Abstract:
The cINnAMON EUREKA Traditional project endeavors to revolutionize indoor lighting positioning and monitoring through the integration of intelligent devices and advanced sensor technologies. This article presents the prototypes developed for various project components and explores their potential application in medical education, particularly for aspiring healthcare professionals. The current variant of the intelligent bulb prototype offers a comparative analysis of the project's bulb against commercially available smart bulbs, shedding light on its superior efficiency and capabilities. Furthermore, the initial smart bracelet prototype showcases its ability to collect and analyze data from an array of built-in sensors, empowering medical students to evaluate fragility levels based on accelerometer, gyroscope, orientation, and heart rate data. Leveraging trilateration and optimization algorithms, the intelligent location module enables precise monitoring of individuals' positions within a building, enhancing medical students' understanding of patient localization in healthcare settings. In addition, the recognition of human activity module harnesses data from the bracelet's sensors to classify different activities, providing medical students with invaluable insights into patients' daily routines and mobility patterns. The user's personal profile module facilitates seamless user registration and access to the comprehensive services offered by the cINnAMON system, empowering medical students to collect patient data for analysis and aiding doctors in making informed healthcare decisions. With the telemonitoring system, medical students can remotely monitor patients by configuring sensors in their homes, thus enabling a deeper understanding of remote patient management. The cINnAMON web application serves as a powerful tool for medical students, presenting patient data in both tabular and graphical formats, allowing for comprehensive analysis and visualization. Moreover, medical students can set personalized thresholds for monitoring conditions, receiving timely notifications and alerts when patients' health parameters deviate from normal ranges. Finally, the prototype testing phase ensures the fulfillment of functional requirements, meticulous defect identification, and proactive risk mitigation, reinforcing the reliability and efficacy of the cINnAMON EUREKA Traditional project. By integrating the cINnAMON web application into medical education, aspiring healthcare professionals can harness its multifaceted features to enhance their clinical skills, broaden their understanding of patient care, and embrace the potential of cutting-edge technology in the field of medicine.
