DESCRIPTION:The Wearable and Smart Device Challenge ([Official website](htt
 ps://www.metroind40iot.org/wearable-smart-device-challenge))\, organized w
 ithin the framework of IEEE MetroInd 2026\, is an international competitio
 n focused on the design and development of innovative wearable and smart s
 ystems for healthcare\, wellness\, and human activity monitoring applicati
 ons.\n\nThe challenge aims to foster the development of non-invasive\, por
 table\, and user-oriented technologies capable of acquiring reliable physi
 ological\, biomechanical\, and behavioral data through the integration of 
 advanced sensing solutions and wireless communication systems. Participati
 ng teams are encouraged to propose original prototypes able to monitor par
 ameters such as respiratory activity\, heart rate\, body movements\, tempe
 rature\, blood pressure\, or other indicators related to daily life activi
 ties and human behavior.\n\nOpen to BSc\, MSc\, and PhD students\, the ini
 tiative represents an opportunity to combine engineering\, sensing technol
 ogies\, embedded systems\, data acquisition\, and Industry 4.0 paradigms i
 n a highly multidisciplinary environment. Teams will present their project
 s through live demonstrations and poster sessions\, showcasing the real-ti
 me operation\, usability\, and technological innovation of their proposed 
 systems.\n\nProjects will be evaluated according to several criteria\, inc
 luding system performance\, originality\, ease of assembly and use\, and e
 ffectiveness of the presentation. Beyond the competitive aspect\, the chal
 lenge promotes collaboration and interaction between students\, researcher
 s\, academia\, and industry professionals working in the fields of wearabl
 e technologies\, smart sensing systems\, metrology\, and IoT.\n\nThe event
  will take place on June 10\, 2026\, at Cu.Bo. Building (Università Campu
 s Bio-Medico di Roma\, via Alvaro del Portillo 21\, 00128\, Rome RM)\, as 
 part of the official program of IEEE MetroInd 2026.\n\nUseful information:
