COLLABORATIONS
Background
The project addresses the
needs encountered in the medical field when measuring
vital parameters in non-collaborative patients over
extended periods (hours or even days). In many cases,
monitoring various parameters such as respiratory rate,
blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, and sweat fluid
quantity/quality is necessary, particularly in
situations where patient cooperation is not feasible,
such as during sleep studies, coma, neonatal care, or
during physical activities like sports medicine.
Among various applications, the primary focus is on
polysomnography, the gold standard for diagnosing
sleep-related breathing disorders like sleep apnea and
snoring. These disorders affect approximately one in
four adults in Italy, according to recent data from
the Italian Association of Sleep Medicine (AIMS).
Polysomnography objectively studies sleep by recording
physiological variables during different sleep stages
(REM and non-REM). However, measuring and monitoring
respiratory rate in this context is often challenging
due to sensor invasiveness and the cumbersome wiring
connections to the receiver. The new SPIROHUB device
with wireless sensors resolves these issues, making
measurements more accessible and reliable, greatly
benefiting diagnostics. Additionally, it facilitates
diagnosis for medical professionals by employing
real-time sensor data processing using AI algorithms
trained to recognize diagnostic patterns.
Aims
The goal of the project is to develop an
innovative electromedical device called SPIROHUB capable
of:
Collecting data on
patients' vital parameters transmitted by various
non-invasive, low-power sensors capable of
operating wirelessly and communicating via
wireless communication for extended periods.
Allowing for the
visualization and management of collected data.
Enabling the
processing and analysis of vital parameter trends
through innovative Artificial Intelligence
algorithms, facilitating rapid diagnosis.
