MOVIDA

Physical activity monitoring platform

Chronic diseases prevention and management combined with rehabilitation programs establishes a true challenge for the healthcare community. Epidemiological studies reveal an increased prevalence of cardiovascular and chronic diseases and specifies supervised physical activity as a strong tool to control their progression.
This interdisciplinary and inter-institutional project will create a global health community program centered in a platform with a mobile app and a dashboard, aimed to monitor physical activity, being divided into 4 main modules to target several branches of the population. The program enables exercise prescription and monitor user’s performance and adherence in metabolic diseases patients (MOVIDA.cronos), draw and follow up cardiac rehabilitation programs (MOVIDA.eros), track and quantify indoor movements (MOVIDA.domus), and access to a stratified training circuit to maintain or improve fitness levels in healthy users (MOVIDA.polis).
