Exercise Evaluation and Recovery Therapy(EXERT)

Abstract Eden MedicalIncis pleased to submit this PhaseSBIR proposal to develop the Exercise Evaluation and Recovery TherapyEXERTsystema mobile healthmHealthsolution for assessing exercise impairment of adult peripheral vascular diseasePVDpatients and increasing their exercise capacityOvertaxing during exercise could be highly dependent on muscle oxidative capacity and muscle deoxygenationWhile this capacity could be improved by exercise interventionit is essential to assess the capacity of the participant to avoid overtaxing and thus disengagement in continue exerciseThe EXERT system affords a wearable Bluetooth enabled near infrared spectroscopyNIRSsystem to quantify skeletal muscle deoxygenation levels to assess muscle oxidative recovery between exercise sessions and avoid overtaxing participant during exerciseThe EXERT will incorporate a recovery strategy to inform exercise trainer on capacity level of the patient and personalized exercise program to avoid overtaxing the patients and thus motivate them to engage in regular exercise to reverse the impairment Narrative Adults with peripheral arterial diseasePADhave an exercise impairment but the incorporation of exercise therapy can reverse the impairment providing recovery through exercise dosage prescriptions
