Deployment and validation of a smart bed architecture for untethered patients with wireless biomonitoring stickers.

Conventional patient monitoring in healthcare has limitations such as delayed identification of deteriorating conditions, disruptions to patient routines, and discomfort due to extensive wiring for bed-bound patients. To address these, we have recently developed an innovative IoT-based healthcare system for real-time wireless patient monitoring. This system includes a flexible epidermal patch that collects vital signs using low power electronics and transmits the data to IoT nodes in hospital beds.

A LiDAR-Camera-Inertial-GNSS Apparatus for 3D Multimodal Dataset Collection in Woodland Scenarios.

Forestry operations have become of great importance for a sustainable environment in the past few decades due to the increasing toll induced by rural abandonment and climate change. Robotics presents a promising solution to this problem; however, gathering the necessary data for developing and testing algorithms can be challenging. This work proposes a portable multi-sensor apparatus to collect relevant data generated by several onboard sensors.

NR5G-SAM: A SLAM Framework for Field Robot Applications Based on 5G New Radio.

Robot localization is a crucial task in robotic systems and is a pre-requisite for navigation. In outdoor environments, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have aided towards this direction, alongside laser and visual sensing. Despite their application in the field, GNSS suffers from limited availability in dense urban and rural environments.

Physical and rehabilitation medicine intervention in stroke in the acute hospital setting: A cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Stroke represents the main cause of death and disability in Portugal. Resulting functional deficits are widely recognized. This work aims to evaluate the variation in functionality of stroke patients in the acute hospital setting under a rehabilitation program.
