GlobalSensing: A Supervised Outdoor-Training in Cardiological Secondary Prevention

Abstract

The GlobalSensing system has the aim to supervise (bicycle-) hiking of a group of patients in a cardiologic rehabilitation by taking advantage of user-friendly components. A smartphone application, the patient component, records the vital data and data of the training by using a sensor-broker. These data is transmitted via internet to the group leader and to the cardiologist. This arrangement offers the possibility to monitor the data in real time, to ensure an optimal individual training and to protect the patient against overloads.
