中風不只影響患者本身,也讓病患家屬(照護者)身心受到相當程度的重創。如何降低中風病患病情繼續惡化的機率(二度中風)與提昇病患家屬(照護者)的生活品質是本研究的主要目的。本研究提出“中風病患守護神復健裝置”機制是整合無線感測網路與可穿戴式多生醫感測器應用於中風病患復健。此機制能自動紀錄病患的日常生醫紀錄在達到異常現象時,早期發出預警給相關醫護人員做適當應變措施,也即時讓家屬能透過遠距監控系統了解患者的身心狀況。在本系統中,我們應用可穿戴式布料電極片用來偵測心電信號與心律;將溫度與呼吸感測器置於可穿戴式主機裝置上用來記錄病患體溫與呼吸數可以輔助專業人員分析;透過加速規和舵螺儀感測器來精確判斷跌倒偵測。將所量測的生理數值電子量化並可利用無線網路的方式傳輸至系統接收端,提供授權後的使用者可以透過瀏覽器的圖形介面讀取資料。
Stroke not only influence patient himself, this will indeed reduces the life quality of the patient’s family. How to lower the probability of patients' worsening conditions and to promote the better quality of the patient’s family are our major subjects of this study. We propose the “STROKE-GUARDIAN Rehabilitation Device” mechanism, which is to integrate the wireless sensor network (WSN) and wearable multiple physiological sensors and then apply to the stroke rehabilitation. “GUARDIAN” can automatically record the bio-information of the stroke’s daily life such that our system can send out the alarm information to those care persons when there is an abnormal condition. Hence, those medical care persons can make the proper response for lowering the probability of patients' worsening conditions. Moreover, the patients' member can understand and monitor the stroke’s newest information by the tele-care to make the proper action such that they can promote their life quality. In our system, the wearable electrodes can be employed to detect the ECG and heart rate from the stroke. Then, the temperature and respiration sensor can be sewed within the wearable vita-bent and then detect the body temperature and the amount of respiration, respectively. Finally, the accelerometer sensor and gyroscope sensor within our system can detect correctly whether the stroke falls down or not. All bio-information of the stroke’ daily life can be transmitted to the data collector by WSN, and then the authorized users can show all information by their browser with the graphic interface.
