Paper Abstract:
|
A significant aspect of the modern, holistic and decentralized health care is the provision of out-of-hospital physical rehabilitation and physical activity monitoring services to frail and aged people. Physical activity monitoring is also meaningful for healthy subjects, as it contributes to the assessment of their wellbeing and enhances their interaction with trainees and teammates. The PAMAP system monitors and analyses physical activity and provides its users and their supervisors with valuable feedback. It helps the subjects to perform rehabilitation related activities and monitor the level of their activity. It also provides them with personal health record service, via interactive TV and smart phone interfaces. |
