Intelligently integrating training devices from various manufacturers into a central data platform

With the new interface connection to aktiv konzepte, the Datico® LIFE HUB expands its capabilities for the structured transfer of training and performance data from modern therapy, rehabilitation, and training environments.

Via the aktivSYSTEM, training devices from various manufacturers can be integrated into digital training processes. The aktivSYSTEM is positioned by aktivKONZEPTE as a solution for training planning, training management, documentation, and patient guidance, and supports a paperless, efficient training workflow.

The connection is particularly relevant for physiotherapy practices, clinics, rehabilitation centres, therapy facilities, and performance diagnostics centres that do not wish to view training data in isolation but want to evaluate it in the context of further medical, therapeutic, and performance-related parameters.

Via the interface, selected training data and training results from the aktivSYSTEM can be transferred into the Datico® LIFE HUB. There, they are available together with further findings, diagnostic data, wearable data, questionnaire data, or results from connected medical and therapy systems.

Why the integration of aktivKONZEPTE is relevant for rehabilitation, therapy, and competitive sport

In many organizations, valuable data is generated today directly on the training floor: strength values, training volumes, device settings, repetitions, load profiles, training progress, or documented training results. This data is important for immediate training management but gains considerably more significance when it is consolidated with other parameters.

This is precisely where the integration between aktivSYSTEM and Datico® LIFE HUB comes in.

While the aktivSYSTEM supports the digitalization of the training floor and integrates training devices from various manufacturers into structured training and documentation processes, Datico® enables the central consolidation, normalization, and further analysis of this data within the higher-level health, therapy, or performance context. The aktivSYSTEM is the solution that digitalizes existing training devices and supports training planning as well as documentation.

This turns individual training data into a robust data foundation for:

  • progression analyses in rehabilitation
  • objective therapy documentation
  • indication-related evaluations
  • performance development in training
  • interdisciplinary case discussions
  • data-based decisions in clinics, therapy, and sport

Datico® LIFE HUB as a central platform for training, therapy, and diagnostic data

The Datico® LIFE HUB is designed to consolidate data from various sources within a central platform. These include, among others, medical devices, diagnostic systems, wearables, SmartForms, questionnaires, manual data entries, as well as external software solutions.

With the connection of aktivSystem, training data is now also available from a system that is used in particular in therapeutic and rehabilitative training environments. This is an important building block for organizations that do not merely wish to document individual measurement results but want to accompany the entire treatment, training, and performance process on a data basis.

In the Datico® LIFE HUB, this data can be viewed together with further information on the respective patient, subject, athlete, or client. As a result, training progressions can be analysed not only in isolation but related to further relevant parameters, for example:

  • clinical findings
  • functional assessments
  • performance diagnostics
  • cardiopulmonary parameters
  • subjective feedback
  • wearable data
  • questionnaire results
  • progression and control measurements

Compatibility with training devices from various manufacturers

A particular advantage of the aktivSYSTEM lies in the fact that it can be used with training devices from various manufacturers. Depending on the concrete system configuration, these include, among others, providers from the fields of strength training, endurance training, medical training, and therapeutic training.

Examples that can be named include:

  • SCHNELL
  • gym80
  • svg
  • emotion fitness
  • FREI
  • Dr. WOLFF
  • Matrix
  • Star Trac
  • Life Fitness
  • Stolzenberg
  • PHYSIOBUY
  • REINBOLD

This makes the interface suitable not only for homogeneous device fleets from a single manufacturer, but also for organizations with grown, heterogeneous training floors.

Particularly in clinics, rehabilitation centres, and therapy facilities, this is a decisive practical advantage, since devices from various manufacturers are frequently procured over the years and operated in parallel there.

The integration into the Datico® LIFE HUB creates a higher-level data layer in such scenarios: it is not the individual device manufacturer that is at the centre, but the structured availability of the relevant training data for analysis, documentation, and decision support.

From the training floor to the central health and performance data platform

The technical and practical significance of the interface lies above all in the fact that training data is extracted from the operational application and transferred into a higher-level data context.

This means: data generated during training does not remain exclusively in the training system but can be consolidated with further information in the Datico® LIFE HUB. This creates a considerably broader view of the patient, subject, or athlete.

An example from rehabilitation: A patient completes device-supported strength training. The aktivSYSTEM documents relevant training information. In the Datico® LIFE HUB, this training data can subsequently be viewed together with assessments, therapy progressions, measurement values from diagnostic systems, subjective questionnaire data, or further clinical parameters and, of course, transferred to downstream systems (HIS / patient record).

In this way, it becomes visible whether training progress correlates with functional improvements, load capacity, subjective well-being, or further target parameters.

An example from competitive sport: An athlete completes regular strength and endurance sessions on connected training devices. The results from the aktivSYSTEM can be combined in the Datico® LIFE HUB with performance diagnostics, wearable data, recovery parameters, or sport-specific test values.

This creates a well-founded basis for training management, load management, and performance monitoring.

Added value for physiotherapy, clinics, and rehabilitation centres

For physiotherapy practices, clinics, and rehabilitation centres, the integration offers above all a documentation- and quality-oriented added value. Training data can be made available in a more structured manner and integrated into overarching treatment and therapy concepts.

This supports in particular organizations that wish to digitalize their processes more strongly, document therapy progressions more objectively, and enable data-based decisions within the interdisciplinary team.

Typical advantages are:

  • central availability of training and therapy data
  • better traceability of training progress
  • structured progression documentation
  • combination with further clinical and functional parameters
  • support for interdisciplinary case discussions
  • basis for quality management and outcome-oriented evaluations
  • reduction of media discontinuities between training floor, therapy planning, and evaluation

Particularly in rehabilitation, it is decisive to capture progress not only selectively but to make it visible and assessable across the entire treatment progression. The combination of aktivSYSTEM and Datico® LIFE HUB can help to map this data chain considerably more consistently.

Added value for competitive sport and performance management

In competitive sport too, the interface offers relevant application possibilities. Training data from strength and endurance devices is an important component of a holistic performance assessment. Viewed in isolation, it delivers valuable individual information. In combination with further data sources, however, a considerably more comprehensive picture emerges.

The Datico® LIFE HUB enables the integration of such training data into a higher-level health and performance intelligence concept. This makes it possible to evaluate training load, performance development, recovery, functional tests, and further parameters within a shared data environment.

For performance-oriented organizations, this creates a central basis for:

  • load management
  • training monitoring
  • return-to-performance processes
  • rehabilitation support
  • objective progression analyses
  • interdisciplinary collaboration between medicine, athletics, therapy, and coaching

Technical classification of the interface

The integration between aktivKONZEPTE and Datico® LIFE HUB is geared towards transferring training data from the aktivSYSTEM in a structured manner and making it available for further processing in the Datico® LIFE HUB.

Depending on the project configuration, relevant data points, training information, and results can be defined, transferred, and assigned to the corresponding person records in the Datico® LIFE HUB. The focus is not solely on the pure data transfer, but also on the technical usability of the information.

Key aspects are:

  • structured transfer of relevant training data
  • assignment to patients, subjects, athletes, or clients
  • integration into existing Datico® data models
  • joint evaluation with further data sources
