OVERVIEW

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

This course aims to unit covers technologies, protocols, architectures, and platforms for the development of distributed and mobile applications for the Internet of Medical Things, including machine to machine protocols, distributed algorithms for fault tolerance and replication, service oriented architectures platforms, embedded operating systems, real time and streaming data, geolocation, and collaborative framework.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

To introduce students to the main concepts of the Internet of Things from edge computing to IoT protocols and platforms with a particular attention to applications in the health sector (interconnected networks of medical devices, dashboard and cloud services, etc). To let students acquire knowledge and practical skills in developing IoT solutions via a series of practical assignments based on programming languages and tools for developing middleware and network services such as Node.js and Node-red. To let students test their acquired knowledge and skills on case-studies inspired to real scenarios proposed during the course. 

PREREQUISITES

Good knowledge of programming languages like C, basics of operating systems and networkin

TEACHING METHODS

Frontal lectures, lab activities and project work
