| Sumario: | Nowadays, the emergence of technological advances has led to the creation of a new research field called "e-Health". It is defined as the deployment of health care supported by the use of information and communications technology, more commonly called ICT. Many projects have been carried out in this field in order to make things easier, as detecting various diseases or problems (preventive medicine). In order to help Parkinson's patients acquire knowledge through printed text, we face the challenge of using the advantages the existing tools in the market provide us. Hence, a platform for reading a book has been developed with the EV3 Mindstorms kit. Moreover, this has been complemented with an Android graphic interface responsible for managing the system. Our research also includes measurements of accuracy, battery energy usage and the proper distances to place the robotic arm that allows turning pages. All in all, a contribution to improve the Parkinson's patients quality of life and accessibility shall be presented. |
