评估康复干预措施对个人真实的生活的影响是选择康复战略所需的决策过程的一个关键要素。在过去，治疗师和医生从临床环境中进行的观察和患者的自我报告中推断出给定康复方法的有效性。可穿戴技术的最新发展提供了工具，以补充康复人员通过患者的直接观察以及通过访谈和问卷调查收集的信息。新一代可穿戴传感器和系统已经出现，允许临床医生在家庭和社区环境中收集测量结果，这些测量结果可以捕获患者的活动水平和运动依从性、药物干预的有效性以及患者有效执行特定运动任务的能力。可用的非侵入式传感器允许临床人员监测患者的运动和生理数据，例如心率、呼吸率和氧饱和度。移动电话技术和互联网的广泛接入提供了实施系统的手段，这些系统旨在远程监测病人的状况，并根据个人对不同康复方法的反应优化干预措施。本章总结了可穿戴技术领域的最新进展，并介绍了该技术在康复中的应用实例。
Assessing the impact of rehabilitation interventions on the real life of individuals is a key element of the decision-making process required to choose a rehabilitation strategy. In the past, therapists and physicians inferred the effectiveness of a given rehabilitation approach from observations performed in a clinical setting and self-reports by patients. Recent developments in wearable technology have provided tools to complement the information gathered by rehabilitation personnel via patient's direct observation and via interviews and questionnaires. A new generation of wearable sensors and systems has emerged that allows clinicians to gather measures in the home and community settings that capture patients' activity level and exercise compliance, the effectiveness of pharmacological interventions, and the ability of patients to perform efficiently specific motor tasks. Available unobtrusive sensors allow clinical personnel to monitor patients' movement and physiological data such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. Cell phone technology and the widespread access to the Internet provide means to implement systems designed to remotely monitor patients' status and optimize interventions based on individual responses to different rehabilitation approaches. This chapter summarizes recent advances in the field of wearable technology and presents examples of application of this technology in rehabilitation.
