We have three generations of persuasive technology devices used in health care, up to now. The IS-ACTIVE system –Inertial Sensing System for advanced Chronic Condition Monitoring and Risk Prevention is a third generation system, using IT, inertial sensors, sensors for physiological parameters and a feedback device in order to improve the physical activity and subsequently, the health state and the quality of life for people affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other respiratory and cardiovascular disabling medical conditions.
