Abstract
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning have significantly improved healthcare, especially in the development of assistive technologies for rehabilitation. This paper introduces a method for hand rehabilitation that utilizes the capabilities of tiny machine learning to enhance speech classification in a rehabilitation device. The proposed method employs a CNN model capable of classifying speech signals that are indicative of different hand movement patterns. Patients emit these speech signals during prescribed hand exercises, which are crucial for their rehabilitation process. The main focus of this study is on training and deploying a speech classification system that can work in the resource-limited environment of TinyML platforms. We detail the process of capturing speech data, preprocessing it, and extracting the most features relevant to different hand movements. Our results show that using TinyML to help with hand rehabilitation works. The method we came up with shows how TinyML could change the way rehabilitative devices are controlled, and it also shows us what personalized and easy-to-use rehabilitation tools might look like in the future.
