Abstract
Ambulatory monitoring is of great interest in both clinical and domestic environments. Despite the technological advances, few monitoring solutions are suitable for medical application and diagnosis. Here, we investigate the feasibility of targeting the periauricular area (ear pavilion, ear canal, and the surrounding skin areas) to implement a multimodal system that fulfills the requirements of ergonomics and minimal obstructiveness in the context of epilepsy monitoring. Six physiological signals are selected and explored for their integration in the area of interest and a ¿proof-of-concept¿ prototype integrating the components in a single portable device targeting the selected location is implemented. Results show mixed results where some parameters are highly reliable, and others are impractical or require customized technology to provide clinically relevant information. To enable data acquisition, storage, and processing within the Internet of Medical Things paradigms, wireless body area transceiver integration is also analyzed in terms of coverage/capacity relations, showing feasibility for such device configuration.
