Smartwatch App to support Long Covid patients with their Activity Pacing

A treatment for people suffering from Long Covid is yet to materialize. The only approach that has proven to be effective is for patients to manage their symptoms.

In collaboration with Carlo Cervia-Hasler from the University Hospital Zurich, we developed an innovative smartwatch application and smartphone companion app that helps patients better manage their activities, and avoid overexertion and crashes. For that work, we were recently awarded with this year’s UZH Postdoc Team Award.

A recently published article on UZH News gives an overview over the collaboration, contributions and especially, the next steps in making the Activity Pacing app, MindfulPacer, available to the public.

People interested in collaborating or helping test & develop the platform can contact André Meyer.
