Abstract

This paper introduces an IoT wearable, specifically designed for the analysis of the physical activity of elderly people, in order to provide objective information to the healthcare staff to assess the frailty in these patients. The device, called FrailWear, is based on a STM32 low cost, low power and high-performance microcontroller. It is a multisensory system that includes an IMU and atmospheric pressure sensor for collecting data. In addition, it is possible to obtain the centimetric-accuracy position of the patient, if the infrastructure includes an external ultrasonic local positioning system. The wearable also includes a LoRaWAN based architecture, to communicate the system and the cloud, where the acquired data will be stored for a later analysis. Both physical activity and localization information are obtained, able to be analysed in real time or to be requested on demand by the carers. First test results of FrailWear are very promising and show its feasibility for this application.

frrailwear:一种用于老年患者日常活动监测的可穿戴物联网设备

本文介绍了一种物联网可穿戴设备，专门用于分析老年人的身体活动，为医护人员提供客观的信息来评估这些患者的虚弱程度。该设备名为frrailwear，基于STM32低成本、低功耗和高性能微控制器。它是一个多传感器系统，包括一个IMU和用于收集数据的大气压力传感器。此外，如果基础设施包括外部超声局部定位系统，则可以获得患者的厘米精度位置。可穿戴设备还包括一个基于LoRaWAN的架构，用于系统和云之间的通信，获取的数据将存储在云上，供以后分析使用。获得身体活动和定位信息，能够实时分析或根据护理人员的需要提出要求。FrailWear的初步测试结果非常有希望，并显示了其在该应用中的可行性。
