Mobile healthcare systems have great potential for continuous monitoring. These devices are often battery operated. Thus energy management in these wearable, wireless devices is a big challenge for longer durations. In this paper a systematic review of various techniques suggested in literature for energy efficiency and management in such wireless devices is presented. Various research efforts made...
Major requirements of wearable biosensor nodes include small size, light weight and low power consumption. It can be fulfilled by exploring various high integration technologies such as Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) or System on Chip (SoC) implementation. This paper presents SoC prototype of a Biosensor Node. Electrocardiogram (ECG), a vital body parameter, has been considered for...
A duration of century past over to the invention of electrocardiogram (ECG) but even today also electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring is playing its important role of help to take care of patients having cardiac diseases. Electrocardiogram (ECG) data compression is important for portable solutions, for reducing the storage requirements and low power consumption. Large variety of ECG compression algorithms...
Traditional computers data processing is limited by computer data input, output, storage, display. Further computing needs repeated binary-decimal conversions. With the expansion of data intensive computing needs of distributed computing, decimal computing of mass data is widely applied in banking, financial, signal processing, bio-medical, astronomy, geography, data acquisition and image compression...
In wireless medical devices, the patient's medical data are collected and wirelessly sent to the doctor. Nowadays, there is an increase in the online attackers on the wirelessly sent patient's data to exploit for their fun and profit. Hence, securing the patient's personal health data plays a vital role. In wireless communication, power consumption, security and execution time are the concerned parameters...
Agriculture is a most important and ancient occupation in India. As economy of India is based on agricultural production, utmost care of food production is necessary. Pests like virus, fungus and bacteria causes infection to plants with loss in quality and quantity production. There is large amount of loss of farmer in production. Hence proper care of plants is necessary for same. This paper presents...
The custom of pilgrimage is widespread all over the world, e.g. Kumbh Mela in India, Hajj in Saudi Arabia. These are the peaceful gatherings wherein, millions of people from all corners of the world come to perform their holy rituals. However, during these events, pilgrims getting lost in the crowd, medical emergencies and stampede are likely to happen. In such incidents, authorities involved in the...
Wireless medical devices are very useful for monitoring the health of patients continuously. Wearable medical devices come in contact with the harsh environment many times. Hence, security of these devices while sending data wirelessly is of utmost importance. The proposed system is based on security with low power consumption for portable devices. The proposed system includes collecting the data...
Cardiac pacemaker is an electronic medical device which is used to control abnormal rhythms of heart. Pacemaker requires continuous supply of energy where conventional wires are unaffordable, inconvenient, hazardous, expensive and impossible. Currently wearable pacemaker is operated by embedded battery. But the battery has limited life and it requires lifelong provision of energy. Wireless power supply...
Use of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems for managing clinical data are growing Time by Time in India. Many hospitals and medical institutions are ready to adopt one or the other EMR application for their necessity of data management. However a greater drawback in their system remain in the performance that apart from medical past and other clinical data entered by the clinicians, proof-data...
Mobility-assistive device such as powered wheelchair is very useful for disabled people, to gain some physical independence. The three main functions of the proposed system are, 1) wheelchair navigation using multiple input, 2) obstacle detection using IR sensors, 3) home automation for disable person. Wheelchair can be navigated through i)voice command or ii) moving head or hand in four fixed position...
mHealth is a growing concept across the globe. This is due to mobile access becoming more ubiquitous than the healthcare access in urban as well as rural areas. mHealth makes use of mobile communication technology for broad range of healthcare applications. It includes health information delivery, remote health monitoring of the patient, remote diagnosis and even remote treatment of the patients....
This paper describes implementation of ECG Sensor. The system is capable of acquiring and storing patient's ECG data in real-time. This received patient data can be further processed for any real time processing applications. System hardware comprises of micro-controller based ECG acquisition system. Software developed in Visual Basic 6 helps in displaying real time ECG signal. It also stores ECG...
