Edge and cloud computing for certified wearable devices
(COMFTECH)

1-Study of architectures for edge computing that optimize the management and processing of data generated by wearable devices, address topic Interoperability with Howdy devices and external devices. Evaluation on security, authentication, encryption , also in relation to EHDS.
Development of machine learning algorithms and real-time data analysis to extract useful information from locally managed data on edge devices. Particular focus on predictive and anomaly detection algorithms in use cases with pediatric patients, in collaboration with clinicians. Data processing from distributed sensors (hospital, home )

2-  Development and implementation of an HL7 communication protocol for automatic integration of physiological data collected by Comftech wearable devices into hospital information systems. This objective consists of the following sub-objectives:  

• Analysis and modeling of sensed physiological data (e.g., heart rate, respiration, posture, movement) and mapping to HL7 v2.x and/or HL7 FHIR messages.

• Development of a middleware module for conversion, validation and transmission of data from wearable devices to hospital EHRs. Integration with existing Comftech software, including: The Howdy App, which manages data capture and visualization at the personal and home levels. 

• Departmental monitoring software designed for hospital or clinical environments.
  Testing in simulated and real environments, with validation of HL7 flows in collaboration with clinical partners.

3- Development of a web platform for the management, exploration and sharing of physiological data from wearable devices to support scientific research
