Monitoring 3D movements for the rehabilitation of joints in physiotherapy.

This article tackles several problems faced by professionals in physiotherapy: the performance of the rehabilitation exercises by the patients, the control of the course of the illness and the patient's ignorance about whether or not he is properly performing the exercises. We propose a solution based on the use of the Wii Controller to control the exercise movements, along with software that provides the patient with an easy, intuitive and interactive control system. Finally, web services are used to allow the remote monitoring of the treatment by physiotherapy professionals.

An approach based on XML for communication in home healthcare systems.

In this paper we analyze the problems in home healthcare communication and we propose an approach for communication between different technologies implementing a new protocol. We use XML to define the communication frames, stored data and the accessibility. We also propose the ways to access to the information from anywhere using criteria of security, accessibility and the possibility of defining models of actuation before critical situations.
