BioTechCOACH-ForALL: Development of Mental and Physical Exercise Systems, Clinical Recording, Supervisory Analytical Large-scale Data and Virtual Guidance of Vulnerable Population Groups

A group of thirty subjects diagnosed with heart failure (HF) of any etiology undergo an experimental procedure in the following order: resting-state (eyes-closed), passively viewing thirty two agents which are grouped with respect to different appearance characteristics and passively viewing combinations of virtual agents. During the experiment, brain activity, heart rate, skin conductance, temperature and eye-gaze biosignals are collected by means of electroencephalography, Empatica E4 and Gazepoint. Subsequently, a prospective cohort study is performed in a subgroup of ten participants which undergo a three additive stage procedure. Stage 1, a wearable monitoring device (Wavelet Health) is given in order to provide objective information on the patient's activity. Stage 2, the FitForAll physical exercise program is introduced. Stage 3, introduces the coaching aspects, where personalized recommendations and suggestions are delivered through home surfaces' projection.
