- Tracking human routines towards adaptive monitoring: the MOVIDA.domus platformPublication . Gordalina, Gonçalo; Figueiredo, João; Martinho, Ricardo; Rijo, Rui; Correia, Pedro; Assunção, Pedro A. Amado; Seco, Alexandra; Pires, Gabriel; Oliveira, Luís; Fonseca-Pinto, RuiAccording to estimates by the World Health Organization, the average life expectancy will continue to rise. This indicator, being a measure of success in terms of healthcare, is not synonymous with quality of life and will increase healthcare costs. Associated with this problem are also the changes in terms of the organization of society, which has not been able to solve these constraints of functional limitations, dementia, social isolation, and loneliness. This paper presents the concept of adaptive surveillance based on mobile technology and artificial intelligence, presented in the context of a global physical activity monitoring program (MOVIDA), in his domus dimension designed to the elderly people with some functional limitation or dementia. The proposed solution for an adaptive surveillance is thus to conduct direct supervision programs, to enroll persons who live alone or in nursing homes who need supervision without limiting their individual autonomy. The preliminary results show that it is possible to use the data obtained from a mobile smartphone to identify routines and use this information to identify daily patterns. Changes to these routine patterns can be used to generate alarms for caregivers.
- A Cardiac Rehabilitation Program Supported by mHealth Technology: The MOVIDA.eros PlatformPublication . Silva, Emanuel; Rijo, Rui Pedro Charters Lopes; Martinho, Ricardo; Assunção, Pedro; Abreu Henriques Seco, Maria Alexandra; Fonseca-Pinto, RuiThe cardiac rehabilitation backdrop in Portugal is lacking much-needed improvements in order to better serve patients with different heart conditions. Although the beneficial results of cardiac rehabilitation are widely acknowledged, it is not being implemented in an optimal way, with few rehabilitation centers irregularly distributed throughout the country. In this context, the opportunity arose to develop a project that would help to fill in this gap. MOVIDA.eros is an ongoing project aims to bring more people into cardiac rehabilitation programs and help physicians monitor their health anywhere they are. By using a mobile app and a web platform, the MOVIDA.eros project allows healthcare providers to be constantly connected to their patients and see whether they are following their recommendations and adhering to the program. In this paper, an overview will be provided on the current situation of cardiac rehabilitation programs in Portugal, including the main weaknesses and issues that should be addressed. The main features of both the mobile app and the web platform will also be discussed, as well as any challenges that might have come up during the development process.
