title: Using ICT to Support Individual Guidance in Health Promotion Programs for Increased Physical Activity.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  We report on experiences in implementing a system to support the individual guidance of training in health promotion programs aiming to increase participants' regular level of physical activity.
  
  
  METHODS
  We used an iterative development approach considering data privacy and security aspects, followed by a phase of field testing and continuous further development.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Our preliminary results comprise identified clinically relevant parameters, suitable data collection methods, experienced privacy and security challenges and a glance on our developed prototype system.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We consider our results to be of interest for others doing related research. The most important requirements for a simple supporting system can be fulfilled with established solutions in the short run. A more adaptable and flexible system with an increased level of support in analysing the data, which we aim to achieve, leads to currently open research challenges.
