“…On one hand, compared to other systems proposed by References [46,47,49,50] based on WSN, the iAQ+ provides several advantages in scalability and installation in indoor living environments as it is only necessary to configure the Wi-Fi Internet connection and it is not required to configure the sensor nodes and coordinators. On the other hand, compared to the other systems proposed by References [46,[50][51][52] which do not use mobile computing, the iAQ+ provides smartphone and Web compatibility for data access. The solution proposed by Reference [48] supports mobile access.…”

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is not only a determinant of occupational health but also influences all indoor human behaviours. In most university establishments, laboratories are also used as classrooms. On one hand, indoor environment quality (IEQ) conditions supervision in laboratories is relevant for experimental activities. On the other hand, it is also crucial to provide a healthy and productive workplace for learning activities. The proliferation of cost-effective sensors and microcontrollers along with the Internet of Things (IoT) architectures enhancements, enables the development of automatic solutions to supervise the Laboratory Environmental Conditions (LEC). This paper aims to present a real-time IEQ-laboratory data collection system-based IoT architecture named iAQ Plus (iAQ+). The iAQ+ incorporates an integrated Web management system along with a smartphone application to provide a historical analysis of the LEC. The iAQ+ collects IAQ index, temperature, relative humidity and barometric pressure. The results obtained are promising, representing a meaningful contribution for IEQ supervision solutions based on IoT. iAQ+ supports push notifications to alert people in a timely way for enhanced living environments and occupational health, as well as a work mode feature, so the user can configure setpoints for laboratory mode and schoolroom mode. Using the iAQ+, it is possible to provide an integrated management of data information of the spatio-temporal variations of LEC parameters which are particularly significant not only for enhanced living environments but also for laboratory experiments.

Mobile health research field aims to provide access to healthcare anytime and anywhere through mobile computing technologies while using a cost-effective approach. Mobile health is closely related to ambient assisted living as both research fields address independence in elderly adults. Aging has become a relevant challenge, as it is anticipated that 20% of world population will be aged 60 years and older in 2050. Most people spend more than 90% of their time indoors, therefore the indoor environmental quality has a relevant impact on occupant's health and well-being. We intended to provide real-time indoor quality monitoring for enhanced living environments and occupational health. This paper presents the AirPlus real-time indoor environmental quality monitoring system, which incorporates several advantages when compared to other systems, such as scalability, flexibility, modularity, easy installation, and configuration, as well as mobile computing software for data consulting and notifications. The results that were obtained are promising and present a significant contribution to the monitoring solutions available in the literature. AirPlus provides a rich dataset to plan interventions for enhanced indoor quality, but also to support clinical diagnostics and correlate occupant's health problems with their living environment conditions. Keywords: ambient assisted living; enhanced living environments; health monitoring; indoor air quality; indoor environmental quality; Internet of Things; mobile health; occupational health IntroductionMobile health (mHealth) is a multifaceted research field to deliver healthcare services anytime and anywhere through mobile computing technologies while using a cost-effective approach. The mHealth services and applications are enhanced personalized healthcare systems that improve the communication between patient and doctor [1]. The development of mobile computing solutions for health improvement and well-being has significantly increased in the recent past. There is relevant interest in the study and development of reliable solutions based on mobile computing for enhanced healthcare systems [2]. However, most people do not use mobile health applications, and the individuals that use them tend to stop using it in a short period of time. Therefore, the software developers need to study new pervasive and ubiquitous methods and architectures to better address the consumer needs in order to promote the adoption of these mobile applications for enhanced living environments [3]. The proliferation of computer processing power and the evolution of wireless communication technologies have promoted mHealth and lead to the development of solutions and technologies that substantially contribute to the evolution of clinical research and healthcare [4].It is anticipated that 20% of the world population will be aged 60 years and older in 2050 [5], which will cause a significant increase of health disorders, medical services costs, and caregivers demands. Furthermore, Ambient Assisted Living (AAL)...
