Abstract
Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability in the United States, leading to a serious demand for new interventions to improve the quality of life in stroke survivors. To this end, direct cortical stimulation using an epidural electrode has been reported with promising results in animal and human studies, showing the potential for enhancing the recovery in chronic stroke patients. For optimal results, doctors must be able to modify the stimulation pattern as frequently as needed over a period of time for a given patient. This study aims to develop a prototype of a telemedicine system to enhance stroke recovery by using a ZigBee-based wireless neuro-stimulator. Remote neuro-stimulation treatments was enabled via internet. The system also helps doctors to plan more personalized treatment by analyzing chronic records of the patients. The system can also be beneficial as a common platform for a wide range of brain diseases and clinical care for which electric stimulation is helpful.
