Smart Wheelchair Uses IoT for Patient Monitoring From: Design News - 11/13/2015 By: Elizabeth Montalbano Students at the Furtwangen University (HFU) in Germany have developed what they call the IoT Wheelchair and the IoT Walker, aimed at helping patients who live in remote areas where it’s difficult to reach a local hospital or doctor but still may need fast and urgent care. The system works through sensors that measure vital parameters and send data about a patient's pulse rate and oxygen saturation, blood pressure, state control - including motion and position - body temperature, and GPS position control to the ThingWorx platform, Bumueller said. ThingWorx is an IoT application development framework for connecting devices in an IoT system.
