Environmental Monitoring Based on FIWARE: A Medical Case Study

This project shows the development of an embedded systems that monitors PM1, PM2 and PM10 dust particles in an intensive care room in a hospital. Results are communicated through the Orion Context Broker component (included on the internet of things chapter of fiware platform) and provided to the user by a cellphone app. The system informs about the size and concentration of dust particles suspended in the air surrounding patients on a given environment to help determine the risk of propagation of nosocomial diseases.
