Ubiquitous health (U-Health) system witch focuses on automated applications that can provide healthcare to human anywhere and anytime using wired and wireless mobile technologies is becoming increasingly important. This system consists of a network system to collect data and a sensor module which measures pulse, blood pressure, diabetes, blood sugar, body fat diet with management and measurement of...
The rapid growth of elderly population has created a huge increase in demand for home health-care services. Home service robots are expected to play an important role to support elderly people at home to improve their life quality. Unlike industrial robots, home service robots face many challenges in terms of safety, autonomy, flexibility and usability, etc. How to efficiently realize human-robot...
The increasing trends in the occurrence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, and an aging population present serious near-term problems in providing suitable healthcare within the existing medical structure. Further, ill and elderly patients experiencing mobility and transportation issues are at risk in obtaining both regular and emergency medical treatment. Mobile health monitoring...
Electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement without skin-contact is essential for u-healthcare. ECG measurement using capacitive-coupled electrode (CC-electrode) is a well-known method for unconstrained ECG measurement. Although the CC-electrode has the advantage of non-contact measurement, common mode noise is increased, which decreases the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this study, we proposed non-contact...
The recent issues in healthcare systems are the mobility of the patients to do their normal work and at the same time monitored frequently by their physicians to be aware of the current condition of the patient. This research presents the ubiquitous and intelligent framework which is an efficient integration of software and hardware components of the ubiquitous healthcare system. The focus of our...
This paper proposes a u-Healthcare system that can perceive emergency situations in chronic hypertension patients and initiate emergency action. The proposed system considers patient mobility and integrates a medical recommendations knowledge base and communication protocols between system agents in an RFID and Cell phone architecture. A comparison and analysis of the proposed system and the operational...
Recently emerging U-healthcare system performs the prevention and control of various diseases and health management in consideration of users' mobility not limited to specific space. The present study proposed a multi-agent-based U-healthcare system to provide health management and medical service to hypertension. The multi-agent system is composed of diagnosis agent that provides prescription information...
The present study proposes a management system combining fuzzy c-means (FCM) and evolutionary computation in order to provide an optimal treatment method based on the patient's context information in ubiquitous environment. Because FCM has the shortcoming of falling easily into a local solution, we adjusted the initial values sensitively through evolutionary computation. In fitness evaluation, we...
