Real-time Monitoring of Cardiovascular Functions Using Textile-Based Wearable Systems and Probabilistic Point-Process Modeling
Wearable systems and embedded sensors for physiological monitoring have been gaining large interest over the last decade in research and commercial fields. The key benefits introduced by these systems include their small size, lightness, low-power consumption and wearability. Major applications of such systems are related to medicine and healthcare allowing for out-patient care and enhancing the quality of life for chronic disease patients, and preventing unnecessary hospitalizations.
