The research group established an IoT laboratory within the framework of the Croatia Science Foundation starting grant, whose Principal Investigator is the proposed head of the research group. As part of the project, equipment for IoT sensors based on different radio technologies was acquired, with a special emphasis on medical applications such as several types of smart bracelets, EEG devices, indoor air quality sensors, etc. Numerous scientific papers were developed as part of the research work on topics of health aspects, and in addition the laboratory is equipped with equipment for RFID technology, HF and UHF signal generators, spectrum analyzer and software defined radio (SDR) systems, digital oscilloscope, personal and laptop computers, other sensor systems based on Arduino technology. The laboratory has 3D printing equipment as well as a system for the production of printed circuit boards.
Expansion and deepening of activities will continue, with a focus on testing, optimization, and validation of the developed technologies in real-world conditions. Work will proceed on the development of new types of sensors for detecting changes in health parameters, with special attention given to their integration into existing systems, as well as improving measurement accuracy and reliability.
From a technical standpoint, a more advanced measurement system will be implemented, involving the use of a larger number of wearable devices (smart wristbands), with a focus on collecting heterogeneous data and processing it using machine learning algorithms. The development of predictive models and identification of behavioral patterns related to users’ health is expected.
Finally, integration with other related projects ongoing at the Faculty will be carried out, including “Internet of Things: Research and Applications”, funded by the Croatian Science Foundation, “H-Beacon – Soil Humidity Prediction: the beacon Approach”, a TETRAMAX H2020 Digital Innovation Hub project, a technology transfer research project, the RaSTEMo project, the Fact-checking project in the field of energy and computing, and the VIF research group led by Prof. Perković. Work will also continue on the new Interreg cooperation project between Croatia and Italy (DIGITAL PLAN), aimed at the digitalization of civil protection plans using IoT technologies, where wearable technologies can significantly support civil protection efforts.
