An IoT and Fog Computing-Based Monitoring System for Cardiovascular Patients with Automatic ECG Classification Using Deep Neural Networks
2020
Telemedicine and all types of monitoring systems have proven to be a useful and low-cost tool with a high level of applicability in cardiology. The objective of this work is to present an IoT-based monitoring system for cardiovascular patients. The system sends the ECG signal to a Fog layer service by using the LoRa communication protocol. Also, it includes an AI algorithm based on deep learning for the detection of Atrial Fibrillation and other heart rhythms. The automatic detection of arrhythmias can be complementary to the diagnosis made by the physician, achieving a better clinical vision that improves therapeutic decision making. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated on a…
Adaptation of the Model for Assessment of Telemedicine (MAST) for IoT Telemedicine Services
2017
Internet of Things (IoT) based solutions and services may be used to support and extend the independent living of older adults in their living environments by responding to real needs of caregivers, service providers and public authorities. Telemedicine and telehealth platforms are among the various types of IoT services that could support the provision of health services. Current Health Technology Assessment (HTA) models that are used for the evaluation of telehealth and telemedicine services do not consider IoT aspects. HTA models would ideally need to be extended to include IoT platforms, for an optimal introduction of IoT in everyday provision of health and care services. This paper pre…
La actualidad de la distinción entre fenómeno y cosa en sí para la fenomenología. Los diferences significados de la cosa en sí en Kant y Husserl.
2020
Kant’s and Husserl’s philosophies both ground on the distinction between the things in themselves and the phenomenon. While for Kant, this distinction rests in the respective faculties and the mediating function of imagination, for Husserl it is a function of the perceptual process itself. Concerning the thing in itself, its main sense for Kant is that of noumenon or intelligible being, while for Husserl it is mainly the ideal of the adequate givenness of a particular reality of the thing. This contribution aims at developping Husserl’s critical reformulation of Kant’s thing in itself by analysing its different senses and interpretations at both authors.

2013
Il volume Tommaso Maria Napoli Utriusque Architecturae Compendium Roma 1688 Breve trattato sulle fabbriche civili e militari e la conservazione delle architetture del frate domenicano Tommaso Maria Napoli, vuole contribuire ad accrescere le nostre conoscenze sui principi che dovevano sottendere alla realizzazione dell’architettura civile e militare del periodo barocco e tardo barocco, così come espressi nel breve trattato scritto dal frate architetto, nato a Palermo, Tommaso Maria Napoli (1659-1725), e pubblicato a Roma alla fine del Seicento. Alla traduzione dal latino del trattato, redatta da esperti (Fabio Zarbo e Pietro Zarbo), è inclusa un’interessante ricerca, redatta congiuntamente c…
A Lightweight Network Discovery Algorithm for Resource-constrained IoT Devices
2019
Although quite simple, existing protocols for the IoT suffer from the inflexibility of centralized infrastructures and require several configuration stages. The implementation of these protocols is often prohibitive on resource-constrained devices. In this work, we propose a distributed lightweight implementation of network discovery for simple IoT devices. Our approach is based on the exchange of symbolic executable code among nodes. Based on this abstraction, we propose an algorithm that makes even IoT resource-constrained nodes able to construct the network topology graph incrementally and without any a priori information about device positioning and presence. The minimal set of executab…
Use of ICT in Smart Cities. A practical case applied to traffic management in the city of Valencia
2015
The whole process of converting a city into the new concept of Smart City implies the improvement of the efficiency and quality of services made available by governments and businesses and a corresponding increase in citizens' quality of life.
A Battery-free Asset Monitoring System based on RF Wireless Power Transfer
2020
In the Internet of Things (IoT) era, asset monitoring represents an appealing implementation of Wireless Sensor Networks due to the enormous benefits associated with being able to monitor and record the exact position and transportation conditions of assets, personal objects, and the like. This kind of infrastructure enables the provision of increasingly advanced services, including the ability to measure the movement speed of a monitored asset using relatively inexpensive nodes with sensing capabilities and wireless transmission and reception. These nodes would ideally employ battery-free sensors that do not require any maintenance, but conventional power supply management systems cannot s…
IoT-MAAC: Multiple Attribute Access Control for IoT environments
2020
Access Control is an important security service that should be considered in IoT environments in order to offer reliable IoT services. Access control in IoT environments concerns not only the access of IoT users to IoT services and objects, but also the access of IoT objects to IoT gateways. In this paper, we specify an access control mechanism that considers the access of IoT objects to IoT gateways in order to enhance the reliability of IoT data provided by the IoT objects. Our proposed access control mechanism, called IoT-MAAC (Multi Attribute Access Control), allows retrieving requested data from the most reliable and secured IoT objects among the available objects in the IoT environmen…
State of the art about use of IoT in education
2018
Every day the devices connected autonomously to the communication networks are increased. New applications arise for this type of interconnected objects, thus offering new alternatives for solutions of any kind, through the use of technology based on ubiquitous computing. That is why this work is inspired by these new technologies for its application in the educational field, with the purpose of contributing to the imposition of the use of IoT as a tool1 in the classroom.
Impacts of urban environment on the eco-physiological responses of trees: Tree-Talker (TT) new devices for the monitoring of trees
2019
Urban ecosystems will become increasingly important in the coming years. Urban trees are likely to increase in importance to society as their value in enhancing people's sense of well-being as well as the direct economic impacts are increasingly recognized. Urban forest monitoring data are essential to assess the impacts of tree planting campaigns and management programs. Tree-Talker (TT) is a device based ton the Internet of Things (IoT) technology for the monitoring of trees physical and physiological conditions. The TT allows the monitoring of (i) multispectral measurements of the sunlight transmitted through the canopy in 12 bands across the visible and near infra-red spectra; (ii) sap …
