Biologic and environmental signals corresponding to an individual’s living conditions at home were simultaneously collected from multiple devices and sensors by an IoT (Internet of Things) gateway, and bridges based on the hybrid Wi-SUN/Wi-Fi transmission system. B, Time-trend reporting system of ambulatory blood pressure and environmental conditions along with an individual’s high-risk places and times. ABPM indicates ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; AF, atrial fibrillation; BLE, Bluetooth; BP, blood pressure; IMS, ICT-based multi-sensor; and PR, pulse rate.
