INTERNET OF HEALTHCARE THINGS MOD. 2: The Internet of things is the network of physical objects that contain embedded technology to communicate, sense, and interact with their internal state or an external environment. The term "Internet of things" reflects the growing number of smart, connected products and highlights the new opportunities they can represent in the health sector, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The teaching unit aims to provide students with both theoretical and practical skills to design, implement, and integrate wearable devices with IoT platforms for health monitoring and diagnostics. This teaching unit consists of two modules: Wearable Devices for Biomedical Applications (module 1) and the Internet of Things for Healthcare (module 2). The first module aims to introduce the principles underlying the design and development of wearable devices for biomedical applications, with a focus on sensors, actuators, and microcontroller programming for monitoring physiological functions. The second unit aims to students with the basics of developing applications for the Internet of Medical Things, with a focus on server-side software development frameworks, data transmission protocols, both traditional (UDP, TCP, HTTPS) and IoT-oriented (CoAP and MQTT), and IoT platforms, both open source and proprietary. PREREQUISITES INTERNET OF HEALTHCARE THINGS MOD. 2: Good knowledge of programming languages like C, basics of operating systems and networkin TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD GIORGIO DELZANNO Ricevimento: Appointment by email DAVIDE ANCONA Ricevimento: On demand, upon explicit requests by email or Teams VITTORIO SANGUINETI Ricevimento: VITTORIO SANGUINETI.

Working in teams, students will be required to design, develop, and demonstrate a wearable device for monitoring some form of motor/perceptual/cognitive performance of the user, with internet connectivity. ASSESSMENT METHODS The work will involve two phases with different deadlines: 1. Project idea development. Teams will prepare a short public presentation (elevator pitch) of their project idea, identifying target users, main functions (mid-December) 2. Submission of the project with presentation and demonstration of the working device (mid-February) Assessment will be based on originality, functionality, and ease of use.
