“…Telemonitoring is one of these systems which is integrated mostly in home or hospice settings to enable nurses to efficiently monitor patients, react to problems, and treat them before they propagate to more serious issues. Many researches proposed telemonitoring systems [109][110][111][112]; an example of these systems includes the work of [109], which uses mobile phones and NFC equipment to support AF monitoring. System feasibility, usability, and patient devotion have been tested in a clinical environment.…”

“…Similarly, in the work of Wang et al [111] a hybrid mobile-Cloud ECG telemonitoring method has been proposed to allow more effective personalized medical monitoring and convey processing to the Cloud whenever heavy processing is required and cannot be handled by mobile devices. Likewise, Benini et al [112] proposed a user-friendly single-lead ECG device designed for patients' use at home. The device requires few calibrations to be operated and it is able to send, transparently, the acquired ECG to the surveillance center through a Bluetooth connection and via an Internet gateway.…”

“…A number of research work addressed traditional ECG monitoring setups in various contexts such as hospitals [149][150][151], homes, or remote ambulatory settings [31,32,112,146,152]. Screening devices can be physically connected to processing devices [31,32,149,150], or wirelessly accessed [17,112,152,153]. Table 4.…”

Health monitoring and its related technologies is an attractive research area. The electrocardiogram (ECG) has always been a popular measurement scheme to assess and diagnose cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The number of ECG monitoring systems in the literature is expanding exponentially. Hence, it is very hard for researchers and healthcare experts to choose, compare, and evaluate systems that serve their needs and fulfill the monitoring requirements. This accentuates the need for a verified reference guiding the design, classification, and analysis of ECG monitoring systems, serving both researchers and professionals in the field. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive, expert-verified taxonomy of ECG monitoring systems and conduct an extensive, systematic review of the literature. This provides evidence-based support for critically understanding ECG monitoring systems’ components, contexts, features, and challenges. Hence, a generic architectural model for ECG monitoring systems is proposed, an extensive analysis of ECG monitoring systems’ value chain is conducted, and a thorough review of the relevant literature, classified against the experts’ taxonomy, is presented, highlighting challenges and current trends. Finally, we identify key challenges and emphasize the importance of smart monitoring systems that leverage new technologies, including deep learning, artificial intelligence (AI), Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT), to provide efficient, cost-aware, and fully connected monitoring systems.

“…By placing the hands on the paddles in different configurations, it was possible to compare the different qualities of the signal detected. In a previous work [17] we tested several different configurations, of which the four most interesting configurations are reported here:…”

“…A pacemaker detector section allows for pace pulses detection on a dedicated pin. All is Differently from [17], the newly developed single-lead ECG sensor can also be used as a stand-alone personal care device in connection with a smartphone or tablet acting as a storage and display unit (see Figure 12; the interface, in Italian in this specific example, can be regionalized according to the device language settings). Through the BT connection the acquired signal is transmitted to an Android OS-based terminal where a custom-developed app exploits the terminal processing and memory hardware resources to filter the signal in the digital domain, displays the ECG trace on the LCD screen, and allows us to build a repository of recorded ECG traces.…”

This paper presents a new remote healthcare model, which, exploiting wireless biomedical sensors, an embedded local unit (gateway) for sensor data acquisition-processing-communication, and a remote e-Health service center, can be scaled in different telemedicine scenarios. The aim is avoiding hospitalization cost and long waiting lists for patients affected by chronic illness who need continuous and long-term monitoring of some vital parameters. In the "1:1" scenario, the patient has a set of biomedical sensors and a gateway to exchange data and healthcare protocols with the remote service center. In the "1:N" scenario the use of gateway and sensors is managed by a professional caregiver, e.g., assigned by the Public Health System to a number N of different patients. In the "point of care" scenario the patient, instead of being hospitalized, can take the needed measurements at a specific health corner, which is then connected to the remote e-Health center. A mix of commercially available sensors and new custom-designed ones is presented. The new custom-designed sensors range from a single-lead electrocardiograph for easy measurements taken by the patients at their home, to a multi-channel biomedical integrated circuit for acquisition of multi-channel bio signals, to a new motion sensor for patient posture estimation and fall detection. Experimental trials in real-world telemedicine applications assess the proposed system in terms of easy usability from patients, specialist and family doctors, and caregivers, in terms of scalability in different scenarios, and in terms of suitability for implementation of needed care plans.

The increasing diffusion of chronic diseases represents a challenge for the health systems that have to deal with rising costs caused by the large number of patients. The ICT-enabled telemedicine systems represent a promising solution to provide effective treatments, to reduce hospitalizations and related costs and to improve the patients' quality of life. These systems allow to monitor the clinical status of the patients through self-measured vital signs. The electrocardiogram (ECG) represents one of the most practiced clinical exams in the treatment of chronic patients, but ECG devices currently known for medical purpose are difficult to be used by non-skilled persons, and they are definitively not suitable for such telemedicine systems. This paper introduces a user-friendly and ergonomic device conceived to be used autonomously by the patient to record high quality ECGs. The device acquires the first lead of the ECG from the patient's hands exploiting dry metal electrodes. The device requires few basic actions to be operated and can transmit collected data via Bluetooth connectivity. The developed dedicated API makes also possible an easy integration of the device into telemedicine systems
