TLDR
This demo presents a system for home assisted rehabilitation using the Kinect sensor, from Microsoft, which seems to be a good approach to minimize the problem of expensive health programs for cardiac rehabilitation.Abstract:
Elders are becoming a significant part of the population, in particular in Europe and Japan, where the decrease of the birthrate is becoming a serious social and political issue [1]. Additionally, people prone to a high risk of cardiac diseases are also increasing, mainly to due to the stress, unhealthy food, smoking habits and low exercise live style. On the other hand, current health programs for cardiac rehabilitation are expensive [2] and force the patients to miss working time to go to rehabilitation centers for assisted training. Therefore, the development of an home-based rehabilitation program based on games technology seems to be a good approach to minimize this problem. This demo presents a system for home assisted rehabilitation using the Kinect sensor, from Microsoft.read more

A Distributed System Using MS Kinect and Event Calculus for Adaptive Physiotherapist Rehabilitation
TL;DR: A distributed architecture to allow the physiotherapists to remotely assist their patients while they comfortably do exercises from home is proposed and includes a logical framework based on Event Calculus augmented with Expectations which provides a higher-level description of the exercises and a mean to measure how well they were done.

Utilization of the internet to deliver cardiac rehabilitation at a distance: a pilot study.
TL;DR: This Internet-based vCRP resulted in clinically significant improvements in risk factors and exercise capacity similar to that of a standard CRP, and high user acceptance indicated that this program may have the potential to effectively manage patients who do not have access to traditional hospital-based CRP.

Home versus hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation :A systematic review
TL;DR: Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation has positive effects on many cardiac risk factors (physical activity, smoking status, cholesterol, anxiety and depression) and can lead to improvements in mortality, morbidity and quality of life.
