Deans' stroke musings: New Mobile Platform Revolutionizes Stroke Rehabilitation

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

New Mobile Platform Revolutionizes Stroke Rehabilitation

But you tell us nothing about how many got 100% recovered using this. As such, I CONSIDER IT A COMPLETE FUCKING FAILURE!

New Mobile Platform Revolutionizes Stroke Rehabilitation

A groundbreaking new mobile platform has emerged from Hong Kong, designed to revolutionize stroke rehabilitation in community and home settings. Developed by a team of medical professionals, engineers, and allied health experts, the SmartRehab platform utilizes AI technology to assist stroke patients in their recovery journey.

SmartRehab features a range of gross movement exercises that are specifically tailored to improve upper limb function, weight shifts, and balance. What sets this platform apart is its advanced computer vision-based pose estimation algorithm, which utilizes the mobile device’s built-in RGB camera to track and predict the patient’s precise body framework and key joint locations. By analyzing changes in joint angles, velocity, and the presence of spastic movement, SmartRehab can evaluate the quality of a patient’s movements and provide real-time feedback.

In addition to its exercise capabilities, SmartRehab also offers a portal for therapists to remotely monitor patients’ functional and motor performance, progress, and compliance. Therapists can prescribe exercises and track their patients’ development, ensuring a personalized and comprehensive approach to rehabilitation.

The World Stroke Organization has recently offered support to the SmartRehab team, allowing them to test the feasibility of their innovative platform in seven countries. This endorsement speaks to the potential impact that SmartRehab could have on stroke rehabilitation worldwide.

Looking ahead, the team plans to expand the platform’s repertoire of movements, enabling the rehabilitation of fine motor functions. They also aim to introduce biometric monitoring functions to the mobile app, allowing for a more holistic understanding of the patient’s progress and overall well-being.

With SmartRehab’s combination of cutting-edge technology and personalized care, stroke patients now have access to an innovative tool that can significantly improve their recovery process. This mobile platform represents a major step forward in stroke rehabilitation and offers hope to the millions of individuals affected by stroke worldwide.
