Definition[edit | edit source]
Examples of medical use[edit | edit source]
A story by CNBC describes how in the Basque region of Spain hospital visists by patients suffering from chronic conditions are substantially reduced though the patients home use of medical tracking devices such as spirometers and pulse oximeters in conjunction with a home exercise programme delivered and monitored using Xbox Kinect. Data from the patients exercise and health measures are sent to health professionals who support the patient at a distance and only call the patient into the hosiptal when necessary.
Using a self tracking exercise device with predefined goals has been found to increase exercise levels in sedentary adults[1].
