Abstract

There are currently approximately 45 million people in Europe who report a long standing health problem or disability; according to the World Health Organization data the total number of persons chronically ill are 860 million at a worldwide level. Within a person centric health management framework, the modern healthcare systems must move away from the 'health care' to 'health management' in order to shift from 'how to treat patients' to 'how to keep people healthy'. Assistive and health monitoring technologies can help to automatically identify and address major deficits. In this work we describe a wearable pervasive platform able to monitor the muscular fatigue during his/her daily life. Our system monitors the performance of a subject through the evaluation of sEMG signals using a wearable device aimed to immediately recognize the onset of muscular fatigue.
