This paper is mainly concerned with the integration of wireless body sensor network and walking route navigation system in order to provide the most suitable walking path to the wearer following the wearer's health condition. A novel system called Footpaths is proposed. Footpaths is designed to facilitate the measurement of the user's cardio-respiratory fitness level (CRF), through the use of a wearable...
Given that wearable sensors that are attached on patients for the purpose of continuous real-time medical monitoring typically need to remain operational for periods of up to 24 hours before a battery change or recharge, power preservation schemes play a critical role in minimizing any possible disruption to a patient's daily activities. In this paper, we propose a motion-based wake-up scheme, a feature...
Healthcare is considered as one of the most important agenda to address by many countries worldwide. Thanks to the recent development in wireless sensor technology, a continuous medical monitoring of the patients under their natural physiological states has been made possible and this will certainly help to detect transient life threatening from daily activities. With the growing variety of healthcare...
This paper presents a new algorithm for real time tracking the flexion angle from wearable accelerometer sensor data using wireless body sensor network (BSN). The proposed algorithm uses dynamic filter for tracking the flexion angles of which the human body dynamics is described by its system model. In this work, the Extended Kalman Filtering is used to demonstrate the superiority of this approach...
Recent advances in wireless communication and sensor technologies have opened up a new paradigm in healthcare industry. More and more attentions in the wireless body area network (WBAN) have been received recently. However, the limited network resources constrain the application development in WBAN. In this paper, we present a service-specific middleware architecture to bridge the gap between the...
Advances in wireless sensor technology have opened up a new paradigm in the healthcare industry. Ubiquitous and embedded medical monitoring is no longer a myth and this helps improve the daily lives of the sick, elderly, infirm, and chronically ill people. Given the variety of medical body sensors and its applications, it is definitely of interest to implement a middleware system that shield off these...
In a wireless environment, data broadcast paradigm has been recognized as an effective and scalable mechanism to disseminate frequently requested information to a large number of clients. This paper presents the development of a multiple entity types wireless broadcast database system. The broadcast system is designed to serve transitive queries or queries that access related data items belonging...
