In the last years the Home Monitoring development is increased both for its capability as a real time tool to manage patients health and to reduce hospitalization costs. The Home Monitoring system is a complex structure that needs the collaboration of different disciplines, from medicine to engineering, and technologies. This project has been developed with the integration of different groups of research as to unify all the necessary knowledge. According to physician exigencies a signal processing library has been implemented to describe in a synthetic and effective way the pathological status of patients with moderate cardiovascular risk. Consequently a software and hardware architecture have been designed to acquire ECG signal, to extract HRV and respiratory information through a multiparametric approach and to store the results. This Home Monitoring system has been projected to work during an appropriate physical training section and its function is both diagnostic and therapeutic as well as for rehabilitation. The aim of this work is to describe the structure of the signal processing library.

Abstract
In the last years the Home Monitoring development is increased both for its capability as a real time tool to manage patients health and to reduce hospitalization costs. The Home Monitoring system is a complex structure that needs the collaboration of different disciplines, from medicine to engineering, and technologies. This project has been developed with the integration of different groups of research as to unify all the necessary knowledge. According to physician exigencies a signal processing library has been implemented to describe in a synthetic and effective way the pathological status of patients with moderate cardiovascular risk. Consequently a software and hardware architecture have been designed to acquire ECG signal, to extract HRV and respiratory information through a multiparametric approach and to store the results. This Home Monitoring system has been projected to work during an appropriate physical training section and its function is both diagnostic and therapeutic as well as for rehabilitation. The aim of this work is to describe the structure of the signal processing library.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
