Learning objectives

The course aims to provide technical knowledge on the components underlying remote monitoring and control applications for prevention, coaching, treatment and rehabilitation. At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate the ability to understand the problems of miniaturization, robustness, energy consumption and reliability at the basis of human-centered monitoring and control applications and the ability to apply the knowledge related to personal area networks and wearable devices. The students will also have to demonstrate that they have the necessary skills to continue their studies independently in the field of personal area networks and wearable devices.

Didactic methods

Teaching will be organized in lectures, exercises and self-assessment activities.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam consists of a written test containing questions and exercises.
It is also possible, but not mandatory, to carry out:
- the presentation of an in-depth study in the field of sensor networks and wearable devices;
- the development of a web/mobile application based on sensor networks and wearable devices; - the configuration and analysis of a simulator for sensor networks and smart objects.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

To pass the exam, students must demonstrate they:
- Understand the principles underlying the architecture and operation of a sensor network, the related communication protocols, and the main types of wearable devices necessary for the development of remote monitoring and control systems for humans and objects.
- Are able to present their knowledge in a precise and organic way without digressions.
- Knowing how to apply the acquired knowledge to solve application problems presented in the form of exercises, questions and projects.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The written test is passed with a grade greater than or equal to 18/30 and allows you to obtain a maximum grade of 30/30.
The optional part allows you to obtain up to 4/30 points to be added to the score of the written test.
