Abstract

One of the significant advantages of technological evolution is the greater ease of collecting and analyzing data. Miniaturization, wireless communication protocols and IoT allow the use of sensors to collect data, with all the potential to support decision making in real time. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a digital solution to guide the intensity of training or physical activity, based on heart rate wearable sensors applied to participants in group sessions. Our system, featuring a unified engine that simplifies sensor management and minimizes user disruption, has been proven effective for real-time monitoring. It includes custom alerts during variable-intensity workouts, and ensures data preservation for subsequent analysis by physiologists or clinicians. This solution has been used in sessions of up to six participants and sensors up to 12 m away from the gateway device. We describe some challenges and constraints we face in collecting data from multiple and possibly different sensors simultaneously via Bluetooth Low Energy, and the approaches we follow to overcome them. We conduct an in-depth questionnaire to identify potential obstacles and drivers for system acceptance. We also discuss some possibilities for extension and improvement of our system.
基于传感器的多人锻炼强度管理实时监测方法
技术发展的一大优势是数据收集和分析更加便捷。微型化、无线通信协议和物联网使得使用传感器收集数据成为可能,从而为实时决策提供支持。在本文中,我们介绍了一个数字解决方案的设计和实施,该解决方案基于应用于小组会议参与者的心率可穿戴传感器,用于指导训练或体育活动的强度。我们的系统采用统一的引擎,简化了传感器管理,最大限度地减少了对用户的干扰,已被证明能有效地进行实时监控。它包括在可变强度锻炼期间的自定义警报,并确保数据的保存,以便生理学家或临床医生进行后续分析。该解决方案已用于多达六人的训练,传感器与网关设备的距离最远可达 12 米。我们介绍了通过蓝牙低功耗技术同时从多个传感器(可能是不同的传感器)收集数据时面临的一些挑战和限制,以及克服这些挑战和限制的方法。我们进行了一次深入的问卷调查,以确定系统验收的潜在障碍和驱动因素。我们还讨论了扩展和改进我们系统的一些可能性。
