Smart Rehabilitation Monitoring System Using Wearable Sensors and Internet of Things

The Smart Rehabilitation Monitoring System proposes an embedded and Internet of Things-based approach for monitoring selected rehabilitation exercises. The design combines a wearable motion sensor, an ESP32 controller, wireless communication, and a monitoring interface to collect, process, and display movement-related information. The proposed system aims to support the recording of exercise repetitions, session duration, and selected motion parameters. Its modular architecture provides opportunities for future improvements in sensor integration, data visualization, and remote monitoring. However, system reliability depends on correct sensor placement, calibration, and exercise-specific processing. Implementation and experimental evaluation are necessary to determine accuracy, repeatability, and usefulness. The system is intended to complement professional rehabilitation guidance rather than replace clinical assessment.
