Laboratory exercises:
During the laboratory exercises the students will work on a controled semestral project. Part of the exercise will always be a theoretical introduction to the issue. The result of this project will be a functional telemetry device applied to a remote home care lab. The individual steps of the project are:
• Design and telemetry devices using Arduino or similar development platforms to measure selected biological signals.
• Selection and implementation of analog circuits to measure selected biological signals (single-conduction ECG or plethysmography or body weight or EMG, or inertial sensors and body temperature, or other types of bioscientists).
• Digitalization of measured analog signals and transferring data to a personal computer using either USB or Ethernet.
• Design and implementation of communication protocol, creation of software for visualization of measured data in a personal computer.
• Implementation the chosen wireless technology (Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low energy, proprietary radio communication, Internet of Things).
• Implementation of developed measurement system into remote home care systems - initial testing in the remote home care lab.
• Practical tests with other measuring systems in a remote home care lab. Monitoring of the movement of people, work with remote home automation systems.
• Design and implementation of test schemes to verify the benefits of telemetry facilities in a remote home care lab.
