Design of physiotherapy monitor and control system based on embedded system

For the problems of present physiotherapy system, the paper presents a system framework of physiotherapy monitor and control system which using embedded system as hardware platform that based on high performance ARM processor AT91SAM9263, and Windows CE 5.0 as embedded operating system. Embedded Visual C++ 4.0 is used as software development environment for physiotherapy monitor and control system. Some techniques of Windows CE are employed, such as multi-threading technique, that is used for serial communication with physiotherapy controller and the message and event driven mechanism, that is used for real-time state display of physiotherapy controller. The system also has good scalability, supporting for remote authorization access and charging function and be able to meet different requirements of users.
