Development of Ball-Shaped IoT Device for Rehabilitation

In this paper, we develop a ball-shaped Internet of Things (IoT) device as a smart rehabilitation tool and implement a computer-based game on our device as a rehabilitation tool to maintain user's basic life ability and working memory (WM). In order to validate the workability of the computer-based game ported on the smart rehabilitation tool, this paper focuses on the digital signal processing during game playing by users with our device, as well as on validating the feasibility of the game. The main target population of our rehabilitation tools are users who need rehabilitation like muscle or WM training. In the future, our rehabilitation tools may be applied to more patients or rehabilitation institutes after the completed integration of the hardware structure and software program.
