New Hope for the Recovery of Stroke Victims

Technological advances in health today make it possible to view illnesses and recoveries differently. In England, researchers and scientists at the University of Southampton have imagined and developed a new technology, which may well help people who have suffered a stroke.

Technology at the service of health

Thanks to subsidies from the British National Institute for Health Research, the team succeeded in developing after two years of research, a wearable which would improve recovering the use of the arm and hand of stroke patients. A great step forward for a scourge that affects many men and women. This object would be able to provide information on muscle movements, when patients practice a daily activity or task at health home.

So the hospital stay of these patients would be shorter. From a psychological point of view, it is also important for a patient to regain independence as quickly as possible, in order to recover as well as possible from this accident. Because in fact, prolonged hospitalization can have consequences on the psychological and physical recovery of patients.

The wearable is composed of sensors that detect vibration and muscle activity when it is moving and contracting. The data collected by the smart health smart health connected object will then be analyzed and sorted. They will then be forwarded to a computer interface which connects several doctors. So the wearable can allow them to have a representation of patient movements, and therefore to determine if there is an improvement or not.

One of the primary purposes of this object is also to minimize time spent with therapists and doctors, both for psychological reasons for patients, only for reasons for hospital organizations.

The use and marketing of this undoubtedly expected wearable has not yet been announced.
