Abstract
Physical therapy has a lot of importance for the well being and a better quality of living for an elderly patient. One integral constituent of any patient regime is the home-based exercise that a patient works on in a much comfortable environment. Although the benefits are well known, there is a big lag between the exercises prescribed by the therapists and the ones actually done by the patient. There is no cost effective and non-complex methods available to quantify the exercises performed by the patient. In this paper, a study was performed to check the validity and efficiency of a system consisting of a Smart IoT enabled speaker, which contains an orchestrator. Which is speech learning unit, an exercise database at the edge, and connected to the cloud, where the generated reports are stored and transferred for further analysis, if required. We report the efficiency of the system compared to the ratings of a physical therapist, a standard currently being used.
