WELCOME—Wearable Sensors for Patients Suffering from Cardiopulmonary Diseases

Abstract

WELCOME is a project on a vest equipped with more than 20 sensors for measuring body signals with a high spatial resolution. Being fully wearable and intuitive to use, the vest makes home monitoring of patients suffering from, for instance, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with comorbidities such as chronic heart failure feasible.
