About the program

INTERNET OF THINGS:

  • IoT system for patient monitoring using smart wristband

6 ECTS

The topic of this course is building a system for remote monitoring and recording of basic patient’s health indicators. Monitored data includes body temperature, heart rate and location, but can be extended with additional sensors such as blood oxygen, detection of other patients nearby using BLE, etc.

The COVID-19 pandemic makes this topic very relevant because the application of such a system can be a valuable tool for monitoring of patients and self-isolated people, resulting in prevention of virus spread.

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the technologies, concepts, and architectures relevant for the design and implementation of modern IoT systems and to motivate them to actively participate in building a specific patient monitoring IoT system.

Students will learn the basics of embedded technologies – using and programming microcontrollers, interfacing and controlling peripheral devices such as digital and analog inputs, sensors and actuators. Relevant communication protocols and standards used in IoT solutions will be covered. You will also learn about the concept of edge devices for data aggregation and local processing and the concept of cloud services for data acquisition, visualization and machine learning. You will then implement a fully functional system using those elements.

TOPICS:

  • Introduction to IoT
  • Designing an IoT architecture
  • Introduction to basics of electronics and microcontrollers
  • Programming ESP32 using Arduino development environment
  • Using MQTT protocol on ESP32 microcontroller
  • Programming Raspberry Pi in Python
  • Using MQTT protocol on Raspberry Pi
  • Building REST API in Cloud for saving telemetry data in database
  • Building web interface for visualizing telemetry data in Cloud
  • Application of machine learning in temperature and heartrate trend forecasting and alarming

The knowledge you will acquire

LEARNING OUTCOMES
