Abstract

In this paper we present some results of ongoing work on a case study that combines an employee portal with the monitoring of physical activity of the employee during his working time. The essence of this case study is to show how information about the worker's individual physical activity can be presented online in a comprehensive way together with the actual portal information. This allows not only the employee, but also therapists and health consultants to analyze physical activity and rest periods during the work in conjunction with the corresponding work description. The purpose of our case study is to promote physical activity as a key employee health management strategy. And for this, our results show that even with low cost and little technical effort, current mobile and web technologies can simplify the acquisition of sensor data and the integration into existing systems. We want to motivate especially small and middle-sized companies to consider the integration of physical-activity monitoring to preserve the health and well-being of their employees. Promoting the employees health is an investment in the company's human capital and can reduce the risk of i.e. Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In opposite to large enterprises where health-management has been well established, small companies can often not effort the cost for enterprise health and prevention management systems and the implementation by specialists. We have developed a lightweight Web API that provides easy access to the physical-activity data and function for visualization. We demonstrate how the API is applied together with the employee portal.
具有集成的身体活动监测的员工门户的案例研究
在本文中,我们介绍了正在进行的案例研究的一些结果,该案例研究将员工门户与员工在工作时间内的身体活动监测相结合。本案例研究的本质是展示如何以一种全面的方式将有关工作人员个人身体活动的信息与实际门户信息一起在线呈现。这不仅使雇员,而且使治疗师和健康顾问能够结合相应的工作说明分析工作期间的身体活动和休息时间。我们的案例研究的目的是促进体育活动作为一个关键的员工健康管理策略。为此,我们的研究结果表明,即使低成本和很少的技术努力,当前的移动和网络技术也可以简化传感器数据的获取和集成到现有系统中。我们希望鼓励中小型公司考虑整合身体活动监测,以保护员工的健康和福祉。促进员工健康是对公司人力资本的投资,可以降低患糖尿病和心血管疾病的风险。与健康管理已经建立的大企业相反,小公司往往无法承担企业健康预防管理系统和专家实施的成本。我们已经开发了一个轻量级的Web API,可以方便地访问体育活动数据和可视化功能。我们将演示如何将API与员工门户一起应用。
