HOPITAL DE LA TOUR/GENEVE
The Hospital de la Tour in Geneva is engaged in sports medicine. Our partners are focusing on monitoring athletes training load which is essential for determining whether they are adapting to their training program, understanding individual responses to training, assessing fatigue and the associated need for recovery, minimizing the risk of overtraining, injury, and illness. By doing so, training monitoring could also aim to enhance athletic performance. We provide an innovative monitoring system using an AI approach of several training and recovery parameters to produce meaningful and actionable information to coaches and athletes.
Stressors and stress measures
Real, symbolic, or imagined stimuli perceived as threatening by a person represent a stressor.
In the human species, proximity of other nonspecific can be either soothing or a major stressor depending on the context and the individuals involved.
Many factors constitute a major stressor for the elderly, especially those with cognitive impairment, when they are admitted to or stay in a hospital or nursing home.
Thus, adequate measures against stressors are paramount as a first step to reduce the negative influences of psychological stress to health.
Continuous psychological stress monitoring in daily life is important. There are two conventional methods to measure psychological stress: self-report and body fluid analysis.
The self-report method is hard put to monitor human stress consistently due to the lack of standards for stress status. The body fluid analysis is invasive and cannot measure stress continuously.
