Smart wearables for tailored health and exercise assessment of real-time training

In the context of the EU ""Healthier Together"" initiative, the main objectives include reducing the significant health burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), especially cardiorespiratory (CR) ones, and improving the overall health and well-being of the community. As several CR diseases manifest during extreme exercise, there is a need to monitor these conditions and tailor the exercise regimens to the specific subject’s CR profile. The goal of SWEATHEART is to create an energy-efficient embedded wearable system to continuously monitor CR parameters during high-intensity exercise and exercise-induced phenomena in elite athletes, whose profile is the most suited. It will use accurate wearable sensors in real-world training sessions to tailor exercise prescriptions and prevent overreaching and cardiorespiratory issues. To achieve the goal, SWEATHEART will follow three objectives: 1) Detect the CR parameters in real-time using an optimal set of non-invasive and low-cost wearable sensors and emerging computing techniques
