Abstract :
In this paper, the feasibility of a wireless health system will be presented. The developed system is based on a sensor electronic module, a smartphone and a process management system that handles expert models for individual health estimation and delivers results from the primary data. The system was evaluated with experiments on N = 128 volunteers who were monitored in real-world settings. Ecological momentary assessment was triggered automatically by the smartphone several times per day. All participants confirmed the feasibility and ease of use of the developed system.
