Abstract

Remote monitoring of physical effort has a great importance in the treatment of some cardiopathies. Nowadays, wearable motion-tracking devices represent an easy solution to acquire relevant data. We demonstrate a system based on a commercial sensor that sends real-time information to a hospital via a mobile gateway -the patient's cell phone- in the same Bluetooth WPAN.
