Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the development of smart wearable systems. Such devices are centered around the human body with the aim of making technology as usable and less invasive as possible for the user.
Within this frame, this challenge aim at fostering the development of novel smart wearable devices to enhance the quality of human life by providing reliable and non-invasive measurements about different variables such as respiratory rate, heart activity and temperature to name a few.
Wearable Device Challenge is organized in the framework of the 2025 IEEE International Workshop on Biomedical Applications, Technologies and Sensors (IEEE BATS 2025). The competition is opened to all students (BSc, MSc or PhD) who are called to form teams composed by maximum 5 members.
THE CHALLENGE
The main objective of the challenge is to design and develop a wearable system able to address at least one of the following points:
- Monitor one or more vital parameters (e.g., respiratory frequency and heart activity)
- Monitor kinematic parameters (e.g., neck, wrist, and elbow movements)
- Measure other physiological parameter of interest (e.g., body temperature and blood pressure)
Measurement of such variables involves the integration, into the wearable devices, of a sensor/s able to monitor these parameters. Not limited to this, accordingly to the wearable devices mindset, the sensor should be portable and able to send data wireless. Each team is free to choose the sensors used to instrument the wearable.
