In this paper, the user requirements, along with the methodology adopted towards their identification within the i-PROGNOSIS framework (www.i-prognosis.eu), are presented. The latter are placed within the concept of active and healthy ageing (AHA), focusing on the case of Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients' support. The bases for the user requirements identification were face-to-face sessions, focus groups and a large scale Web-survey. Towards the efficient user requirements identification and i-PROGNOSIS components development, exemplified usage scenarios and related business processes the stakeholders of i-PROGNOSIS can perform, are discussed. Overall, 122 functional and non-functional requirements were identified, serving as a basis for the spiral development model of i-PROGNOSIS, revealing the beneficial role of the users in designing solutions within the AHA concept.

Sport analytics in general and soccer analytics in particular constitute quickly growing markets when it comes to professional analyses and visualizations. From a data analysis research perspective, soccer is a rich source of geospatial and temporal movement data, with high details and a controlled environment. However, soccer movement is complex as its compounds are actions and reactions of two opposing teams with inverse goals. Common analyses performed today are typically oriented towards statistical analysis and considering aggregate measurements. In this work, we propose a set of effective visual-interactive methods for investigating set plays as a first step towards semi-automated analysis of tactic behavior. In our analytic design, we follow the so-called Information-seeking Mantra by Ben Shneiderman by providing overview visualizations, interactive refinements, and detailed analysis views. We take an applied approach in showing case studies that give evidence for the applicability and merits of our proposed techniques.

The reduction in physical and social activity in elderly people degrades the aging process, causing or increasing suffering to the individual and to his family and friends. Most times, the individual well-being is related to the strength of the social bonds with the family and friends group, so it is important to keep this bonds in the various stages of life, especially in the later life, when the individual has health limitations and is living in a community centre. This paper proposes an exploratory approach, regarding the use of information technologies systems, as autonomous systems, to assist in supporting and encouraging elderly people to preserve and develop their social activities and the relationships with their family and friends social group. During the course of the aging process, some aging people have their social activity degraded due to health limitations and institutionalization in elderly care centers, in which they are admitted as residents. We propose the design of a software system, capable of running in autonomous devices, such as, robots and other consumer appliances, enabling them to recognize and interact with the users, according to their state of mind and the specific current moment context. The interactions should be simple and focused on keeping the users informed about the current life events of their family and friends, and create the opportunities for the users to interact with the participants of those events by creating interaction proposals. The systems would monitor the user's family and friends group, regarding their information and actions on the social media. The system's interactions with the user would be based on that knowledge and on the knowledge of the user's current context. An adaptive user interface would present and manage the user interactions, acting as a mediator between the user and his family and friends group.

The existing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) about Frailty, Falls, and Functional Loss Education (3Fights@Edu) are scarce in Europe and the information packages are mainly focused on specific disease/health topics (for instance, chronic illness, disability, obesity or nutrition). In this paper, the overall structure and organization of a MOOC-related with geriatric syndromes is presented, in order to promote active aging and to maintain independent living, specifically to the elderly people and their families. Overall, the effectiveness of the proposed MOOC, designed as 3Fights@Edu MOOC, can be seen as a starting point for the development of communication channels between primary and secondary end-users for the prevention of geriatric conditions.

Progression of Parkinson disease (PD) increases severe motor symptoms such as bradykinesia, tremor, gait disturbance and postural instability, interfering with patients' daily life autonomy. Clinical evaluation is based on specific Scales like Hoehn & Yahr (H&Y) or UPDRS scales. The main goal of the study was to identify motor changes in the kinematic parameters related to different stages of Parkinson's disease progression according to H&Y scale. A secondary goal was to determine more objectively the stage of the disease reducing the discomfort of scales subjectivity. Our sample integrated 103 patients (45 female and 58 male, 70.5±8.4 years) diagnosed with PD by neurologists specialized in movement disorders. Postural Behavior was evaluated using Computerized Dynamic Posturography equipment (Balance Master System). Postural behavior was based on posturographic analysis of the center of pressure (CoP) time series (corresponding to the vertical projection of the center of gravity) to determine kinematic parameter(s) considered suitable to identify postural behavior modification. The posturographic tests applied were: 1) modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB); 2) Limits of Stability (LOS); 3) Rhythmic Weight Shift (RWS). The results, concerning four stages of the H&Y scale (I-IV), showed significant differences between groups/stages. Static balance parameters like velocity, total distance, amplitude and frequency of CoP sway, increase with disease severity. In early to medium stages (I-II) of the disease, CoP presents a projection backwards, while in stage IV, this projection showed a trend to change forwards. Concerning dynamic balance, LOS presents a reduction mainly in the forward direction in all stages. The directional control in anterior-posterior RWS decreases with disease progression.

