The project presented in this paper illustrates the design process for the development of an IoT system that monitors a specific bio-metric parameter (heart rate) in real time and provides feedback for an opera singer, as well as adding effects that manipulate the sounds emitted by the body during a self-healing practice. This allows the singer to rest and alternate opera singing techniques (which is very demanding) with other less demanding singing techniques and even a self-healing session in case of necessity during a performance. The case study presented in this paper has been developed with and for Eleonora Amianto, an opera singer who suffered from a carotid aneurysm. We performed an idiographic design process, closely collaborating with Eleonora, and developed a wearable IoT that suited her health and artistic needs. In the design of the system, we explore the intersection between self-healthcare and performative arts, focusing on the use of an Internet of Musical Things (IoMusT) system to implement medical prevention and treatment practices in an art performance. The system is developed using open-source tools, allowing for easy replication and improvement, as well as reducing risks of obsolescence and costs of updating. We complement a formal evaluation session with field notes collected during the design phase. We could observe a positive effect of the system on Eleonora's practice and its potential applications within different performative scenarios.

本文所展示的项目详述了开发一款物联网系统的设计过程，该系统可实时监测特定的生物特征参数（心率），并为歌剧演唱者提供反馈，同时增加对身体在自我修复练习过程中发出的声音进行操控的效果。此举使演唱者得以在歌剧演唱（一项极为考验耐力的活动）与其他要求较低的歌唱技巧甚至必要时的自我修复练习之间进行休息与切换。本论文中提出的案例研究是专为Eleonora Amianto女士量身打造的，她是一位患有颈动脉瘤的歌剧演唱者。我们与她进行了密切的合作，共同进行了个殊化的设计过程，并开发出一种适合她健康和艺术需求的可穿戴式物联网设备。在系统的设计过程中，我们探讨了自我保健与表演艺术之间的交集，重点关注利用音乐物联网（IoMusT）系统在艺术表演中实施医疗预防和治疗实践。该系统采用开源工具开发，便于复制和改进，同时降低了过时风险和更新成本。我们通过设计阶段收集的现场笔记，对系统的正式评估进行了补充。观察结果显示，该系统对Eleonora的练习及其在不同表演场景中的潜在应用具有积极影响。
