Cover Story: Smart devices are present in every aspect of everyday life from smartphones, which are now like mini-computers, to systems for monitoring sleep or fatigue and specific sensors for the recording of vital parameters. A particular use of the latter is health monitoring. Through the use of such devices, several vital parameters can be acquired and automatically monitored, even remotely. VITAL-ECG is a smart device designed to monitor the most important vital parameters with a one-touch device, anywhere, and at low cost. It is a wearable device that, coupled with a mobile app, can track bio-parameters including electrocardiogram, SpO2, skin temperature, and physical activity of the patient. View this paper
