A Great Success: Second Phase of the Clinical Trials

On 23rd Februrary 2012, the second phase of the clinical trials ended succesfully. The second phase was dedicated to the evaluation of the digital fitness trainer for strength exercise monitoring. Over two weeks 30 participants between the ages of 60 and 86 tested and evaluated the digital fitness trainer. First results show that elderly users really benefit from guided training sessions. The participants appreciate the easy user interface, the automatic counting of their executions, and the feedback if they are not performing their exercise correctly. The oldest participant stated in his questionaire: "the system is easy to learn and use, thus he would use it again on a daily basis."
