Abstract

Recent R&D solutions for e-health and m-health in terms of wearables offer new, sophisticated devices and systems, which might transform healthcare delivery through telemonitoring and telerehabilitation. In this paper the authors briefly introduce the field and the socioeconomic driving forces behind its rapid development. Wearable devices and systems developed at the authors’ laboratories are briefly described with emphasis given to cardiopulmonary monitoring and remote post-stroke neuromuscular telerehabilitation.
