Physio Log: An application for easier collection of patient and test data for physiotherapists
(2023) EEML05 20231Department of Biomedical Engineering
- Abstract
- When a stroke patient visits a physiotherapist for rehabilitation, various tests are often conducted. The results from these tests need to be stored somewhere, and currently, there is no efficient method for doing so. The best available option is an Excel spreadsheet that calculates the results, followed by the physiotherapist having to save the data in another way. This process is time-consuming, complex, and not particularly satisfying way of working. The aim of this project has been to develop a solution in the form of a software program where all patients' tests can be stored in one place. Additionally, the program provides new tools to the user for easily modifying patient data, visualizing results for patients, and conveniently... (More)

The aim of this project has been to develop a solution in the form of a software program where all patients' tests can be stored in one place. Additionally, the program provides new tools to the user for easily modifying patient data, visualizing results for patients, and conveniently adding new patients or selecting existing ones. The project has been carried out at Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH) and, in some cases, at the Health Science Center in Lund as well. We have been in contact with our supervisor, Håkan Carlsson, throughout the project. The program has been developed using the Python programming language and has been built as a GUI application with various windows for user navigation. Furthermore, a database has been created using SQL to store all patient and test data. The final application functions as intended, providing the user with an efficient and convenient way to input patient information and save test data. This saves time for physiotherapists and provides them with the means to present the patients with their results in a clear manner. (Less)
