“…However, additional sensors and actuators for the health-monitoring devices should be added as long as the added functions are useful to monitor the human condition. Examples include cuff-less blood pressure monitoring [40,41,42], noninvasive glucose sensors [43,44], electrophysiological signal sensors [45,46], and signal processing circuits [47,48]. To realize these sensors and circuits, many researchers and engineers have devoted much effort.…”

Abstract. Recent progress of flexible and wearable health-monitoring devices is introduced by showing examples of flexible sensor components (e.g., strain sensors for heartbeat monitoring and temperature sensors) with an emphasis on printing techniques using inorganic materials to form flexible sensor components on flexible substrates for high performance and low-cost flexible electronics. Printing methods create flexible sensors, which are the next class of economical and disposable wearable health-monitoring devices that will allow people to use these devices without awareness similar to a bandage and a sanitary environment. For commercial applications, flexible sensor devices need to be further developed and signal processing circuits must be integrated on flexible substrates. However, the concept may significantly contribute to comfortable, convenient, secure, and healthy human lives. Periodic health condition monitoring using flexible and wearable health-monitoring devices should allow data to be gathered for medical purposes and even predict illness prior to the onset of symptoms.

“…Other two portable monitoring devices, i.e., the glucometer and the oxygen in the blood, may extend the blood pressure and respiratory sensors taken into account in the papers. Due to the reduced dimensions and costs with respect to the ones available in literature, e.g., (Islam M., 2012), all the mentioned sensors are easily portable from a location to another in the house, whereas other wearable sensors could be added as illustrated in (Pino C., 2014) to monitor the patient while moving at home.…”

In recent decades, people, especially the older ones, try to live at home in autonomous way. For this purpose it is useful to monitor their vital signs and the environment that surrounds them with the aim of activating suitable environment regulation and when needed to send alarms to family members, medical, or hospitals, according to the criticality of the subject. The paper aims at proposing a flexible and reliable monitoring system based on Arduino shields. The main feature of the system is that it allows the doctor and family members to monitor the patients at distance using their mobiles. A suitable communication with the first aid center is foreseen for a fast rescue of the patients in case of critical situations. The general user model ontology is used so that the personal data featuring the patients and the relevant context may be used by any diagnostic and first aid software, thus envisaging an open and interoperable health monitoring system for elderly people living at home.

“…It has the advantages of noninvasive measurement which requires less professional skills. Therefore, the oscillometric method is suitable for daily health monitoring [ 13 , 14 ] and long-term measurements [ 15 , 16 ]. Practically, the user may place a sphygmomanometer cuff around the upper arm.…”

This paper presents an oscillometric blood pressure (BP) measurement approach based on the active control schemes of cuff pressure. Compared with conventional electronic BP instruments, the novelty of the proposed BP measurement approach is to utilize a variable volume chamber which actively and stably alters the cuff pressure during inflating or deflating cycles. The variable volume chamber is operated with a closed-loop pressure control scheme, and it is activated by controlling the piston position of a single-acting cylinder driven by a screw motor. Therefore, the variable volume chamber could significantly eliminate the air turbulence disturbance during the air injection stage when compared to an air pump mechanism. Furthermore, the proposed active BP measurement approach is capable of measuring BP characteristics, including systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), during the inflating cycle. Two modes of air injection measurement (AIM) and accurate dual-way measurement (ADM) were proposed. According to the healthy subject experiment results, AIM reduced 34.21% and ADM reduced 15.78% of the measurement time when compared to a commercial BP monitor. Furthermore, the ADM performed much consistently (i.e., less standard deviation) in the measurements when compared to a commercial BP monitor.
