Resum

This thesis proposes ASTREA, a framework as an integral solution of three pillars already introduced and which can be summarised as follows: 1) the design and development of monitoring systems which include sensors and wearables; 2) the automated deployment of the system in a mobile and dynamic network at runtime, as well as its post-deployment reconfiguration, which implies adaptations or upgrades to systems, emphasising the importance of maintaining localised scalability; and 3) the data gathering which comprises mobile elements as carriers and without including them. ASTREA has been created as a result of the prior study of various application domains, the design and development of monitoring systems in collaboration with experts (psychologists, doctors, nurses, midwives, educators and therapists) and which have been applied in specific environments. This research and previous developments have favoured the identification of common aspects and characteristics at the functional level, device and quality requirements that must be guaranteed for the correct functioning of such systems. Specifically, monitoring systems have been developed for direct application in real-life scenarios of patients suffering from Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Fibromyalgia (F), and pregnant women (and their partners) with Small-for-Gestational-Age (SGA) foetuses or low birth weight babies.
