Wearable Sensors and Unobtrusive Technologies for Workers Safety
Abstract
Wearable and unobtrusive monitoring systems are rapidly evolving and used in the biomedical field, from patient vital signs monitoring, to exercise activity tracking and to improve the workers safety. With the emerging of miniaturized and cost-effective sensors, contact-based and contact-less vital sign sensing is enabling a wide range of potential applications for stress prediction of workers and their safety. This talk will cover some recent technological development in this field and discuss some significant challenges that need to be addressed.
Short Biography
Dr. Carlo Massaroni is Assistant Professor of Measurements and Biomedical Instrumentation at Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma. His research is focused on the design and test of soft sensors and wearable devices based on conductive elements and fiber optic sensors for vital signs monitoring and the development of contact-less technologies for remote physiological monitoring of patients and users. He serves as Chair of the TC 'Wearable Sensors' of the IEEE Sensors Chapter Council Italy Section, and he is Member of TC 'Wearable Biomedical Sensors and Systems' and 'Biomedical Imaging and Image Processing' of the IEEE EMB. He is a member of the editorial boards of MDPI Sensors and Frontiers in Digital Health, Guest Editor of several special issues in the field of sensors for biomedical applications, and he serves as TCP members and Chair in several international Conferences. Carlo Massaroni is IEEE Member, IEEE EMBS, IEEE IMS.
