PAMAP
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY MONITORING
The PAMAP system comprises two separate conceptual parts: information acquisition and information management.
Information acquisition is based on a network of sensors, e.g. miniature inertial sensors, which are worn by the subjects in order to measure their motions and other vital signs. Innovative information processing technology is then used to extract the relevant parameters of physical activity.
The information management system consists of the infrastructure and applications that enable the system users – the monitored subject, her family and friends, and the clinicians – to share, review and analyse the collected activity data, exchange information, communicate and interact. A clinical study based on individualised exercise programs for fit and healthy elderly, cardiovascular and functional disease patients is planned at the end users site for the final project phase (November 2011 to March 2012)
