Technological contributions for health: outlook on physical activity

Abstract The scope of this paper sought to analyze the potential of using Internet technologies of wearable accessories and devices and the possible interventions in physical activities, seeking improvements with respect to physical inactivity and Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (CNCDs). By means of a bibliographical review, it was revealed that there is great concern regarding physical inactivity and CNCDs as well as the increasing research focus on these technological strategies. The amount of data collected in real time is one of the strengths of the devices, which can assist in longitudinal research, interventions in patients and also in physical activities performed, revolutionizing relationships and interventions in the area.

摘要：本研究旨在分析可穿戴配件与设备的互联网技术应用潜力，以及针对体力活动的可行干预手段，以期改善体力活动不足与慢性非传染性疾病（Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases，CNCDs）相关状况。通过文献综述研究发现，学界对体力活动不足与CNCDs的关注度颇高，且此类技术策略相关研究的聚焦程度日益提升。实时采集海量数据是此类设备的核心优势之一，可助力纵向研究、患者干预以及日常体力活动的开展与监测，进而推动该领域的合作关系与干预模式实现革命性变革。
