Ambient Assisted Living system monitors senior health at home

One outcome of the EU’s support of Ambiant Assistant Living is the following multi-bio-marker home monitoring device which continuously monitors glucose, cholesterol and blood oxygen levels.  It is expected that several similar monitors will be introduced in the near future, enabling seniors to better manage various diseases at home.

Fraunhofer FIT has developed an AAL system using miniature sensors integrated into one platform.  A nano potentiostat measures biochemical information in a patient’s assay, including glucose, lactate and cholesterol levels. A fluorescence sensor is used to detect color-marked biomarkers. An SpO2 sensor monitors heart rate and arterial oxygen saturation. A smartphone app processes the data from the three sensors and transfers them to a server. For secure data communication, a Bluetooth connection with a specifically developed protocol is used.
