Abstract:
Unwillingness of many people to assume responsibilities for a personal health, fitness and wellness seems to
be widespread. This can be partially remedied by individualized exercise and wellness program that integrates
the basic knowledge domains: lifestyle, sports and fitness, and nutrition and personal/environmental health.
However, collection, management and analysis of data and metadata related to these domains is demanding
and time consuming task. Moreover, the appropriate annotation of raw data is crucial for their next processing.
To promote such a program a software infrastructure for collection, storage, management, analysis and
interpretation of health related data and metadata has been proposed and part of this infrastructure has been
developed and tested outside laboratory conditions. This software prototype allows experimenters to collect
various heterogeneous health related data in a highly organized and efficient way. Data are then evaluated and
users can view relevant
information related to their health and fitness.
