LoRaWAN has emerged as a fast growing technology of choice in the Internet of Things (IoT) field, emerging as a crucial component of Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs). The deployment of a single access point can extend coverage to thousands of devices, resulting in a cost-effective and easy-to-maintain network infrastructure. LoRaWAN's long reach, combined with its efficient power consumption and resilient performance, has driven its popularity in a wide range of IoT applications. In particular, it has been adopted widely in sectors such as smart cities, agriculture and environmental monitoring, where the need for reliable, long-range connectivity is paramount. Due to these advances, the project has been initiated to establish a LoRaWAN network within the Baix Llobregat campus in Castelldefels. The main objective of this project is to create a fully operational network, in addition to integrating an IoT platform that allows to visualize the telemetry captured by the sensors. By analyzing the behavior of the network and assessing the reliability of connectivity through coverage tests performed at various points of interest, the project aims to obtain valuable information about the performance of the network from the perspective of the devices involved. It has been seen that for a configuration of SF12 in the devices, connectivity is guaranteed, however, in the area near the river, the error rate is high. In addition, the correct performance of the implemented networks servers has been verified, both the public version of The Things Network and the open source version of The Things Stack on a local server. Finally, the integration with the IoT Thingsboard platform was completed, allowing the creation of graphs to monitor the collected data, as well as the implementation of rule chains to process the data and send actions to the sensors in case of alarm activation.

Neurološke komplikacije nastale kao posljedica neuroloških oštećenja ili ozljeda danas su prilično česte te se osobe koje boluju ili su preboljele oštećenje mozga suočavaju sa teškim deficitima koji im narušavaju kvalitetu svakodnevnog života. Razvoj neurorehabilitacije predstavlja novi način rehabilitacije osoba s takvim problemima i ima ključnu ulogu u procesu oporavka. Neka od najčešćih neuroloških oboljenja i ozljeda su: moždani udar, multipla skleroza, Parkinsonova bolest i ozljede leđne moždine i mozga. Proces rehabilitacije svakog od ovih neuroloških problema zahtjeva preciznu dijagnostiku kako bi se odredilo u kojem je stadiju bolest, te o kakvim se oštećenjima radi. Neuroplastičnost je temelj na kojem se bazira suvremena neurorehabilitacija nakon oštećenja mozga, a odnosi se na sposobnost mozga da se reorganizira i uspostavi nove sinapse između neurona koji preuzimaju ulogu i funkcionalnost oštećenih dijelova tijela. S procesom rehabilitacije treba započeti što ranije, po stabilizaciji stanja pacijenta. Robotska neurorehabilitacija koristi robotske i senzorne uređaje kojima je cilj pomagati u izvođenju terapije, te povećati i pojačati učinak terapije. Kombinira se tradicionalna terapija te robotski i računalno potpomognute tehnologije koje omogućuju pacijentu da postigne najbolje moguće rezultate. U procesu rehabilitacije koriste se razna robotska pomagala. Roboti se dijele na robote koji kontroliraju samo jedan dio uda i egzoskeletone koji upravljaju cijelim udom. Neurorehabilitacija robotikom još je uvijek u procesu razvoja te je relativno nepoznat pojam u liječenju i rehabilitaciji neuroloških pacijenata, međutim ovakav vid liječenja i rehabilitacije pruža mogućnost oporavka pacijentima, koji zbog različitih neuroloških bolest ili oštećenja imaju oslabljene ili potpuno onemogućene donje i gornje ekstremitete tijela. Neurological complications resulting from neurological damage or injuries are quite common today, and people who suffer from or have recovered from brain damage face severe deficits that impair their quality of everyday life. The development of neurorehabilitation represents a new way of rehabilitating people with such problems and plays a key role in the recovery process. Some of the most common neurological diseases and injuries are: stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and spinal cord and brain injuries. The rehabilitation process of each of these neurological problems requires precise diagnostics in order to determine the stage of the disease and the type of damage. Neuroplasticity is the foundation on which modern neurorehabilitation after brain damage is based, and it refers to the ability of the brain to reorganize and establish new synapses between neurons that take over the role and functionality of damaged parts of the body. The rehabilitation process should start as early as possible, after the patient's condition has stabilized. Robotic neurorehabilitation uses robotic and sensory devices whose goal is to assist in the performance of therapy, and to increase and strengthen the effect of therapy. It combines traditional therapy with robotic and computer-assisted technologies that allow the patient to achieve the best possible results. Various robotic aids are used in the rehabilitation process. Robots are divided into robots that control only one part of the limb and exoskeletons that control the entire limb. Neurorehabilitation with robotics is still in the process of development and is a relatively unknown concept in the treatment and rehabilitation of neurological patients, however this type of treatment and rehabilitation offers the possibility of recovery to patients who, due to various neurological diseases or damage, have weakened or completely disabled lower and upper extremities of the body.
