Integration of Smart Home Health Data in the Clinical Decision Making Process

Patients suffering from COPD benefit from the performance of any kind of physical activity. The 3D layer context (3DLC) model characterizes data from smart home environments in relation to their relevance for the clinical decision making process. We have used this model to show how data from an ambient activity system in the domestic environment can be used to provide a more informed and thereby better treatment management for COPD patients. We set up an experiment to calculate an individual intensity relation between household activities and telerehabilitation training on a bicycle ergometer. We have extracted features from the power data of devices, which are used during the performance of two example every day activities to calculate the energy expenditure for the performance of these activities.
