Abstract: Objective To design a web-based monitoring system for rehabilitation equipment in order to solve the problems of inadequate monitoring system for existing rehabilitation equipment and poor communication between doctors and patients. Methods The system was composed of device communication layer, server layer and user access layer, which was implemented by B/S architecture. Rehabilitation equipment was connected with intelligent gateway through wireless communication module. HTTP protocol and socket communication technology were used to realize remote communication between rehabilitation equipment and platform server. The server layer mainly used MVC design pattern and J2EE technology, adopted the current popular Web framework SSM (Spring + Spring MVC + MyBatis) design, MySQL database was responsible for data storage. User access layer was designed with HTML5+JSP+Bootstrap+HighCharts+CSS+JavaScript+Ajax and other technologies. Results By deploying the public network of the project, the remote monitoring experiment of the equipment was carried out. The upload of status information and the download of page control instructions could be responded in a short time interval. Considering the factors such as network delay, the design met the requirements. Conclusion This system is simple to operate and efficient to transmiss data between platform and equipment. It can provide convenient service support for medical staff, patients and equipment administrators.
