VISIO ACTIVITES SPORTIVES INTERACTIVES
The PEPSY V@SI project is part of the field of specialization “Innovations in Biomedical Sciences and Technologies but also in the field of “Digital & Society”, mobile services sub-field of the research and innovation strategy based on intelligent specialization (RIS3) of the Lower Normandy region. Thanks to the expertise provided by the 2 laboratories in the field of schizophrenia for one (ISTS, UMR 6301) and in the field of APA for the other (COMETE, U), this project aims to develop an Adapted Physical Activity (APA) offer for patients presenting a schizophrenic disorder, a chronic, frequent pathology (1%), causing disability (80% of patients), a high sedentary lifestyle and severe co-morbidities (obesity, diabetes, cardiac pathologies). APA has already shown its effectiveness in reducing co-morbidities, social adaptation and quality of life in the general population. The major innovation of the program lies in the development of a complete offer covering the entire value chain: medical prescription, construction and individualized implementation of remote support (tele-support) through Adapted Physical Activity, deployment of an interactive technological platform integrating a video-conferencing system and a physiological data monitoring system (sensors). Tele-support developed by V@si is a promising and innovative way to facilitate patients' access to physical exercise. Indeed, physical capacities are lower in schizophrenic patients who are little motivated to go to traditional fitness centers. In parallel with this, the main objective of BodyCap within this research program is to provide and/or develop innovative solutions for monitoring heart rate and activity responding to all the constraints inherent in monitoring the target populations of this type of program; namely: - reliable and precise measurement of these parameters, - monitoring and feedback of information in real time, via a dedicated platform, - post-processing allowing, if necessary, to highlight the variability of the heart rate, - level of performance ensuring good acceptability on the part of the user: o confidentiality of data, o lifespan, o storage capacity, o transmission distance, o speed of data unloading. - Preserve user comfort: o miniaturization of the device, o optimization of the design and materials used. The ob'do Contact Agile company is participating in the project by focusing on the integration of the video-conferencing and physiological data monitoring system used by participants during remote coaching sessions. We will call this system the V@siBox. The action of ob'do Contact Agile is initially to set up prototypes of the V@siBox at the start of the project in order to start the research program. The V@si Box will have the function of connecting commercial sensors (example: BodyCap and ZephyrMonitoring). Secondly, ob'do Contact Agile will offer an industrializable version of the V@siBox thanks to feedback from the field. The ob'do Contact Agile team will be heavily involved in the first part of the program by creating prototypes. Its activity will continue with the maintenance and improvement of V@siBoxes and the preparation of their industrialization.
