Trends in e-Health Monitoring Implementation in Sports

  • Aktuell
  • Published:
Sport- und Präventivmedizin

E-Health focusing on mobile telemonitoring, detection and management of unrecognized health abnormalities and disorders in physically active people is a major field of interest. Telemedicine services are most frequently requested in the area of: (a) pre-participation screening of athletes; (b) athletes monitoring mainly during extreme sports; and (c) home-exercise training telecare, especially for patients with chronic diseases who participate in rehabilitation programs.
