TUT Overview
The Track User Tracker (TUT) project is a system developed to assist both
patients and physicians in the monitoring and prescribing of exercise
regimens. The system is tailored to an indoor athletic track. It is
comprised of web-based software systems designed to facilitate
doctor-patient interactions and monitor exercise patterns. Hardware,
comprised of a wearable portable electronic device and RF transmitter nodes,
records an exercise session in real time. The hardware is preprogrammed
prior to each session with a user specific exercise regimen. The device
records the user’s performance of the exercise regimen while providing
feedback to the user of adherence parameters, for example, time remaining.
Session data is uploaded via USB to a resident host computer. The host is
responsible for updating a remote secure website where a database record is
created for each session. The database is accessible by the user and the
relevant health care provider. The TUT system can be of potential benefit to
both the medical professional and their patients who are in need of physical
therapy and or weight loss, cardio-vascular improvement.
