Improving our understanding of sleep physiology and pathophysiology is an important goal for both medical and general wellness reasons. Although the gold standard for assessing sleep remains the laboratory polysomnogram, there is an increasing interest in portable monitoring devices that provide the opportunity for assessing sleep in real-world environments such as the home. Portable devices allow repeated measurements, evaluation of temporal patterns, and self-experimentation. We review recent developments in devices designed to monitor sleep-wake activity, as well as monitors designed for other purposes that could in principle be applied in the field of sleep (such as cardiac or respiratory sensing). As the body of supporting validation data grows, these devices hold promise for a variety of health and wellness goals. From a clinical and research standpoint, the capacity to obtain longitudinal sleep-wake data may improve disease phenotyping, individualized treatment decisions, and individualized health optimization. From a wellness standpoint, commercially available devices may allow individuals to track their own sleep with the goal of finding patterns and correlations with modifiable behaviors such as exercise, diet, and sleep aids.

Nowadays, we are very conscious about our health because of how the covid-19 virus has changed our day-to-day life. IoT healthcare devices can be really helpful in this pandemic situation when we are all stuck in our homes. We have witnessed that IoT devices got very popular during this pandemic and the term ‘IoT’ also got really famous in the healthcare industry. If the hospital is far away from someone’s home, then using these portable monitoring devices one can keep track of their well-being. Health is the most important aspect for any individual, so in this paper, we propose a solution named the IoT-based Tetra Health Surveillance System (THSS) which helps us to monitor people who live by themselves or elderly people who want to continuously monitor their vitals due to underlying health conditions. Our proposed solution also displays the Temperature and Humidity, Blood pressure, Body Temperature, and SpO2/Blood Oxygen level at any given moment. This work will have a significant technical and commercial benefit because an individual can monitor all their vitals in one place and they don’t have to buy separate pieces of equipment to monitor each one of their vitals. This proposed device can be an all-in-one solution that is cost-effective and easy to use.

Preliminary results reported last year on the ion etching of tobacco mosaic virus indicated that the diameter of the virus decreased more rapidly at 10KV than at 5KV, perhaps reaching a constant value before disappearing completely.In order to follow the effects of ion etching on TMV more quantitatively we have designed and built a second apparatus (Fig. 1), which incorporates monitoring devices for measuring ion current and vacuum as well as accelerating voltage. In addition, the beam diameter has been increased to approximately 1 cm., so that ten electron microscope grids can be exposed to the beam simultaneously.
