A smartwatch is a wearable computer in the form of a watch; modern smartwatches provide a local touchscreen interface for daily use, while an associated smartphone app provides management and telemetry, such as long-term biomonitoring. While early models could perform basic tasks, such as calculations, digital time telling, translations, and game-playing, smartwatches released since 2015 have more general functionality closer to smartphones, including mobile apps, a mobile operating system and WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity. Some smartwatches function as portable media players, with FM radio and playback of digital audio and video files via a Bluetooth headset. Some models, called watch phones (or phone watches), have mobile cellular functionality such as making telephone calls. While internal hardware varies, most have an electronic visual display, either backlit LCD or OLED. Some use transflective or electronic paper, to consume less power. They are usually powered by a rechargeable

Live Demonstration: An IoT SmartWatch-based System for Intensive Care Monitoring

Sandro Carrara, Giovanni De Micheli, Eleonora Lavalle, Francesca Stradolini

Nowadays, wearable devices are largely spread in many fields and in wellness monitoring too. In this paper we propose a smartwatch-based IoT system to improve the monitoring efficacy of critical hospitalized patients. The medical doctor assigned to the unit can access patients’ information at any time and from any place by wearing a smartwatch. The bio- sensing platforms, which measure metabolites’ concentration in the patients, are wirelessly connected with a dedicated application running on the smartwatch. In case of anomalous measured values, incoming alert notifications are received to ask urgent medical intervention. In this way, the doctor, or in general the caregiver, can freely move in the hospital areas and perform several tasks in parallel without losing the monitoring of the patients under their responsibility.

Wearable devices, e.g. smart-watches, are gaining popularity in many fields and in wellness monitoring too. In this paper we propose an IoT application to alert the medical doctor assigned to a critical unit by using a smart-watch. The wearable device improves the efficacy of monitoring patients at risk in hospital units allowing the medical doctor to access information at any time and from any place. A network was built to wirelessly connect bio-sensing platforms, which measure metabolites concentration in patients’ fluids (e.g. blood), with a dedicated application running on the smart-watch. In case of anomalous measured values, incoming alert notifications are received to ask urgent medical intervention. The main advantage of this new approach is that the doctors, or in general the caregivers, can freely move in the hospital other structures and perform other tasks meanwhile simultaneously and constantly monitoring all the patients thanks to the technology on their wrist.

An IoT Solution for Online Monitoring of Anesthetics in Human Serum Based on an Integrated Fluidic Bioelectronic System

Sandro Carrara, Giovanni De Micheli, Danilo Demarchi, Zijian Huang, Tugba Kilic, Sofia Lydia Ntella, Francesca Stradolini, Nadia Tamburrano, Abuduwaili Tuoheti

In this paper, we present the design, the implementation and the validation of a novel Internet of Things (IoT) drug monitoring system for the online continuous and simultaneous detection of two main anesthetics, e.g., propofol and paracetamol, in undiluted human serum. The described full system consists of a custom-built electronic Raspberry Pi (RPi) based Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that drives and reads out the signal from an electrochemical sensing platform integrated into a fluidic system. Thanks to the Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluidic device, the analyzed sample is automatically fluxed on the sensing site. The IoT network is supported by a Cloud system, which allows the doctor to control and share all the patient’s data through a dedicated Android application and a smart watch. The validation closes with the first ever demonstration that our system successfully works for the simultaneous monitoring of propofol and paracetamol in undiluted human serum by measuring the concentration trends of these two drugs in fluxing conditions over time.
