Modeling a medical activity monitoring system for computer-aided diagnosis
| Period: | since 2009 |
| Partner: | Sendsor GmbH |
Motivation
Lack of exercise is a rising and wide spread problem. The convalescence of diseases like obesity, cardiac insufficiency, diabetes and bone healing are addicted to a controlled dose of the patient’s activity. Activity monitoring means the continuous recording of a person’s acceleration data. This method is gaining more importance for the treatment of these diseases especially considering their optimized convalescence.
Sendsor GmbH has developed an activity monitor that consists of a three-axial acceleration sensor, a microcontroller and an integrated flash memory. Furthermore a USB interface that allows an easy connection to a computer and a PC-software and a LED bar allows a feedback and status indication. The device is easy to handle without the need for the patient’s interaction.
The miniaturized high-resolution activity monitor - that can be worn e.g. on a key bunch - records continuously the acceleration data for up to more than two months and supports first analyzing algorithms to give a direct feedback about the actual and/or the past activity.
Objectives
The PC software should allow an easy illustration of the patient’s activity profile over a longer period of time. Physicians should be able to analyze this profile and adjust special parameters in the monitor’s algorithms to advance the treatment of the patient’s disease.
The demo application Knowing: A Generic Data Analysis Application (to appear in EDBT'12) implements a generic prototype on which the software is based.
