Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The demographic change in modern societies has a significant impact on the future planning of self-determined mobility and mobility means. An optimized accessibility of the means of transportation is required, as well as their connection towards buildings and residences. These connections have to be modular and compatible to the mobility means of the users. Barrier-free accessibility according to the existing norms can address these problems only partially. Broader and holistic concepts are needed here. The project PASSAge aims at the implementation of seamless mobility chains that smoothly connect private, semi-public and public space. Mobility shall be ensured by the extension of existing mobility means with user-oriented components. The project follows the approach to complement the barrier-free access and usage of public transportation with mostly electrically powered compact vehicles and micro vehicles. These have to be adopted by physical means and information technology means to residences and building structures. The goal is to develop a flexible socio-technical infrastructure with a multitude of mobility means and modular building, thus creating synergy effects. Core to this approach is the development of business models, which allow for and ensure the allocation and co-ordination of mobility services. Interfaces will be created for all compact vehicles and micro vehicles that extend their functionality both digitally and physically and thereby enable their ubiquitous connection to the envisioned services.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article provides an overview of the recommendations from the Sports Cardiology section of the European Association of Preventive Cardiology on sports participation in individuals with valvular heart disease (VHD). The aim of these recommendations is to encourage regular physical activity including sports participation, with reasonable precaution to ensure a high level of safety for all affected individuals. Valvular heart disease is usually an age-related degenerative process, predominantly affecting individuals in their fifth decade and onwards. However, there is an increasing group of younger individuals with valvular defects. The diagnosis of cardiac disorders during routine cardiac examination often raises questions about on-going participation in competitive sport with a high dynamic or static component and the level of permissible physical effort during recreational exercise. Although the natural history of several valvular diseases has been reported in the general population, little is known about the potential influence of chronic intensive physical activity on valve function, left ventricular remodelling pulmonary artery pressure, and risk of arrhythmia. Due to the sparsity of data on the effects of exercise on VHD, the present document is largely based on clinical experience and expert opinion.
