Smart Electrically Assisted Bicycles as Health Monitoring Systems: A Review

“…Higashi et al [47], Ueno et al [49] and De La Iglesia et al [65] included in their studies a range of people between the ages of 20 to 30. Kiryu and Minagawa [52], De La Iglesia et al [59] and Rey-Barth et al [69] extended their studies to people in their sixties. On average, the studies included at least two testers, with the exception of [47,52,65,69] which included more than 9 subjects and [59] which included almost 190.…”

On average, the studies included at least two testers, with the exception of [47,52,65,69] which included more than 9 subjects and [59] which included almost 190. The on-field tests were mostly comprised of flat and uphill segments, which had to be repeated multiple times while respecting specific test conditions such as keeping the same speed and/or cadence at all times.…”

“…The on-field tests were mostly comprised of flat and uphill segments, which had to be repeated multiple times while respecting specific test conditions such as keeping the same speed and/or cadence at all times. De La Iglesia et al [59,65], Rey-Barth et al [69] were the only ones that reported the duration of their studies, demonstrating the long-term impacts of these systems.…”

“…Uploading data in real-time to a server is mainly used to retrieve, process, and analyze data, providing feedback to users [53,59,60,64,65,69] and allowing the health professionals to potentially monitor their patients remotely and adjust the algorithm (i.e., surveillance thresholds, training workload).…”
