Abstract

The article discusses various consumer wearable activity trackers like triaxial accelerometer, heart rate (HR) sensors and global positioning systems (GPS) that can monitor physical activity (PA) in adult patients with haemophilia. According to recommendations given by the World Health Organization (WHO), sufficient physical activity with an adequate adjustment of prophylaxis treatment decreases the risk of bleeding in haemophiliacs.
