Abstract
A device for detecting and evaluating movements of a user comprises a processing unit, a data memory, a sensor unit with at least one biometric sensor, and a fastening device for fastening the sensor unit on an arm of the user. The processing unit is configured to detect movement data from movement signals generated by the sensor unit and to store the movement data in the data memory. The device further comprises an evaluation module with which secondary movement data, which represent passive arm movements of the user, are filterable out of the movement data. The device enables the detection and evaluation of movements of an arm of the user in an efficient way.
