HealthReact
Advanced mHealth Platform for Research and Healthcare
About
HealthReact is an advanced mHealth platform designed to support research and healthcare through real-time data collection and analysis. It combines a server-side system with a smartphone application, allowing researchers to manage event-based Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) surveys, trigger just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAI), and gather data from various sensors. HealthReact’s flexible structure integrates a wide range of data sources, which makes it a versatile tool for exploring diverse health-related topics such as physical activity and sedentary behaviors, dietary behaviors, cardiometabolic research, and neurodegenerative disease monitoring.
The HealthReact Team
With over a decade of experience, the HealthReact team has successfully executed national and international projects, showcasing a comprehensive understanding of the domain. The team collaborates with various academic and industry partners to expand the platform’s applications and maintain cutting-edge technology.
HealthReact’s team comprises experts in advanced statistical methods and AI-driven pattern recognition.
Richard Cimler, Ph.D.
Head of Center of Advanced Technology, specializing in sensor data evaluation and machine learning.
Jitka Kuhnova, Ph.D.
A leading expert in mHealth research, with extensive experience in remote diagnostics and intervention strategies.
Tomas Vetrovsky, M.D., Ph.D.
With a medical background and expertise in behavioral science, he specializes in applying Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to study the determinants of healthy ageing and to develop and evaluate mHealth interventions in healthcare settings.
Functions and Features
Data Integration
HealthReact gathers data from various sources, including wearable devices like activity trackers, glucometers, heart rate monitors, wearable air pollution sensors, scales, GPS location, and other personal-based information. The system can also integrate data from commercial devices like Fitbit, Oura Ring, and Apple Watch. (Garmin comming soon!)
Event-Based Surveys
The system can trigger surveys based on customizable rules, allowing for context-based Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) studies.
Dynamic Interaction
HealthReact sends questionnaires, SMS, and other prompts to participants based on real-time data and user-defined rules.
Real-Time Evaluation
HealthReact’s cloud-based processing enables real-time detection of anomalies and adaptive just-in-time interventions.
Comprehensive Reporting
Regular reports on study progress, detailed participant insights, and detected anomalies are generated for researchers and healthcare professionals.
Application
HealthReact has a wide range of applications, including:
Remote monitoring and evaluation of physical activity and sedentary behavior using wearables and other sensors.
Combining physiological data with participant-reported data to understand eating behaviors and their context.
Event-triggered just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAI) based on real-time data to promote desired behaviors and support patient engagement in various health-related scenarios.
Unobtrusive monitoring of people at risk of stroke at home, with AI methods for diagnosis and rehabilitation evaluation.
Detailed analysis of cardiovascular data, including heart rate variability (HRV), arrhythmias, and cardiac output.
Remote monitoring and evaluation of patients with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s.
