1Introduction and features
1.1 Executive summary
This document accompanies the actual / “physical” prototypes of the MOBISERV Wearable
Health Supporting Unit (WHSU) (shirt and band for daily use, pyjamas for night use,
together with a data logger and an application on PC). It aims at providing general
information about the prototype(s) and to briefly explain how they work.
1.2 General overview
The WHSU can be used in two different configurations. The first one concerns the direct use
with secondary user; that means without the need of the complete MOBISERV infrastructure.
The two actors are the patient and the healthcare professional. The figure below shows the
configuration needed.
Figure 1: Direct connection with secondary user
This configuration can be used in the hospital or during a medical examination and does not
need any intervention from the patient.
The second configuration is the complete system involving the PRU, the SHACU and the
WSHU. This configuration is used daily at home. The difference between the two
configurations is the application on PC. The viewer for the secondary user allows the
visualization of the whole set of vital signs and extracted parameters in real time while the
second configuration is a full long term monitoring of the patient in his/her daily life.
The data logger monitors vital signs (ECG and respiration), activity (3-axis acceleration) and
physiological extracted parameters, which are Heart rate (HR), Breathing rate (BR), activity
classification (lying, standing, walking, running and others). All the data can be recorded
(daily or nightly sessions) in a removable SD memory card (recording mode) or / and sent in
real time via Bluetooth to a PC (streaming mode). All recorded vital sign and processed data
can be downloaded via USB link while the data logger is recharging. It is a convenient,
economical way for later review of the recorded information.

1.3 Structure of the document
This document is organized as follows. The first chapter provides a general overview of the
system and possible configurations. The second chapter is dedicated to the description of the
daily and nightly application and the garment that is used in each case. The third chapter is
devoted to the technical description of the body sensor network based on ANT technology.
The fourth chapter describes the data logger in terms of hardware specifications and
maintenance. The fifth chapter gives an overview of the monitoring infrastructures for both
the secondary user environment and with the Robot and the SHACU. Chapter six gives the
necessary information to install the application on PC for the secondary user as well as a
short description of how to use the viewer. Chapter 7 gives some indications on the data
logger and the compliance with electrical and safety standard for medical devices. Chapter 8
provides a “getting started” description for the user himself. Finally, chapter 9 is advice
guideline related to the care and maintenance of the hardware (garment and embedded
electronics).

2Garments
Within the scope of MOBISERV two different types of garments have been created for vital
signs monitoring: the first one refers to sensorized shirt and band for day use, and the second
one to nightgown for night use. The garments have been deeply evaluated several times
during the project and revised accordingly, following suggestions and remarks carried out by
experts, carers and finally end-users in an iterative approach.
Following the delivery of the first set of wearable prototypes (D 5.3), an extensive evaluation
of WHSU has been conducted in 2012 in four stages:
•co-operative evaluation with carers,
•expert review by a care expert,
•co-design evaluation sessions with older adults,
•home trials.
The results are described in D2.5 Issue II - Appendix 3. The outcomes of this evaluation
study have been deeply discussed among the involved partners to start a second refinement
process. On the garment side, the changes were fundamentally focused on ergonomic,
comfort and usability aspects. The goal: to deliver a set of final prototypes as close as
possible to the elderly needs. No changes were made on the number and type of sensors
integrated into the textiles given to the fact that they can be considered sufficient for the
proposed scenarios.
In the following chapters the final prototypes of garments are presented and described. Care
and maintenance guide together with instructions for the correct use of the garments can be
found in chapters 8 and 9.
2.1 Design of the new prototypes
The main issues and remarks raised during the evaluation trials can be summarized as
follows:
•Users could be disoriented and confused by using the WHSU
•In the night systems, people can be confused by the use of the two data-loggers
•Pyjamas were not easy to be worn due to a lack of a front opening
•Elderly in general prefer to not wear lower part of pyjamas during the night
•The pockets of the garments didn't prevent the data-logger to coming out, especially
while sleeping
•People were afraid to damage the garments while washing them
•Temperature sensors and cables could be scaring and not comfortable for users
•People have difficulties to understand which is the inner part of the band
Generally, positive feedbacks were given on the chosen materials (mainly cotton based
yarns), and the use of zip and Velcro®.
2.2 Day Garments
Before starting the development of the new wearable systems, some sketches were designed
and submitted to the expert partners to eventually check some inconsistency.
Figure 3 presents the sketches for the day garments.
