P&S: Smart Patch Projects

VVZ CR n/a

Last Updated: 2026-07-21 00:35:26

Abstract

Der Bereich Praktika, Projekte, Seminare umfasst Lehrveranstaltungen in unterschiedlichen Formaten zum Erwerb von praktischen Kenntnissen und Fertigkeiten. Ausserdem soll selbstständiges Experimentieren und Gestalten gefördert, exploratives Lernen ermöglicht und die Methodik von Projektarbeiten vermittelt werden.

Objective

Wearable devices, PCB Design, Firmware developing, multi-sensors, Communication. The Smart Patch project will design autonomous, low power and mesh enabled multi-sensor wearable smart patches. They will be based on the always-on smart sensing paradigm to continuously acquire process and stream physiological data in real-time. They can be trained to autonomously detect illness symptoms or other physical conditions, such as stress. The students will work in a team to design a sub-block of the smart patch. According to the students' background, they will be associated swith designing the hardware or the firmware. Together in a team, they will learn how to structure problems and identify solutions, system analysis, and simulation, as well as presentation and documentation techniques. They will get access to D-ITET labs and state-of-the-art engineering tools (Matlab, Simulink, Firmware development IDE, PCB Design, etc.) The course will be done in coollaboartion with DZ Center at D-ITET. The projects will be done under the Smart Patches: a flagship project for D-ITET students. (pbl.ee.ethz.ch)
