Popis: Cerebrovascular diseases like atherosclerosis pose a great threat to health and wellbeing of people worldwide. To enable early diagnosis and treatment of a gradually progressing occlusion of the carotid arteries, we propose the BODYTUNE system. Consisting of a custom-built auscultation device and a mobile application, it aims at enabling the monitoring of the blood flow within the carotid arteries on a regular basis at home. In this work, we present the results of a survey with 65 participants from the system target group to investigate aspects like technical affinity and experience with comparable systems. These results provide the basis on how the BODYTUNE system should be designed to be user-centered, concerns.
