Title
Biofeedback in the Wild - A SmartWatch Approach
Abstract
The human body is one of the most complex biological organisms on our planet. A multitude of parallel, interleaving and sometimes opposing physiological and psychological processes can happen without, as a human being, be conscious about them. Biofeedback is a well-established method in clinical treatment providing humans awareness of the hidden signals their body is emitting and control over these signals under a variety of differently perceived situations. The epoch of smart wearables enables people to wear the necessary sensors and to view the abstracted visualizations on their wrist. In putting the formally stationary and clinical approach into everyday life, we see the possibility of a more effective treatment during the daily routines of people and therefore a shorter and more effective therapy phase. This work presents the design and implementation of a fully mobile biofeedback system utilizing a smartwatch enabling people to do personalized bio feedback training while being in their natural living habits with the possibility of being remotely monitored and guided by a professional trainer.
