With the global penetration of smart phones and communication networks, millions of people now use mobile devices as a daily tool for communication, data transfer and much more. As a consequence, possibilities have opened up for new technological advancements to emerge. These technological advancements involve the creation of external hardware solutions that reap the benefits of smart-phones' capabilities in order to become more cost effective and mobile. Devices which enable remote monitoring of patients have been identified as one of the areas most uniquely suited to grow in tandem with this technology. On an international setting, this specific field of technology is often referred to as mHealth and is predicted to grow substantially in the upcoming years.

This projects aims at supporting the development of a platform to support mHealth solutions by incrementally developing new tools and applications. We will initially target home rehabilitation applications, where the patient performs exercises without the supervision of a therapist. The goal is to make use of sensors and movement analysis techniques in order to provide relevant feedback to the patient so as to positively affect recovery and health outcomes.
