With the elderly population growing around the world, falls increase the risk progressively with age. Those falls can origin injuries that may cause a great dependence and debilitation to the elderly, and even death in extreme cases. This paper reviews the related literature about this topic and introduces a mobile solution for falls prevention, detection, and biofeedback monitoring. The falls prevention...
A mobile health application solution with biofeedback based on body sensors is very useful to perform a data collection for patients remote monitoring. This system allows comfort, mobility, and efficiency in all the process of data collection providing more confidence and operability. Falls represent a high risk for debilitated elderly people. Falls can be detected by the accelerometer presented in...
Web services appeared as a promising technology for Web environments independent of technologies, services, and applications. Currently, there are some issues related with this approach that should be studied. For instance, if massive quantities of data are sent to databases it can influence significantly the performance of the whole system. The Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMPQ) appears as...
In recent years, the use of sensors on mobile devices is highly desirable. In particular, an accelerometer can be used for numerous applications such as tracking object or monitoring of the elderly. This paper presents an application tool based on an accelerometer, call SensorFall to detect and report the acceleration caused by a fall, which allows sending alerts in the form of SMS, phone call, or...
The current growth of mobile devices enabled with GPS receptors, cameras, accelerometers, and Internet access offers new opportunities for new mobile ubiquitous multimedia applications. Such applications help local communities to share resources using geo-location, interactive mapping, augmented reality, and several data representations. This paper presents CityEvents, a mobile solution that provides...