Visually impaired people find navigating within unfamiliar environments challenging. Many smart systems have been proposed to help blind people in these difficult, often dangerous, situations. However, some of them are uncomfortable, difficult to obtain or simply too expensive. In this paper, a low-cost wearable system for visually impaired people was implemented which allows them to detect and locate obstacles in their locality. The proposed system consists of two main hardware components, a laser pointer ($12) and an android smart phone, making our system relatively cheap and accessible. The collision avoidance algorithm uses image processing to measure distances to objects in the environment. This is based on laser light triangulation. This obstacle detection is enhanced by edge detection within the captured image. An additional feature of the system is to recognize and warn the user when stairs are present in the camera's field of view. Obstacles are brought to the user's attention using an acoustic signal. Our system was shown to be robust, with only 5 % false alarm rate and a sensitivity of 90 % for 1 cm wide obstacles.

Practicing sports in the outdoors as a way to reduce stress levels, improve health and even as an incentive to enhance social relations, has encouraged more and more people to leave the sedentary lifestyle to perform activities like walking, jogging, hiking, biking, among others. This trend of practicing outdoor sport activities also was driven by new technological gadgets (e.g., smartphone whit special apps, fitness trackers and smartwatches) since they allow tracking all the workout performance values (e.g., pace, speed, distance, duration), vita parameters and signals (e.g., heart rate, temperature and calories burned) and also allow following the exercise route (e.g., geographic coordinates). During outdoors sports activities, independently if these are amateur or professional, the sportsman can suffer accidents, which can result in body injuries, or an unexpected health problem (e.g., heart attack, heatstroke and dehydration) that can limit its mobility or even its conscious state. When this happens, an emergency service should be activated. This is the more important the more remote is the site of the emergency. A solution envisaged to provide emergency care as soon as possible in cross-country sports competitions, even when the land topography is very rough, is proposed in this paper. The base idea is to use a drone that carries a first aid kit (bandages, alcohol, cotton, gauze, water, and other emergency and survival products) and has real-time audio and video communications capabilities.

The aim of this paper is to identify a set of heuristics for designing assistive ‘gamer-friendly’ environments. These heuristics are based on the literature review on game heuristics, game interfaces addressed to older adults and assistive technologies. Forty-seven papers published between 1980 and 2016 in English and Portuguese-language publications met inclusion criteria. Four web-based games and one exergame co-designed with a group of older adults and developed by our research team were then analysed in terms of the heuristics proposed. The following review presents sets of recommendations for designing assistive ‘gamer-friendly’ environments, taking into account the challenges posed by an ageing society.

People with motor and neurological impairments have little control over parts of their bodies, so they have great difficulty in walking. The development of solutions based on assistive technology dedicated to people with severe motor disabilities can provide accessibility and mobility, the intelligent wheelchair is an example of this type of technology. However, its use without proper training can be dangerous, a wheelchair simulator games can be a good tool for training people with severe disabilities. The EEG signals can be used as a source of information that allows communication between the brain and an intelligent wheelchair. This research aimed to develop a computer model to categorize electroencephalogram signals and control a virtual wheelchair using motor imagery of the left and right wrists, both wrists and both feet. Signs of electroencephalogram were acquired through the eegmmidb database — EEG Motor Movement/Imagery Dataset, captured by the BCI2000 system, and electroencephalogram signal samples from 10 individuals were used to validate the model. The techniques used are promising, making possible its use in three-dimensional simulation environments for intelligent wheelchair controlled by a brain-computer interface.
患有运动和神经障碍的人对身体的某些部位几乎没有控制力，所以他们走路很困难。基于辅助技术的解决方案的开发，专门为有严重运动障碍的人提供可达性和流动性，智能轮椅就是这类技术的一个例子。然而，如果没有适当的训练，它的使用可能是危险的，一个轮椅模拟器游戏可以是一个很好的工具，训练严重残疾的人。脑电图信号可以用作大脑和智能轮椅之间通信的信息源。这项研究旨在开发一种计算机模型来对脑电图信号进行分类，并利用左右手腕、手腕和双脚的运动图像来控制虚拟轮椅。通过BCI2000系统捕获的eegmidb数据库- EEG Motor Movement/Imagery Dataset获取脑电图信号，并使用10个个体的脑电图信号样本对模型进行验证。所使用的技术很有前途，使其在脑机接口控制的智能轮椅的三维模拟环境中使用成为可能。

The techniques used are promising, making possible its use in three-dimensional simulation environments for intelligent wheelchair controlled by a brain-computer interface.","PeriodicalId":209338,"journal":{"name":"2016 1st International Conference on Technology and Innovation in Sports, Health and Wellbeing (TISHW)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115139205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work presents a dataset of functional fitness tests acquired with Kinect v2 and physiological sensors. The dataset contains both young and senior subjects executing a number of fitness tests meeting scientific standards of reliability and validity. The main objective is the ability to assess lower body strength, endurance, gait speed, agility and balance from the data obtained from commercially accessible devices. The dataset can be used to develop algorithms to automate the assessment of fitness levels in low-cost computer based systems for use at home, gymnasiums or care centers.
