“…Giovanelli et al [14] proposed a data streaming design that adds a service composed of two specific characteristics, one for regular data exchanges and the other is used to control the data stream from the central side, enabling it when set to 1 and disabling it when set to 0. In this case, the central device will only need to check the payload from second characteristic to decide whether or not to receive the next regular incoming data packet, thus narrowing the gap between each packet transmission.…”

As an emerging technology with exceptional low energy consumption and low-latency data transmissions, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has gained significant momentum in various application domains, such as Indoor Positioning, Home Automation, and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) communications. With various novel protocol stack features, BLE is finding use on resource-constrained sensor nodes as well as more powerful gateway devices. Particularly proximity detection using BLE beacons has been a popular usage scenario ever since the release of Bluetooth 4.0, primarily due to the beacons' energy efficiency and ease of deployment. However, with the rapid rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), BLE is likely to be a significant component in many other applications with widely varying performance and Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements and there is a need for a consolidated view of the role that BLE will play in applications beyond beaconing. This paper comprehensively surveys state-of-the-art applications built with BLE, obstacles to adoption of BLE in new application areas, and current solutions from academia and industry that further expand the capabilities of BLE.

“…While Bluetooth (BT) is widely used for data transfer, the sheer amount of raw data transmitted during an EEG recording makes this protocol quite power hungry, especially for systems with a large number of electrodes (e.g., 64). Alternative more energy efficient protocols can be considered, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), even if at the price of lower throughputs and higher latency, therefore not always adequate for physiological data streaming [43] [44]. However, the use of a powerful and energy efficient processor into the system enables processing of data before transmission and consequent bandwidth reduction.…”

EEG is a standard non-invasive technique used in neural disease diagnostics and neurosciences. Frequency-tagging is an increasingly popular experimental paradigm that efficiently tests brain function by measuring EEG responses to periodic stimulation. Recently, frequency-tagging paradigms have proven successful with low stimulation frequencies (0.5-6Hz), but the EEG signal is intrinsically noisy in this frequency range, requiring heavy signal processing and significant human intervention for response estimation. This limits the possibility to process the EEG on resource-constrained systems and to design smart EEG based devices for automated diagnostic. We propose an algorithm for artifact removal and automated detection of frequency tagging responses in a wide range of stimulation frequencies, which we test on a visual stimulation protocol. The algorithm is rooted on machine learning based pattern recognition techniques and it is tailored for a new generation parallel ultra low power processing platform (PULP), reaching performance of more that 90% accuracy in the frequency detection even for very low stimulation frequencies (<1Hz) with a power budget of 56mW.

“…Las aplicaciones de U-Health pueden tener un gran potencial en los sectores de la salud pública y la educación, debido al uso generalizado de teléfonos inteligentes. (Liu, Zhu, Holroyd, & Seng, 2011) En este contexto, Giovanelli, Milosevic & Farella (2015) manifiestan que el desarrollo de U-Health depende en gran medida del avance en las comunicaciones inalámbricas y teléfonos inteligentes y lo que ha permitido el uso de Bluetooth como protocolo inalámbrico de corto alcance en aplicaciones de U-Health. El lanzamiento en el 2010 de la versión Bluetooth 4.0, la cual se conoce también como BLE (Bluetooth de Baja Energía) definido en Bluetooth, S. I. G (2010), ha permitido ampliar el rango de uso de este protocolo inalámbrico en las aplicaciones de U-Health.…”

“…BLE se orienta para aplicaciones que requieren bajo costo, corto alcance, baja tasa de transmisión y sobre todo bajo consumo de potencia (Giovanelli, Milosevic, y Farella, 2015). Según los resultados publicados por Shetty, Prasad, y Nalini (2015), el tiempo de operación de BLE es 220 veces mayor que el Bluetooth clásico.…”

ResumenEn este trabajo se presenta el desarrollo e implementación de un monitor cardiaco capaz de cumplir con características de portabilidad, facilidad de uso y tiempo prolongado de operación. El diseño se divide en dos fases. En la primera, cada etapa del monitor cardiaco se implementa priorizando su consumo individual de energía. En la segunda fase, se integran las etapas para conformar el monitor cardiaco, constituido por una fuente de alimentación, una interfaz con el paciente, un micro controlador, una interfaz inalámbrica y una aplicación que se ejecuta en un teléfono inteligente. Para cumplir con las dos fases de diseño se exponen inicialmente los fundamentos teóricos y el desarrollo actual de la monitorización cardiaca. Posteriormente, para cada etapa se describen los requerimientos funcionales y las variables relevantes para su diseño. También se detallan los procesos de implementación y los procedimientos de prueba y sus resultados. Con esta investigación se pretende contribuir con una alternativa de diseño de un monitor cardiaco, que puede utilizarse por un periodo no menor a 30 días. Los resultados demostraron que el equipo desarrollado permite la monitorización cardiaca remota, facilita la movilidad de pacientes y además elimina la necesidad además elimina la necesidad de continuas recargas de energía.Palabras Clave: interfaz inalámbrica; monitor cardiaco; teléfono inteligente. AbstractThis paper describes the development and implementation of a heart monitor capable of meeting portability features, easy to use and a prolonged time of operation. The design is divided into two phases. In the first, each stage of the cardiac monitor is implemented prioritizing their individual energy consumption. In the second phase, the stages are integrated to form the cardiac monitor, consisting of a power supply, an interface with the patient, a micro controller, a wireless interface and an application running on a smartphone. To fulfill the two design phases are initially exposed the theoretical foundations and the current development of cardiac monitoring. Subsequently, for each stage, the functional requirements are described and the relevant variables for the design. Also, implementation processes and test procedures and results are detailed. This research is intended to contribute to an alternative design of a heart monitor, which can be used for not less than 30 days period. The results showed that the equipment developed allows remote cardiac monitoring, facilitates the mobility of patients and also eliminates the need for continuous energy refills.
