Intelligent Agents and Complex Event Processing to enhance Patient Monitoring

This paper describes a smart ecosystem able to continuously monitor patients' health condition, at home or at work or during recreational activities, by exploiting a creative blend of Medical Wearables, Intelligent Agents (IA) and Complex Event Processing (CEP). With the help of a smart application, that links together the Wearables and the power of IA and CEP, patients will be continuously and actively supervised during their daily activities. This can even save their lives, in case sudden or gradual issues should occur. Thanks to our system, patients with non-severe though potentially unstable chronic diseases will no longer overburden first-aid services. This is also useful for containing the spread of COVID-19. Specifically, in this paper we focus on automated vitals monitoring, electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis, and psoriasis detection. Experimental results carried out on real patients show how promising our approach is.
