Monitoring chronic disease at home using connected devices

Abstract

The research purpose is to study the impact’s use of connected devices on cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, we will explain our experimental methodology as well as the first outcomes. Three connected objects are being used for this experiment: a heart rate monitor belt, a tensiometer and a smartwatch. This communication intends to explain the methodology and the procedure that are being used to conduct this project. Our main objective is to monitor participants during their daily routine life, to record and to collect data continuously. This health care monitoring is a case of study of system of systems engineering within it we manage interactions between three aspects: humans, environment and sensors. The idea, then, is to study the different relations and correlations existing between variables coming from those aspects. An important part, of this work, takes into consideration the participant’s emotional aspect (stress, happiness, sadness, among) and analyse that using the appropriate artificial intelligence tools. Being able to detect participant’s emotion, categorize it and analyse its impact on cardiovascular disease, is the main goal of this work.
