Inertial Sensing Systems for Advanced Chronic Condition Monitoring and Risk Prevention

Initial experiments with COPD patients, February 2011

The initial experiments took place during the month of February 2011. They involved COPD patients from three different countries: The Netherlands, Romania and Norway. The experiments had as objectives to test the technology developed within the IS-ACTIVE project and to draw initial conclusions about usability and user acceptance. Despite the differences in between countries, the results show the high potential of the IS-ACTIVE system to be accepted by patients and integrated into their every day living environment.
