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.

本文所阐述的项目展示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，同时增加对在自我疗愈练习过程中身体发出的声音进行操作的效果。这使得演唱者能够在表演过程中，将极具挑战性的歌剧演唱技巧与其他相对轻松的演唱技巧以及必要时进行的自我疗愈环节进行交替休息。本文所提出的案例研究是为Eleonora Amianto这位患有颈动脉瘤的歌剧演唱者所设计和开发的。我们通过进行个体化设计过程，与Eleonora紧密合作，开发了一套符合其健康和艺术需求的可穿戴物联网设备。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，着重于利用音乐物联网（IoMusT）系统将医疗预防和治疗实践融入艺术表演中。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。我们在正式评估会议之外，补充了设计阶段收集到的实地笔记。我们观察到，该系统对Eleonora的练习产生了积极影响，并在不同的表演场景中具有潜在的应用价值。
