A General System for Self Collecting Individual Data - Application to Medical Data

摘要

In this paper, we propose a system to allow the self-collection of individual data through digital questionnaires and sensors. The self-collecting person uses a tablet or a smart phone and wears a watch that contains the sensors. The main feature of this system is to memorize in a uniform way the answers to the questionnaires and the values of the sensed parameters in order to facilitate their joint analysis. The system has been developed and tested to monitor osteoarthritis patients. It represents an essential element of the control loop: elaboration of recommendations - monitoring the execution of these recommendations - evaluation and readjustment of these recommendations. This system has been implemented in a generic form and can be used to monitor any patient at home or on the move outside. We explain, also, the extensions we are currently making to obtain a general and flexible system.
