Cover Story: This system is based on a distributed architecture, where physiological data of a person are collected by several sensors. Then, a Raspberry Pi joins the information and makes a standardization process. Next, these data are sent to the Cloud to be processed. Our Cloud system stores the received data and makes a data fusion process in order to indicate the athlete’s fatigue status at every moment. The eHealth system has been tested in collaboration with a small group of voluntary tri-athletes. View this paper
