The use of IoT technology alone can establish an information
network that interconnects hospitals, communities, healthcare
devices, homes, and other terminals. Facing with the tremendous
information content and great system complexity, the network
itself cannot provide quick and effective rehabilitation treatment.
There still exists two key problems in the application of IoTbased
rehabilitation: 1) quick diagnosis for patients; and 2)
rehabilitation strategy creation and rehabilitation resources
reconfiguration based on the diagnosis. Ontology, the application
of which is still at exploring stage, is found as a promising
attempt that can help to quickly find the solution for such large
scale system as IoT-based smart rehabilitation system.
