This article presents a continuous home telemonitoring system for chronic respiratory patients using 5G connectivity developed in partnership with Vodafone as part of the Trial Milan established by Italian Ministry Economic Development. The features wearable and activity monitor, an environmental sensor pulse oximeter sending data through router to Multi-Edge Computing server, incorporated infrastructure, where they are stored accessible visualization. In particular, activity, continuously...

The measurement of partial pressures oxygen (O
Preoperative identification of high-risk groups has been extensively studied to improve patients’ outcomes. Wearable devices, which can track heart rate and physical activity data, are starting be evaluated for management. We hypothesized that commercial wearable devices (WD) may provide data associated with preoperative evaluation scales tests, identify patients poor functional capacity at increased risk complications. conducted a prospective observational study including seventy-year-old...
Background Preoperative assessment is crucial to prevent the risk of complications surgical operations and usually focused on functional capacity. The increasing availability wearable devices (smartwatches, trackers, rings, etc) can provide less intrusive methods, reduce costs, improve accuracy. Objective aim this study was present evaluate possibility using commercial smartwatch data, such as those retrieved from Fitbit Inspire 2 device, assess capacity before elective surgery correlate...
Breathing parameters change with activity and posture, but currently available solutions can perform measurements only during static conditions.This article presents an innovative wearable sensor system constituted by three inertial measurement units to simultaneously estimate respiratory rate (RR) in dynamic conditions human recognition (HAR) the same sensing principle. Two are aimed at detecting chest wall breathing-related movements (one on thorax, one abdomen); third is lower back. All...
This study presents a novel wearable solution integrating Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) sensors into knee sleeve to monitor flexion/extension (F/E) patterns during walking. POF offer advantages such as flexibility, light weight, and robustness electromagnetic interference, making them ideal for applications. However, when one integrates these sleeve, they exhibit non-linearities, including hysteresis mode coupling, which complicate signal interpretation. To address this issue, Long Short-Term...
This study focuses on the application of Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) to understand variability and correlation properties respiratory parameters time series obtained by means a wearable. Data from 18 healthy volunteers collected using Airgo™ band, which provides signals proportional thoracic circumference at sampling frequency 10 Hz. The primary aim was provide preliminary normative data for DFA scaling factors. applied 6-h recordings, revealing significant differences (p < 0.001)...
The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy Airgo™, a non-invasive wearable device that records breath, with respect gold standard. In 21 healthy subjects (10 males, 11 females), four parameters were recorded for min at rest and in different positions simultaneously by Airgo™ SensorMedics 2900 metabolic cart. Then, cardio-pulmonary exercise test was performed using Erg 800S cycle ergometer order Airgo™’s during physical effort. results reveal relative error median percentage respiratory...
Evaluation of arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO
Respiratory Rate (RR) can be detected with wearable devices, which used to monitor daily life activities continuously. Here we introduce a configuration that allows filter the respiratory signal based on activity level same sensor system. One healthy subject was recruited (age 55 yo., weight 80 kg, height 1.76 m, sex M). The protocol involved assessment of RR in four conditions: standing, walking, running slow, and fast. Data from gold standard (K5; COSMED, Rome, Italy) novel IMU-based...
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have been widely applied to various contexts, including high-stake decision processes in healthcare, banking, and judicial systems. Some developed AI models fail offer a fair output for specific minority groups, sparking comprehensive discussions about fairness. We argue that the development of is marked by central paradox: less participation one stakeholder has within system’s life cycle, more influence they over way system will function. This...
Wearable devices represent a non-invasive tool to monitor cardio-respiratory parameters. This paper presents telemedicine platform constituted of four wireless units. Three wearable inertial measurement units the respiratory-related excursions thorax and abdomen with respect reference unit (positioned on lower back), through which respiratory rate normalized tidal volume are extracted. The fourth is reflectance wrist-worn pulse oximeter. To validate system, 20 healthy volunteers (12 men)...
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teleconsultations (TCs) have become common practice for many chronic conditions, including osteoporosis. While satisfaction with TCs among patients increases in times of emergency, we little knowledge whether acceptability persists once in-person visits return being a feasible and safe option. In this study, assess across five dimensions osteoporosis care who started or continued after pandemic had waned. We then explore patient characteristics associated these...
<b>Background:</b> Personal air pollution exposure (PAPE) is the product of pollutant concentration and minute ventilation V9<sub>m</sub>.
