“…UHF RFID is a scalable technology that offers moderate operation distances using compact transponders [13]. RFID antennas can now be mass-manufactured in any shape and material, including plastics, paper, washable e-textiles [108], [120], and elastomers, so that they can be integrated within medical-grade tapes and bandages [121], or directly attached to the human skin. Measurements of physiological parameters such as temperature, pressure, and moisture are now feasible with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) tags.…”

This paper presents a holistic and authoritative review of the role of microwave technologies in enabling a new generation of wearable devices. A human-centric Internet of Things (IoT) covering remote healthcare, distributed sensing, and consumer electronics, calls for high-performance wearable devices integrated into clothing, which require interdisciplinary research efforts to emerge. Microwaves, the "interconnect" of wireless networks, can enable, rather than solely connect, the next generation of autonomous, sustainable, and wearable-friendly electronics. First, enabling technologies including wireless power transmission and RF energy harvesting, backscattering and passive communication, RFID, and electromagnetic sensing are reviewed. We then discuss the key integration platforms, covering smart fabrics and electronic textiles, additive manufacturing, printed electronics, natively-flexible and organic RF semiconductors, and fully-integrated CMOS systems, where opportunities for hybrid integration are highlighted.

A Comprehensive Study on Next-Generation Electromagnetics Devices and Techniques for Internet of Everything (IoE)

Evolution of mobile broadband is ensured by adopting a unified and more capable radio interface (RI). For ubiquitous connectivity among a wide variety of wireless applications, the RI enables the adoption of an adaptive bandwidth with high spectrum flexibility. To this end, the modern-day communication system needs to cater to extremely high bandwidth, starting from below 1 GHz to 100 GHz, based on different deployments. This instigates the creation of a platform called the Internet of Everything (IoE), which is based on the concept of all-round connectivity involving humans to different objects or things via sensors. In simple words, IoE is the intelligent connection of people, processes, data, and things. To enable seamless connectivity, IoE resorts to low-cost, compact, and flexible broadband antennas, RFID-based sensors, wearable electromagnetic (EM) structures, circuits, wireless body area networks (WBAN), and the integration of these complex elements and systems. IoE needs to ensure broader information dissemination via simultaneous transmission of data to multiple users through separate beams and to that end, it takes advantage of metamaterials. The precise geometry and arrangement of metamaterials enable smart properties capable of manipulating EM waves and essentially enable the metamaterial devices to be controlled independently to achieve desirable EM characteristics, such as the direction of propagation and reflection. This review paper presents a comprehensive study on next-generation EM devices and techniques, such as antennas and circuits for wearable and sub 6 GHz 5G applications, WBAN, wireless power transfer (WPT), the direction of arrival (DoA) of propagating waves, RFID based sensors for biomedical and healthcare applications, new techniques of metamaterials as well as transformation optics (TO) and its applications in designing complex media and arbitrary geometry conformal antennas and optical devices that will enable future IoE applications.

“…As an example of physical sensors, temperature sensing allows for monitoring, directly and indirectly, a number of biological conditions and psycho-physical parameters, such as skin temperature [25], breath rate [26], and inflammatory events [27]. Information for recognizing the behaviour of the patient or the medical staff can be obtained by knowing the reader's location and simply controlling when and where the tags are read [14], [28] or, in a finer way, by feeding machine learning algorithms with the RSSI (received signal strength indicator) and phase recorded from the tags' responses [13].…”

Points-of-care (PoCs) augment healthcare systems by performing care whenever needed and are becoming increasingly crucial for the well-being of the worldwide population. Personalized medicine, chronic illness management, and cost reduction can be achieved thanks to the widespread adoption of PoCs. Significant incentives for PoCs deployment are nowadays given by wearable devices and, in particular, by RFID (RadioFrequency IDentification) and NFC (Near Field Communications), which are rising among the technological cornerstones of the healthcare internet of things (H-IoT). To fully exploit recent technological advancements, this paper proposes a system architecture for RFID-and NFC-based PoCs. The architecture comprises in a unitary framework both interfaces to benefit from their complementary features, and gathered data are shared with medical experts through secure and user-friendly interfaces that implement the Fast Health Interoperability Resource (FHIR) emerging healthcare standard. The selection of the optimal UHF and NFC components is discussed concerning the employable sensing techniques. The secure transmission of sensitive medical data is addressed by developing a user-friendly "PoC App" that is the first web app exploiting attribute-based encryption (ABE). An application example of the system for monitoring the pH and cortisol levels in sweat is implemented and preliminarily tested by a healthy volunteer.
