N2 - Long-term monitoring of physiological and psychosocial
variables would be beneficial to investigate slowly
developing
deterioration in wellness status of a subject. We
designed a personal
wellness monitoring system (TERVA), which allows
monitoring
wellness-related variables at home for many weeks or even
months. The TERVA
system runs on a PC computer and interfaces with
different measurement
devices through serial interface. Measured variables
include beat-to-beat
RR intervals, activity level, blood pressure, weight,
temperature,
respiration, ballistocardiography, movements, and sleep
stages. In
addition, self-assessments of daily wellbeing are stored
by keeping a
behavioral diary. To test the system, one healthy man was
monitored for 10
weeks and an aged woman was monitored for 2 weeks. The
data allows
conclusion that the TERVA system provides a method to
investigate
wellness-related data over several weeks or even months
in out-hospital
conditions.
