Objectives: In an era when telemedicine is becoming increasingly essential, the development and validation of miniaturized Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) devices for accurate and reliable body composition assessment is crucial. This study investigates the BIA Metadieta, a novel miniaturized BIA device, by comparing its performance with that of standard hospital BIA equipment across a diverse demographic. The aim is to enhance remote health monitoring by integrating compact and efficient technology into routine healthcare practices.

Widespread cognitive test screening as part of tele-public health initiatives necessitates a test that is self-administered online and automatically scored, with no clinician effort. The feasibility of unsupervised cognitive screening is unclear. We adapted the Self-Administered Tasks Uncovering Risk of Neurodegeneration (SATURN) to make it suitable for self-administration and automatic scoring.

In elderly chronic heart failure (HF) patients, activities of daily living (ADLs) require the use of a high proportion of patients' peak aerobic capacity, heart rate, and ventilation. To assess the effects of short-term comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on the metabolic requirement of ADLs in elderly patients with chronic HF. The study population comprised 99 elderly chronic HF patients (mean age 72 ± 5 years, 80% male, 61% ejection fraction <40%, mean NT-proBNP 2,559 ± 4,511 pg/ml) participating in a short-term (mean days 19 ± 7) residential CR program.

The accurate identification of initial and final foot contacts is a crucial prerequisite for obtaining a reliable estimation of spatio-temporal parameters of gait. Well-accepted gold standard techniques in this field are force platforms and instrumented walkways, which provide a direct measure of the foot-ground reaction forces. Nonetheless, these tools are expensive, non-portable and restrict the analysis to laboratory settings.
