A more efficient, transportable device for real-time activities and exercise recognition

 

Many people in the world are affected by muscle wasting, especially the population hits by myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). Those people are usually given a program of multiple physical exercises to do. While DM1 and many other people have difficulties attending commercial centres to realize their program, a solution is to develop such a program that can be completed at home. To this end, the authors present the results obtained with a prototype of an improved version of a portable system for patients. The new prototype, which runs on BLE technology instead of Wi-Fi, produced promising results.
