A technology platform for enabling behavioural change as a “PATHway” towards better self-management of CVD
(2016)
Moran, Kieran; Wei, Haolin; Monaghan, David; Woods, Catherine; O'Connor, Noel E.; Zarpalas, Dimitrios; Chatzitofis, Anargyros; Daras, Petros; Piesk, Jens; Pomazanskyi, Andrew
Abstract:
We describe a technology platform developed as part of a novel approach to technology-enabled exercise-based Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR), termed PATHway. We explain the overall concept and explain how technology can facilitate remote participation and better adherence to communitybased long-term Phase III CR. The demo will showcase the user experience of interacting with the PATHway system, including navigation and manual data entry, whilst also demonstrating real-time sensing and analysis of exercise movements and automatic adaptation of exercise based on physiological response.

Behavior Change Techniques in Physical Activity eHealth Interventions for People With Cardiovascular Disease: Systematic Review
(2017)
Duff, Orlaith; Walsh, Deirdre; Furlong, Bróna; O'Connor, Noel E.; Moran, Kieran; Woods, Catherine
Abstract:
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature death and disability in Europe, accounting for 4 million deaths per year and costing the European Union economy almost €196 billion annually. There is strong evidence to suggest that exercise-based secondary rehabilitation programs can decrease the mortality risk and improve health among patients with CVD. Theory-informed use of behavior change techniques (BCTs) is important in the design of cardiac rehabilitation programs aimed at changing cardiovascular risk factors. Electronic health (eHealth) is the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for health. This emerging area of health care has the ability to enhance self-management of chronic disease by making health care more accessible, affordable, and available to the public. However, evidence-based information on the use of BCTs in eHealth interventions is limited, and particularly so, for individuals living with CVD. Objective: The aim of ...

Abstract:
Background Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) can slow or reverse the progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, uptake of community-based CR is very low. E-cardiology, e-health and technology solutions for physical activity uptake and monitoring have evolved rapidly and have potential in CVD management. However, it is unclear what the current technology usage is of CVD patients, and their needs and interests for technology enabled CR. Methods A technology usage questionnaire was developed and completed by patients from a supervised ambulatory CR program and an adult congenital heart disease clinic and from two community-based CR programs. Results were described and related with age, gender and educational level by Spearman correlations. Results Of 310 patients, 298 patients (77 % male; mean age 61,7 ± 14,5 years) completed at least 25 questions of the survey and were included in the analysis (completion rate 96 %). Most (97 %) patients had a mobile phone and used the internet...

Abstract:
Background: The MedFit application is designed to facilitate people with cardiovascular disease (CVD) to participate in an exercise-based rehabilitation programme remotely. This paper details development of the formative research process outlined by the Medical Research Council. Purpose: To describe the development of the MedFit app, by following the early stages of the formative research process; development and feasibility/piloting. Methods: Following the creation of the first prototype of the app, the feasibility and acceptability of the prototype application was tested in focus groups. The focus group script was developed using a questionnaire (N=119 MedEx participants; 64.7% male; mean age 65 ± 8.86 years) based on usability theory (UTAUT2). Twenty-six cardiac rehabilitation participants took part in the five focus groups (65% male; mean age 64±8.2 years) to provide feedback on the prototype app. Focus groups were transcribed verbatim and in-depth content analysis was performed...

Abstract:
Research has shown that physical activity is essential in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease (CVD). Smart wearables (e.g., smartwatches) are increasingly used to foster and monitor human behaviour, including physical activity. However, despite this increased usage, little evidence is available on the effects of smart wearables in behaviour change. The little research which is available typically focuses on the behaviour of healthy individuals rather than patients. In this study, we investigate the effects of using smart wearables by patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. A field experiment involving 29 patients was designed and participants were either assigned to the study group (N = 13 patients who finished the study and used a self-tracking device) or the control group (N = 16 patients who finished the study and did not use a device). For both groups data about physiological performance during cardiac stress test was collected at the...

Abstract:
The single leg squat (SLS) is an important component of lower limb rehabilitation and injury risk screening tools. This study sought to investigate whether a single lumbar-worn IMU is capable of discriminating between correct and incorrect performance of the SLS. Nineteen healthy volunteers (15 males, 4 females, age: 26.09±3.98 years, height: 1.75±0.14m, body mass: 75.2±14.2kg) were fitted with a single IMU on the lumbar spine and asked to perform 10 left leg SLS. These repetitions were recorded and labelled by a chartered physiotherapist. Features were extracted from the labelled sensor data. These features were used to train and evaluate a random-forests classifier. The system achieved an average of 92% accuracy, 78% sensitivity and 97% specificity. These results indicate that a single IMU has the potential to differentiate between a correctly and incorrectly completed SLS. This may allow such devices to be used by clinicians to help track rehabilitation of p...

