Health Monitoring System for Post-Stroke Management

This paper presents an intelligent health monitoring system for post management of stroke. Fitbit sensor was used to take the reading of four stroke patients in Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe State, and the vital readings recorded were heartbeat rate, sleeping rate, the number of steps taken, for a period of four weeks. The developed AppFabric, Web service and AppFeedBack synchronized the operation of the sensor, the user mobile device and the medical diagnostic platform. The readings taken by the sensor were made available to the medical experts and the monitoring team using web service. The evaluation of the system in terms of efficiency and reliability using t-Test were (82.3, 85.9) and (1.729133, 2.093024) respectively. The results show that the developed system performed better than the existing manual method for monitoring stroke patients.
