Dr. Vito Monaco
Short Biography
Dr. monaco received his Master degree in Electrical Engineering with first class honours (110/110 e lode) at the Politecnico di Bari (IT) in the 2003, and his PhD degree in “Biorobotics, Science and Engineering” at the IMT Lucca (IT) in conjunction with the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Pisa (IT) in the 2008, after he spent a 6 months long period as “visiting student” at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA). His current position is Assistant Professor at The BioRobotics Institute, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Pisa (IT). Dr. Monaco's main scientific interests account for: modifications of motor control during walking and unperturbed upright stance due to aging and neuro-musculoskeletal disorders; - fall biomechanics; design and the development of robotic platform aimed at delivering neuro-rehabilitative treatments for the recovery of locomotion in post-stroke patients.

Prof. Ing. Sergio Saponara
Short Biography
Sergio Saponara received the M.Sc., cum laude, and the Ph.D. degrees in Electronic engineering from the University of Pisa, Italy. In 2002, he was with IMEC (Leuven, Belgium) as Marie Curie Research Fellow. He is Professor at the University of Pisa in the field of electronic circuits, systems and instrumentation teaching courses at the School of Engineering, at the Italian Naval Academy, at the PhD program in Information Engineering. He co-authored more than 250 scientific publications and more than 20 patents. He is Associate Editor of 4 journals, among them Springer Journal of RealTime Image Processing and IEE/IEEE Electronics Letters. He has been involved in the technical committee of about 100 IEEE and SPIE conferences, and he has research associations with the European Networks of Excellence HIPEAC and NEWCOM, and with INFN, CNIT and CINI. He is the organizer of the summer school “Enabling technologies for IoT” of Pisa University. He is also cofounder and CTO of IngeniArs, a start-up company, operating in the fields of telemedicine, space, automotive. Abstract Nowadays, chronic diseases such as CHF or BPCO, affect an ever-growing segment of population, and it is among the major causes of hospitalization for elderly citizens. The actual out-of-hospital treatment model, based on periodic visits, has a low capability to detect signs of destabilization and 3
leads to a high re-hospitalization rate. In this lecture, a complete and integrated ICT system is described enabling chronic patients to daily collect vital signs at home and automatically send them to the Hospital Information System, allowing the physicians to monitor their patients at distance and take timely actions in case of necessity. A set of vital parameters has been identified, e.g. ECG, SpO2, blood pressure, weight, etc. measured through a pool of wireless, non-invasive biomedical sensors. Sensors can be COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) devices or custom ones. As example, a multichannel front-end IC for cardiac sensor interfacing has been developed using microelectronic technologies. A user-friendly single-lead ECG device has been also designed and patented to simplify self-made measurements at home. Sensor data acquisition and signal processing are in charge of an additional device, the home gateway. All signals are processed upon acquisition in order to assert if both punctual values and extracted trends lay in a safety zone established by thresholds. Per-patient personalized thresholds, required measurements and transmission policy are allowed. As proved by medical tests, the proposed telemedicine platform represents a valid support to early detect the alterations in vital signs that precede the acute syndromes, allowing early home interventions thus reducing the number of subsequent hospitalizations
