“…In [21] a bulky device is proposed to monitoring the calorie balance using a PDA, the resulting system is quite invasive and users can be unmotivated to adopt it. Several other solutions have been proposed to monitor the heart rate in a non-invasive way with a wearable ECG system [4] or a ring sensor [5]. Another interesting system is to use the camera to monitoring the heartbeat [22], but in this case the user should remember to measure it regularly and the system would not have a constant data stream.…”

Background: People gain weight when assume more calories than their body can consume. Instead, they lose weight when they consume more than what they eat. Comparing the body to a closed system, we can call calorie balance the difference between the input and output calories. However, keep a balanced diet regime is never a rewarding activity and often people give up. Objectives: The goal is to help subjects with overweight problems: educate these people reduces the number of people that might migrate in the obese class. We propose an application to encourage healthier lifestyles, whose innovative feature is an automatic adaptive monitoring of the daily calorie balance. The system uses a familiar device and motivates the users to reach best result with the diet. Methods: The energy consumption is related to the oxygen consumption, obviously also if combined with physical activity.The heart rate is directly related to the supply of oxygen. Using this simple relation, the heartbeats are bound to the calorie consumption. Results: People achieve a greater awareness about food dosage and its calories weight. Moreover the application allows a more careful choice in food selection in order to not vanish the efforts made to change the lifestyles. Conclusions: We have obtained good result with off-theshelf hardware and user friendly software solutions. The users consider the system like a game where they have to keep higher the burned calories level. A motivational application has been found to be a winning card to promote healthier lifestyles, without intimidating the user.

“…Therefore several research projects currently focus on improving sensing methods and develop promising tools that can be integrated in future embedded devices, for example the use of flexible capacitive electrodes [10] to minimize motion artefacts, which also avoid skin irritation issues associated with the adhesive of disposable electrodes or the large impedance mismatches encountered when using dry electrodes. Other projects address the challenge of reducing the energy consumption of critical parts of the devices, for example through the use of an integrated, ultra-low power and robust analog front-end for ECG measurement [11] [12]. On the other hand, several research projects since the early 2000's have attempted to develop WBANs for health monitoring; mostly focusing on the development of an infrastructure optimized for reducing power consumption while increasing the reliability of the communication between sensors and remote devices, and also on data security (for complete reviews between 2009 and 2013 see for example [13]- [16], and more recently [17], [18] in 2014 and 2015).…”

This paper presents the development of a wireless wearable sensor for the continuous, long-term monitoring of cardiac activity. Heart rate assessment, as well as heart rate variability parameters are computed in real time directly on the sensor, thus only a few parameters are sent via wireless communication for power saving. Hardware and software methods for heart beat detection and variability calculation are described and preliminary tests for the evaluation of the sensor are presented. With an autonomy of 48 hours of active measurement and a Bluetooth Low Energy radio technology, this sensor will form a part of a wireless body network for the remote mobile monitoring of vital signals in clinical applications requiring automated collection of health data from multiple patients.
