Abstract
The objective of this research is to support patient-centric healthcare by developing data-enabled decision-making tools to improve treatment outcomes of total joint replacement (TJR) patients using emerging wearable technologies and Internet of Things (IoT). The knowledge generated through this research is expected to assist the design and implementation of tele-rehabilitation for a wide range of physical, sensory, cognitive and neurological disabilities. As a pilot study, the project primarily focuses on patients receiving TJR among different age groups to develop, test and validate our research. Survey and experiments will be conducted on recruited UF Health TJR patients to collect their physiological data and their feedback. The data collected along with patient Electronic Health Records (EHR) will be integrated to develop an intelligent decision support system for improving the cost-effectiveness of rehabilitation intervention. All knowledge generated from this pilot study will then be used to develop a wearable sensor based tele-rehabilitation prototype that assists TJR patients’ post-surgery physical therapy (PT) exercise and the associated interactive education.
