Abstract
This paper presents the development of an m-Health platform for supporting the rehabilitation process of patients with acquired brain injury. A six-step methodology for neuro-rehabilitation was supported by the platform called CloudRehab. This cloud-supported home-based rehabilitation platform includes a mobile application and a web application. The mobile application has been designed to record and play videos simultaneously, as well as collect physiological and behavioral data to be uploaded to the cloud. The collected data are accessed through a web application for professionals of health. A single subject research design indicated the platform was effective for improving a daily living activity of a patient with chronic sequelae after stroke. CloudRehab improve the performance of the rehabilitation exercise in a real-context training, contributing to the effectiveness of the rehabilitation process. The use of technological solutions for supporting neuro-rehabilitation can seamlessly provide benefits to patients and health systems.
