About

The purpose of this study is to define the requirements and characteristics of the software that will be developed for the project "Creation of a platform for self-service of people living with chronic cardiovascular diseases in an understandable, clear, complete, consistent and verifiable manner.

The project concerns the design and implementation of a long-term program of therapeutic exercise and evaluation, by exercise and health professionals, of the anatomical and functional adaptations of exercise in patients and athletes with cardiovascular diseases. Essentially, it is a program of recording and monitoring cardiovascular rehabilitation in the form of systematic exercise of the patient both at home and in sports venues, which will contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular events in conditions of fatigue and at rest as well as to the gradual rehabilitation of the patient who performs a physical activity.

Depending on the individual's functional capacity and health issues, combined with monitoring the patient's vital signs (such as blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, body temperature) the exercise professional will create an individualized, targeted exercise program with ultimate aiming at its rehabilitation with the help of physical activity and the improvement of its functional performance and by extension the quality of life of the individual. At the same time, the project will seek to motivate patients to remain committed to the physical activity program, with the aim of faster reintegration into their daily life.
