Wearable Medical Device for Remote Monitoring the Health of Elderly People at Home.

The design, fabrication and testing of a wearable medical device for remote monitoring the health of elderly people at home are presented in this paper. The proposed wearable medical device comprises a wide range of sensors, innovative sensor fusion algorithms and flexible electrodes that make possible to continuously run analyses such as hydration assessment, stress assessment, body temperature assessment, fall detection and heart monitoring. In-vivo measurement results showed the excellent performance of this wearable medical device in real-life scenarios.
