The current method to detect allergies obliges the patient to stay within a room under the observation of the nurse during the allergy tests. Such tests last up to 4 hours. The authors have developed an allergy detection system based on the heart rate variability, which is monitored through electrocardiogram sensors. The detector is based on the correlation between variations of the heart rate and...
Telemedicine or mHealth systems can improve the quality of life of patients who need to be monitored continuously. Not only will it allow them to stay at their own home with a higher level of mobility but also maintaining or even improving the accuracy of the diagnostic. Remote monitoring can enable information about the health status of all patients to be passed to the medical staff continuously...
In this paper, we tackle the problem of the food allergic detection in children, based on the analysis of the ECG signal. Through the detection of some changes of this signal, it is possible to detect any reaction before the tested subject experiments any physical reaction or any reaction that could be harmful to his/her life. To be able to realize this process in real-time and with portable devices,...
This work proposes a WWBAN (Wearable Wireless Body Area Network) for patients and its localization by means of a Zigbee-based LPS (Local Positioning System). To carry out both systems a mote has been used. This mote is a device composed by a microcontroller, some sensors and some communication modules. The WWBAN is used to measure user movement and heart rate, save it and send it to a remote device...
This paper proposes a way to improve the position estimates in an indoor location systems (ILS) based on readings from the power levels (RSSI) of an ad hoc ZigBee network. A mobile object, also equipped with a ZigBee device, can be located, positioned, and tracked by the system. The initial estimate of the mobile node position is extracted from IC devices from Texas Instruments, equipped with a specific...
Recent advances in communications technologies and embedded systems have allowed the development of remote health monitoring systems. There are different approaches depending on the available measurements and the communication system used. In this paper an activity monitoring system is proposed in order to detect falls and/or faints of the user. The feature that distinguishes this system from other...
