The application of statistics and mathematics over large amounts of data is providing healthcare systems with new tools for screening and managing multiple diseases. Nonetheless, these tools have many technical and clinical limitations as they are based on datasets with concrete characteristics. This proposition paper describes a novel architecture focused on providing a validation framework for discrimination...
Current trends in health management improvement demand the standardization of care protocols to achieve better quality and efficiency. The use of Clinical Pathways is an emerging solution for that problem. However, current Clinical Pathways are big manuals written in natural language and highly affected by human subjectivity. These problems make their deployment and dissemination extremely difficult...
The WHO Report 2002 describes in detail how a few major risk factors account for a significant proportion of all deaths and diseases in most countries. Those risk factors are directly related with lifestyle and unhealthy habits. Thus, population based approaches addressing lifestyle factors have huge potential for the prevention of severe morbidity and mortality. The best therapeutic choice is guided...
The goal of the high accuracy cycle time synchronization and its specific implementation described in this article is to ensure the high fidelity of the streamed multimedia contents transmitted between networked IEEE 1394 clusters via UWB over coaxial cable in home HANA and AV/C digital multimedia networks. This mechanism avoids buffer under- and overruns in sink's clusters as well as prevents phase...
CUORE is a Heart Failure (HF) Disease Assessment System that makes use of innovative approaches, based on Information Technologies (IT) and portable monitoring devices, for the continuous assessment of HF progression and cardiovascular risk stratification. The system valuates the cardiac condition integrating patient data from different sources with special emphasis in the information obtained for...
The 1394-to-coax bridge described here has been developed to enable digital multimedia home networks using the existing coax infrastructures as backbone for networking HANA (high-definition audio-video network alliance) devices as well as legacy IEEE 1394 (AV/C) digital multimedia devices which are connected to different 1394 clusters widespread over the consumer's home. The implementation is based...
A 1394-to-coax bridge that enables existing coax infrastructures to be used for connecting IEEE 1394 digital multimedia devices has been developed. The ultra wideband technology is applied to transfer 1394 packets through the coax cable. This paper outlines the architecture and functionality of this bridge node.
In the Western World, Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) are the leading source of death. Only in Europe, they cause 45% of all deaths. Besides Heart Failure, the paradigm of CVD, affects mainly people older than 65. Facing this reality, the European Union has funded MyHeart Project, whose mission is empowering citizens to fight CVD by means of a preventive lifestyle and an early diagnosis. This paper...
This paper presents the architecture of a complete communications platform for biosensor-based applications in the domain of sleep disorders. It covers from the direct communication with the sensors themselves to the most remote application modules. It has been divided into three levels: BAN (Body Area Network), LAN (Local Area Network) and WAN (Wide Area Network), and it uses wireless communications...

In Europe, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading source of death, causing 45% of all deaths. Besides, heart failure, the paradigm of CVD, affects mainly people older than 65. In the current aging society, the European Union funded MyHeart Project, whose mission is empowering citizens to fight CVD by means of a preventive lifestyle and an early diagnosis. This paper presents the design and...