Expanding sensor networks to automate knowledge acquisition
(2011)
Conroy, Kenneth; May, Gregory; Roantree, Mark; Warrington, Giles
Abstract:
The availability of accurate, low-cost sensors to scientists has resulted in widespread deployment in a variety of sporting and health environments. The sensor data output is often in a raw, proprietary or unstructured format. As a result, it is often difficult to query multiple sensors for complex properties or actions. In our research, we deploy a heterogeneous sensor network to detect the various biological and physiological properties in athletes during training activities. The goal for exercise physiologists is to quickly identify key intervals in exercise such as moments of stress or fatigue. This is not currently possible because of low level sensors and a lack of query language support. Thus, our motivation is to expand the sensor network with a contextual layer that enriches raw sensor data, so that it can be exploited by a high level query language. To achieve this, the domain expert specifies events in a tradiational event-condition-action format to deliver the required c...

Gluttony and Sloth: Signs of Trouble or Evidence of Bliss?
(2006)
Bednarek, Heather L.; Jeitschko, Thomas D.; Pecchenino, Rowena A.
Abstract:
In a model of rational agent choice in which agents value consumption and leisure as well as health, we establish that individuals, unconstrained by concerns of income or time, can and will choose levels of consumption and leisure that exceed their physiological optima. By how much they exceed the optima depends on a variety of factors, most importantly, the utility cost (benefit) of achieving health. Observed positive long-run trends in adult weight, brought on by higher levels of consumption and lower levels of physical activity, often interpreted as a public health crisis in the making, can be explained by these factors. But, rather than the trend suggesting crisis, it suggests only optimal responses to altered, and perhaps improved, circumstances. While individuals today, all else equal, may weigh more than those a generation or two ago, they also may be happier.

Integration of kinematic Analysis into Computer Games for Exercise
(2006)
Fitzgerald, D.; Foody, J.; Kumar, D.; Kelly, D.; Ward, Tomas E.; Markham, Charles; Caulfield, B.
Abstract:
This paper incorporates a review of current methods for integrating body movement or physical activity into computer games and a rationale for a new approach in this genre. Computer games are frequently implicated in the increasing sedentary nature of modern lifestyles and associated problems such as childhood obesity. Any measures that help to incorporate physical exercise into computer games will help to advance the notion that they can be used to promote rather than hinder health. Current approaches to integrating physical exercise into games can be divided into 2 categories: (1) camera based tracking of gross 2-D body movement and, (2) sensor based tracking of 2 or 3-D kinematics of regional body segments. These approaches are appropriate for their means yet they do not permit integration of whole body 3- dimensional kinematics into a computer game. Such a system should have the capability to monitor 3-D kinematics from all body segments and reconstruct the body's movement ...

Maynooth Development Plan exercise
(1992)
Waddington, Shelagh B.
Abstract:
The following field exercise is designed for use with Leaving Certificate students. It is based on Maynooth, Co. Kildare, a town of approximately 5,000 inhabitants plus a large third level student population attending St. Patrick's College. The town has grown rapidly over the past sevetal years, becoming increasingly a dormitory settlement for Dublin. The exercise outlined here need not be carried out in Maynooth, as it may be readily adapted for use in any town or city area for which County Development Plan information is available. The exercise was "roadtested" byagroup of AGTI members on 16th May 1992, and I gratefully acknowledge their helpful comments on that occasion.

The impact of carbohydrate ingestion on the regulation of fat oxidation following exercise
(2007)
Sarsfield, Fiona
Abstract:
Purpose: To determine the impact of carbohydrate (CHO)ingestion on the regulation of fat oxidation following glycogen lowering exercise. Methods: Six males (age 23.4 2 1.7y, vo2peak 58.0 2 2.1 ml.kg-'.min-') participated in the study. Subjects performed an incremental maximal cycle ergometer test and a verification trial to determine the workload corresponding to 75%V02peak. On separate days, subjects exercised at 75% vO2peak for 90 min. Following exercise, subjects consumed either a CHO drink or a flavoured placebo (PLA). Substrate oxidation was measured for I h after exercise using indirect calorimetry. Before, immediately after, and A h after exercise, subjects had a muscle biopsy taken from the vastus lateralis. Results: Subjects exercised at a similar %VO2peak during both the CHO (71.5 2 I -8% v02peak) and the PLA (72.5 2 1.8%VO2peak) trials. Energy expended during and following exercise was similar between trials. The contribution of fat towards energy expenditure ...
