“…Applications of vibrotactile feedback to change behavior range from creating awareness when muscles are insufficiently relaxed (Hermens, op den Akker, Tabak, Wijsman, & Vollenbroek, 2014) to recognition of uneconomical driving patterns (Birrell, Young, & Weldon, 2013). This report provided an assessment of changes in sleep resulting from use of vibrotactile supine avoidance feedback in a relatively large cohort being treated for positional OSA or snoring.…”

“…Examples of these systems are [7] for detecting cardiovascular illnesses, [8] for alerting on physical conditions or [9] for tracking changes in physiological responses of patients with chronic diseases. Some of these systems also provide educational modules and personal coaching for promoting healthier lifestyles and managing health conditions [10], [11]. Broadly speaking, main drawbacks of most of these solutions refer to misperformance, limited application scope and lack of interoperability with other similar systems.…”

Abstract-The world is witnessing a spectacular shift in the delivery of health and wellness care. The key ingredient of this transformation consists in the use of revolutionary digital technologies to empower people in their self-management as well as to enhance traditional care procedures. While substantial domain-specific contributions have been provided to that end in the recent years, there is a clear lack of platforms that may orchestrate, and intelligently leverage, all the data, information and knowledge generated through these technologies. This work presents Mining Minds, an innovative framework that builds on the core ideas of the digital health and wellness paradigms to enable the provision of personalized healthcare and wellness support. Mining Minds embraces some of the currently most prominent digital technologies, ranging from Big Data and Cloud Computing to Wearables and Internet of Things, and stateof-the-art concepts and methods, such as Context-Awareness, Knowledge Bases or Analytics, among others. This paper aims at thoroughly describing the efficient and rational combination and interoperation of these modern technologies and methods through Mining Minds, while meeting the essential requirements posed by a framework for personalized health and wellness support.

“…The intervention group wears the activity coaching system during the home-based exercise program for two weeks: After two weeks’ use, the influence of the activity coaching system seems to diminish because patients include exercises in daily routines as shown in patients with COPD [27]. Physical therapy after TKA is effective when it starts early [29], so we hypothesize that adding the activity coaching system in the first two weeks [30, 31] stimulates people towards a more active and healthy activity behaviour. It consists of an accelerometer-based activity sensor (Promove 3D, Inertia Technology, Enschede, the Netherlands), which is worn on the patient’s hip combined with a smartphone (Desire S; HTC, New Taipei, Taiwan).…”

BackgroundThere is consistent evidence that supervised programs are not superior to home-based programs after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), especially in patients without complications. Home-based exercise programs are effective, but we hypothesize that their effectiveness can be improved by increasing the adherence to physical therapy advice to reach an adequate exercise level during the program and thereafter. Our hypothesis is that an activity coaching system (accelerometer-based activity sensor), alongside a home-based exercise program, will increase adherence to exercises and the activity level, thereby improving physical functioning and recovery. The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an activity coaching system in addition to a home-based exercise program after a TKA compared to only the home-based exercise program with physical functioning as outcome.MethodsThis study is a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Both the intervention (n = 55) and the control group (n = 55) receive a two-week home-based exercise program, and the intervention group receives an additional activity coaching system. This is a hand-held electronic device together with an app on a smartphone providing information and advice on exercise behavior during the day. The primary outcome is physical functioning, measured with the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) after two weeks, six weeks and three months. Secondary outcomes are 1) adherence to the activity level (activity diary); 2) physical functioning, measured with the 2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT) and the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score; 3) quality of life (SF-36); 4) healthcare use up to one year postoperatively and 5) cost-effectiveness. Data are collected preoperatively, three days, two and six weeks, three months and one year postoperatively.DiscussionThe strengths of the study are the use of both performance-based tests and self-reported questionnaires and the personalized tailored program after TKA given by specialized physical therapists. Its weakness is the lack of blinding of the participants to treatment allocation. Outcomes are generalizable to uncomplicated patients as defined in the inclusion criteria.Trial registrationThe trial is registered in the Dutch Trial Register (www.trialregister.nl, NTR 5109) (March 22, 2015).
