Urban parks can mitigate local heat, yet irrigation control is usually tuned for water savings rather than cooling. We report on SIMPaCT (Smart Irrigation Management for Parks and Cool Towns), a park-scale deployment that links per-zone…
The freshness of status information is of great importance for time-critical Internet of Things (IoT) applications. A metric measuring status freshness is the age-of-information (AoI), which captures the time elapsed from the status being…
Nowadays, mobile telephony interruptions in our daily life activities are common because of the inappropriate ringing notifications of incoming phone calls in different contexts. Such interruptions may impact on the work attention not only…
We investigate the low rank matrix completion problem in an online setting with ${M}$ users, ${N}$ items, ${T}$ rounds, and an unknown rank-$r$ reward matrix ${R}\in \mathbb{R}^{{M}\times {N}}$. This problem has been well-studied in the…
At-home rehabilitation for post-stroke patients presents significant challenges, as continuous, personalized care is often limited outside clinical settings. Moreover, the lack of integrated solutions capable of simultaneously monitoring…
A significant proportion of slum residents offer vital services that are relied upon by wealthier urban residents. However, the lack of access to clean drinking water and adequate sanitation facilities causes considerable health risks for…
Evidence suggests that medication adherence applications (apps) are one of the most effective methods to remind patients to take medication on time. Reminders via apps are overwhelming today, consumers discard using them after a brief…
Wearable devices are often used in clinical and epidemiological studies to monitor physical activity behavior and its influence on health outcomes. These devices are worn over multiple days to record activity patterns, such as step counts…
Next-generation internet-of-things (IoT) networks require extremely low latency, complexity, and collision probability. We introduce the novel partial-information multiple access (PIMA) scheme, a semi-grant-free (GF) coordinated random…
Menopause fundamentally reshapes female physiology, yet current understanding is limited by small longitudinal cohorts that characterize it as a gradual transition. Large-scale biomedical datasets remain underutilized because the age of the…
Every day, millions of people worldwide track their steps, sleep, and activity rhythms with smartwatches and fitness trackers. These continuously collected data streams present a remarkable opportunity to transform routine self-tracking…
The Internet of Mirrors (IoM) is an emerging IoT ecosystem of interconnected smart mirrors designed to deliver personalised services across a three-tier node hierarchy spanning consumer, professional, and hub nodes. Determining where…
Clinical images are vital for diagnosing and monitoring skin diseases, and their importance has increased with the growing popularity of machine learning. Lack of standards has stifled innovation in dermatological imaging, unlike other…
This paper reports on a study conducted as part of the EU EMPATHIC project, whose goal is to develop an empathic virtual coach capable of enhancing seniors' well-being, focusing on user requirements and expectations with respect to…
Internet of Things (IoT) is the new industrial slogan for connecting intelligent and unintelligent devices to the web. The problem of security of data transfer, interoperability of different proposed methodologies, the ubiquity of Wi-Fi and…
Within the last decade, running has become one of the most popular physical activities in the world. Although the benefits of running are numerous, there is a risk of Running Related Injuries (RRI) of the lower extremities. Electromyography…
Back pain is a pervasive issue affecting a significant portion of the population, often worsened by certain movements of the lower back. Assessing these movements is important for helping clinicians prescribe appropriate physical therapy.…
In recent years, working out in the gym has gotten increasingly more data-focused and many gym enthusiasts are recording their exercises to have a better overview of their historical gym activities and to make a better exercise plan for the…
Timely status updating is the premise of emerging interaction-based applications in the Internet of Things (IoT). Using redundant devices to update the status of interest is a promising method to improve the timeliness of information.…
Humidity control is a crucial element for a wide variety of experiments. Yet, often naive methods are used that do not yield stable regulation of the humidity, are slow, or are inflexible. PID-based electropneumatic humidistats solve these…
