Measurement and Assessment of Hand Functionality via a Cloud-Based Implementation
Measurement of hand functionality is vital for the rehabilitation process as a result of hand injuries. However, patients in remote areas are experiencing difficulties with frequent visits to clinics and hospitals for therapy. This research proposes a novel framework involving a cloud-based implementation based on finger function measurement and tele-assessment employing an affordable optical sensor. Creative Senz3D allows patients to measure and monitor their hand function in non-clinical settings without affecting the quality of treatment. The underlying system includes a subsystem of non-contact ROM measurement of the hand and a cloud-based application which provides web interface for authorised users and a web API for hospital and healthcare professionals. Phalangeal measurement data is regularly sent to data centres that it is conveniently accessible for clinicians to monitor the progress and advise patients the suitable time to visit the hospital. The proposed system is aimed at addressing and providing an e-health solution to a crucial short coming in phalangeal rehabilitation.
