FeelFit

Project description

In the course of digitalization, information technology is increasingly being used in the healthcare sector to support existing structures or to open up new communication possibilities. Electronic patient records, for example, have the potential to ensure a uniform supply of information and improve intersectoral cooperation between healthcare providers. Existing solutions from Vivy, vitabook or TK safe already offer the possibility of storing and sharing laboratory findings, X-ray images and comparable documents, among other things. At the same time, technologies such as fitness wristbands, smartwatches and smart home devices are becoming increasingly popular. In most cases, these devices only work with the mobile applications of the respective manufacturers and are used almost exclusively for self-information. However, these measured vital parameters can also be used as valuable information for the user's health care. Until now, however, it has not been possible to combine the data from different sensors in one platform and share it with healthcare providers such as doctors or pharmacists. The FeelFit digital health assistant addresses this problem. The aim was to bring together different vital parameters in a structured way and to make them available in a multimodal, processed and user-centered way in order to increase users' health awareness on the one hand and to enable the use of this data for medical care on the other.
