Full text
Abstract:
For monitoring the progress of athletes in various sports and disciplines, several different approaches are nowadays available. Recently, miniature wearables have gained popularity for this task due to being lightweight and typically cheaper than other approaches. They can be positioned on the athlete’s body, or in some cases, the devices are incorporated into sports requisites, like tennis racquet handles, balls, baseball bats, gloves, etc. Their purpose is to monitor the performance of an athlete by gathering essential information during match or training. In this chapter, the focus will be on the different possibilities of tennis game monitoring analysis. A miniature wearable device, which is worn on a player’s wrist during the activity, is going to be presented and described. The smart wearable device monitors athletes’ arm movements with sampling the output of the 6 DOF IMU. Parallel to that, it also gathers biometric information like pulse rate and skin temperature. All the collected information is stored locally on the device during the sports activity. Later, it can be downloaded to a PC and transferred to a cloud-based service, where visualization of the recorded data and more detailed game/training statistics can be performed.

Abstract:
It is rare for research on augmented-reality games to examine equity and access as grounded in features of the actual neighborhoods where game play takes place, and in the affordances of communities and their built environments for gamified ambulatory physical activity in the real world. This chapter studies two diverse groups of middle-school youth, situated in urban and suburban areas, who wore activity monitors as they went through daily activities and played an online game that synced with their monitors. The game drew data from the wearable devices so that the more youth engaged in step-countable physical activity in the real world, the more game-world energy they earned. This chapter analyzes the actual communities where our participants' activity and game play was situated. The chapter lays out the multi-modal data sources in that analysis and provides some potential models that can be employed by others in related work. Finally, the chapter closes by articulating some directions and concerns for future research in a gamified physical world.

Abstract:
Active technology (i.e. ‘wearables' and accompanying health tracking apps) is a multi-billion-dollar industry. Nearly one in every 10 people worldwide generates physiological and biomechanical data from wearable devices every day. This data allows users to evaluate their performance over time, to share with friends, to find like-minded training partners and share this data with their primary healthcare providers. Population-based research related to health, wellness, and physical activity is now feasible as a result of data generated from wearables. This chapter will highlight the major current trends and future applications for wearable devices from a user and research-based perspective across the active economy. The authors aim to highlight the practical and clinical utility of wearables to monitor training, fatigue, and performance on the athletic field, the workplace, and the clinical environments. The goal is to improve health, mobility, and quality of life of the end-user.

Abstract:
Wearable technologies' popularity in sporting practices continues to grow. Runners use GPS watches and activity trackers to track steps, log miles, map courses, and monitor heart rates. Likewise, wearables are integrated into long distance running events, with race officials relying on technologies to effectively execute events. However, technologies can also enable and monitor cheating. Many studies focusing on the individual explore why cheaters make unethical decisions. Actor-Network Theory shifts cheating's focus from the individual and moral failings to an assemblage that includes not only the runner, but nonhumans, such as technology, as well. A 2015 Canadian Ironman cheating incident case study illuminates intricate relationships and networks between humans and nonhumans. By examining the intersections of cheating and technology in running sports, the authors see where and how technology works as intended or is repurposed. Whereas a human-centered approach to sport and cheating dismisses wearables' agency, Actor-Network Theory reveals their underexamined, sociotechnical complexities.

Abstract:
Technology is changing healthcare and our understanding of human behavior. To date, most of our theories about behavior, everyday activities, and cognitive health have been formed based on questionnaire data, laboratory tests and experiments, and placing observers within the environment to record human behavioral habits. Smart technologies offer an opportunity to passively collect data about human behavior within the everyday environment. The possibilities for using smart technologies that can adapt, sense, infer, learn, anticipate, and intervene for health monitoring and intervention are considered “extraordinary” (Department of Health, 2007). Our Smart Home group affiliated with the Center for Advanced Studies in Adaptive Systems (CASAS) and others have been studying the role of smart environments as a type of “cognitive prosthesis” in which the smart environment operates alongside humans in order to monitor, maintain, and enhance their health and functional capabilities and overcome their limitations. For the clinical neuropsychologist, smart environment technologies offer opportunities for new methods of data collection, for both clinical and research purposes. Over the past decade, people perform their normal activities of daily living. The data can then be used to support everyday activities and to assist in rehabilitation and proactive interventions through real-time assistance and monitoring of real-world responses to intervention. The data can also be used to improve our understanding of the effects of cognitive impairment on everyday functioning as well as theories about behavior. The chapter begins with a discussion of research in the sensor technologies have become more mature. For example, sensor power and capacity have increased while sensor size and cost have decreased. Similarly, there has been significant progress in the areas of wireless networks, data processing, and machine learning. Data can now be automatically collected from sensor-filled smart homes (environmental or fixed devices), activity trackers (wearable devices), and smartphones (portable devices) in an unobtrusive manner while area of activity recognition, followed by application of this work to functional and health assessment and to activity-aware intervention.

Abstract:
Wearables are commercially available devices allowing continuous monitoring of users’ health parameters. Their easy availability, increasing accuracy and functionality render them relevant for medical practice, specifically for longitudinal monitoring. There are clear benefits for the health care system, such as the opportunity of timely interventions by monitoring a patient during his daily life, resulting in a cost reduction in medical care and improved patient well-being. However, some tools are essential to enable the application of wearables in medical daily practice. For example, there is a need for software solutions that allow clinicians to quickly and easily analyze data from devices of their patients. The goal of this study was to develop a dashboard for physicians, which allows rapid data interpretation of longitudinal data from the Apple Watch. The prototype dashboard is an interactive web-based visualization platform utilizing Plotly. The dashboard displays the most important parameters like heart rate, steps per day, activity, exercise collected by the Apple Watch in a user-friendly and accessible way. Clear visualization makes it easy to identify trends or deviations in the data and see how these changes in daily behaviour affect patients’ health. Our software is a key component to monitor patients with heart failure who participate in the HiGHmed use case cardiology project.

Abstract:
Statistics have shown that not only the proportion of elderly as part of the world's population is growing, but there also is a growing deficit of the working population compared to the retired population. Therefore, the provision for age-related medical conditions will put a heavy pressure on the healthcare system. This chapter discusses how pervasive computing can be used to help to achieve sustainability in healthcare for the elderly. Mobile devices can facilitate old adults to actively seek for health and nutrition information, beware of their vital signs, and follow an active life style in a safe manner. Light-weight wearable electronic devices can provide acute care and rehabilitation services to the elderly without causing a big impact to their quality of life. A model is suggested to integrate the use of pervasive computing in health education, health management, doctor support, and monitored rehabilitation at home.

Nearly one million people in 2009 were discharged from the hospital with stroke as the primary diagnosis [1]. One of the many lasting side effects of a stroke can be foot drop, or an inability to dorsiflex the foot. In order to remedy this, many people wear an ankle-foot orthotic (AFO) post-stroke. Interviews with AFO users revealed that they frequently have difficulty walking on stairs and ramps, because the AFO limits the plantarflexion that is natural in navigating those ground types. An active AFO that adapts to changing ground terrain would provide a more natural gait pattern for these in
