Abstract

The process of rehabilitation of a stroke patient is long and complex, yet it is necessary to recover the flexibility of muscle movement and reduce the risk of a recurrent stroke. Thus, this paper uses flex force smart gloves to assist physicians to remotely monitor the rehabilitation process of stroke patients via data collection gloves using flex sensors. In this work, Raspberry Pi is used to connect to the Internet and, in conjunction with the Arduino platform, to interface with the electronic components of the system. Performance analysis on Arduino and Raspberry Pi has shown that Arduino is capable of output data at an average interval of 1,785 ms at a baud rate of 115,200 baud. However, communication between Arduino and Raspberry Pi reduces performance to an average of 5,421 ms. In addition, this paper also demonstrated the ability of Raspberry Pi to perform complex processes without significant performance degradation in this application. The final system has shown its ability to read, process, record and relay data from the data gloves.
