No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is the evaluation of differences in heart rate variability (both time- and frequency-domain) \[a\]: between frail and non-frail patients and \[b\] at the beginning and end of a geriatric therapy which included rehabilitation components. Moreover, the suitability of new camera-based technology with regard to measurement of vital signs (heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate) will be evaluated.
