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 into lectures, laboratory exercises and self-evaluation activities.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam consists of two parts:
- a written exam lasting a maximum of two hours, containing a maximum of four questions, including open-ended questions and exercises.
- the completion of a laboratory project, followed by a related report, in which the student applies what was learned during the laboratory exercises to a case study.
Alternatively, students may complete a project related to their thesis.
There are no midterm exams. The exam is the same for both attending and non-attending students.
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 laboratory projects.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The written exam is passed with a grade of 18/30 or higher, leading to a maximum grade of 30/30. The laboratory project earns up to 4/30 points, which can be added to the written exam grade. Honors are awarded to those who achieve an overall score of 30 or higher.
