Introduction
Falling is among the most serious clinical problems in Parkinson's disease (PD). We used body‐worn sensors (falls detector worn as a necklace) to quantify the hazard ratio of falls in PD patients in real life.
Methods
We matched all 2063 elderly individuals with self‐reported PD to 2063 elderly individuals without PD based on age, gender, comorbidity, and living conditions. We analyzed...
Personal emergency response systems (PERS) such as Philips Lifeline help seniors maintain independence and age in place. PERS can use predictive analytics to help risk stratification and promote response-efficient emergency services. This paper presents a framework for estimating significant associations between Lifeline user characteristics and occurrence of emergency events. Predictive variables...
Mobile and embedded computing devices have become the dominant type of computing platforms. Energy-efficiency is a key requirement for these devices, underscored by growing reliance of consumers on services delivered through them and their growing complexity and sophistication. A detailed measurement-based characterization of energy consumed by applications running on mobile and embedded computing...
Posture changes initiate a dynamic physiological response that can be used as an indicator of the overall health status. We introduce an inconspicuous mobile wellness monitoring system (imWell) that continuously assesses the dynamic physiological response to posture transitions during activities of daily living. imWell utilizes a Zephyr BioHarness 3 physiological monitor that continually reports heart...
Timed-Up-and-Go (TUG) is a simple, easy to administer, and frequently used test for assessing balance and mobility in elderly and people with Parkinson's disease. An instrumented version of the test (iTUG) has been recently introduced to better quantify subject's movements during the test. The subject is typically instrumented by a dedicated device designed to capture signals from inertial sensors...
Individuals with limited ambulatory skills are at high risk for all physical inactivity-related diseases, such as coronary disease and diabetes. Increased physical activity can significantly lower risks of these diseases. However, quantifying recommendations for increased physical activity remain challenging for individuals who use wheelchairs for mobility. In this paper we introduce a smart wheelchair...
Long-term exposure to stress has been associated with chronic diseases, depression, and immune disorders. The precise detection and assessment of stress depends on personalized physiological monitoring and assessment of influence of personal and workplace factors We monitored nursing students during training on a high fidelity simulator in the Real-time Physiological Monitoring Lab at the University...
In engineering wireless body area network platforms it is crucial to meet performance goals at minimal hardware cost and energy required. This paper describes a design flow that relies on processor customization of Tensilica's Xtensa processor cores. We introduce custom instructions to expedite wavelet processing used in an ECG R-peak detection application. We explore several instruction extensions...
Prolonged exposure to stress has been associated with chronic diseases, depression, and immune disorders. Stress perception is highly subjective. Assessment of occupational stress requires personalized physiological monitoring and timely collection of individual characterization of sources of stress. We implemented a wearable system for monitoring of occupational stress of nurses — UAHealth. Personal...
