Tele-Therapy System for Cognitive Disturbances

Stroke can cause a variety of cognitive disturbances depending on the location of the injury. It is proved by clinic that some specific cognitive training is a safe and effective method for stroke patients who are suffering from cognitive disturbances. In this paper, we designed and implemented a tele-therapy system that based on Internet, so that the patients with cognitive impairment can take the therapy at home. It might be more convenient and effective than the traditional therapy of outpatient visits to the rehabilitation hospital. The tele-therapy system is composed of the computer-assisted cognitive training system (CACT) and the tele-therapy web on Internet for managing the system and training records.
