A case study: monitoring of elderly and infirm patients," in Proc. of the 2017 IEEE Workshop on Environmental, Energy, and Structural Monitoring Systems (EESMS), Milan, 24-25 July 2017, pp. 133-138
Abstract: In this paper, after briefly discussing the Internet of Things (IOT) and Cyber physical device main features, the application of wearable devices in this field was examined. The overcoming of constraints of this class of application are in the greatest interest of the researchers and enterprises for the possible use of it. The Apulia Region has issued a call for proposals for “Innonetwork sostegno alle attività di R&S per lo sviluppo di nuove tecnologie sostenibili, di nuovi prodotti e servizi” ” by requesting innovative projects in the field of medical monitoring. The paper focuses on the defining of some guidelines for a possible case study: the monitoring of elderly and infirm peoples also in the remote follow-up phase by means of wearable devices with sensor and internet connections. The issue of monitoring long-term care patients introduces an array of technical challenges in designing systems and algorithms
