Promoting Rehabilitation Using a Multimodal Internet of Things-Based Patient Monitoring System in a Smart Hospital.
Article in IEEE journal of translational engineering in health and medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveContinuous monitoring of patients' physical and psychological status using wearable sensors and Internet of Things platforms may enhance rehabilitation. We aimed to assess the feasibility of an Internet of Things-based smart hospital system integrating multi-source data to support individualized rehabilitation in patients with gait disturbances.
methodsWe conducted a single-center feasibility study at Yongin Severance Hospital, Korea, including 15 inpatients with subacute central nervous system injuries (mean age, [Formula: see text] years). The system integrated smart insoles, smart bands, real-time location system data, and mobile application data into the electronic medical record. Gait parameters, including step count, walking distance, gait speed, stride length, and symmetry, were measured during self-exercise. The app collected self-reported scores on pain, anxiety, depression, appetite, sleep, and general condition. Compliance, patient satisfaction, and nurses' qualitative feedback were analyzed descriptively.
resultsMonitoring lasted [Formula: see text] days. Patients averaged 7,[Formula: see text],520 steps/day and walked 3,[Formula: see text],198 m/day; 87% showed reduced stride length and 27% had marked gait asymmetry. Application-based symptom monitoring enabled tailored interventions, including medication adjustments and referrals. Smart band data were sometimes incomplete owing to recording errors. Operational challenges included battery depletion, data transfer interruptions, and device registration errors. Overall satisfaction averaged 4.28/5; comfort rated the highest, durability the lowest. Nurses valued real-time condition detection and improved self-report honesty but noted increased workload.
conclusionImplementing an Internet of Things-based system that integrates wearable and self-reported data into an electronic medical record is feasible in inpatient rehabilitation, facilitating individualized feedback and clinical decision-making while maintaining high patient adherence and satisfaction. Clinical Impact-This study shows the feasibility of an IoT-based smart hospital system integrating multisource data into EMRs, enabling personalized rehabilitation, improving clinical decision-making, and supporting scalable digital healthcare models.
