Abstract :
MyHeart is a so-called Integrated Project of the European Union aimed at developing intelligent systems for the prevention and monitoring of cardiovascular status. The approach of the MyHeart project is to monitor Vital Body Signs (VBS) with wearable technology, to process the measured data and to give the user (therapy) recommendations from the system. Using its broad base of technical and business expertise, four concepts adressing cardiac health have been developed and tested on a technical, business, realisability and usability level.
