In the field of vital signs monitoring, there is a growing trend towards transposing monitoring technologies into people’s daily lives. Currently, the work revolves around wearables. However, wearables have known limitations, mainly the need for voluntary actions to acquire the signals of interest, low battery life, and abandonment, which leads to the search for new solutions. An evolution is the integration of sensors into the environment or everyday objects through invisible devices (also known as “off the person” sensing). Properly assessing and matching the patient and their caregiver to the appropriate monitoring technology, while considering the suitability of the home environment for device operation and maintenance is a challenge that depends on sound human factors principles. This article reviews the current key features and technologies to provide an overview of the existing invisibles landscape.
