Title: | Domiciliary Hospitalization through Wearable Biomonitoring Patches: Recent Advances, Technical Challenges, and the Relation to Covid-19 | Authors: | Silva, André F. Tavakoli, Mahmoud |
Keywords: | IoMT; Covid-19; wearable biomonitoring patches; stretchable circuit; fabrication; liquid metals | Issue Date: | 29-Nov-2020 | Publisher: | MDPI | Project: | This work was performed in collaboration with the project “Add.Additive” (Reference Nr. 59563), co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), through the “Programa Operacional Competitividade e Internacionalizacão” (POCI-01-0247-FEDER-024533), and “MATIS-Materiais e Tecnologias Industriais Sustentáveis” (ref.: CENTRO-01-0145-FEDER-000014), also co-financed by ERDF, through the “Programa Operacional Regional do Centro” (CENTRO2020). Funding also came from the CMU-Portugal projectWoW (45913), which had the support of European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Portuguese State through Portugal2020 and COMPETE 2020, and the project ”Dermotronics” (Reference: 31,784), funded by ”Fundos Europeus Estruturais e de Investimento” (FEEI), through the ”Programa Operacional Regional do Centro”. | Serial title, monograph or event: | Sensors (Switzerland) | Volume: | 20 | Issue: | 23 | Abstract: | This article reviews recent advances and existing challenges for the application of wearable bioelectronics for patient monitoring and domiciliary hospitalization. More specifically, we focus on technical challenges and solutions for the implementation of wearable and conformal bioelectronics for long-term patient biomonitoring and discuss their application on the Internet of medical things (IoMT). We first discuss the general architecture of IoMT systems for domiciliary hospitalization and the three layers of the system, including the sensing, communication, and application layers. In regard to the sensing layer, we focus on current trends, recent advances, and challenges in the implementation of stretchable patches. This includes fabrication strategies and solutions for energy storage and energy harvesting, such as printed batteries and supercapacitors. As a case study, we discuss the application of IoMT for domiciliary hospitalization of COVID 19 patients. This can be used as a strategy to reduce the pressure on the healthcare system, as it allows continuous patient monitoring and reduced physical presence in the hospital, and at the same time enables the collection of large data for posterior analysis. Finally, based on the previous works in the field, we recommend a conceptual IoMT design for wearable monitoring of COVID 19 patients. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/106726 | ISSN: | 1424-8220 | DOI: | 10.3390/s20236835 | Rights: | openAccess |
