Tiivistelmä
This handbook summarizes key findings from clinical and laboratory-controlled demonstrator trials regarding wearables to assist rehabilitation professionals, who are planning the use of wearable sensors in rehabilitation processes. The handbook can also be used by those developing wearable sensor systems for clinical work and especially for use in hometype environments with specific emphasis on elderly patients, who are our major health care consumers.
This handbook is part of the SENDoc project (Smart Sensor Devices fOr rehabilitation and Connected health). SENDoc project will assess monitoring sensors technical, clinical and social acceptability aspects and their impact on patients, on health and care delivery, and on rural communities. It is an international project, comprised of four partners. The lead partner is Ulster University (Northern Ireland, UK) and the other partners are: Tyndall Institute/University College Cork (Ireland), Västerbotten County Council (VLL)/Umeå University (Sweden) and Karelia University of Applied Sciences (Finland). The SENDoc project aims to introduce the use of wearable sensor systems in ageing communities in northern remote areas.
