedded micro sensing and computing devices exhibiting enhanced power autonomy by using the latest Bluetooth Smart communication interfaces and energy saving approaches. These technologies are integrated under the umbrella of an online Personal Health Record (PHR) services allowing for delivery of personalized, patient-centric medical services whether at home, in a clinic or on the move.
