Abstract
Telemonitoring and long-term assistance allows to constantly monitor chronic patients under treatment and to reduce healthcare costs. This work describes different wearable devices able to work simultaneously and synchronously and to remotely check parameters useful to prevent complications. The described system allows to detect cardiac, vascular and respiratory complications thanks to the use of inertial sensors, pressure sensors, single-lead ECG, pulse-oximeter and temperature sensors. The devices are able to transmit the collected data to a single database and to provide physicians with the processed information, who can thus administer the appropriate therapies. Furthermore, it is possible to monitor the rehabilitation activities performed by the patients and to assess whether corrective measures are necessary.
