Availability of a particular doctor for a patient every time in emergency arises, may not be possible in case of remote monitoring of patients with chronic illnesses or for elderly people. It has been observed often that such patients display or experience situations that have occurred are identical to what has occurred to them in the past. Under such circumstances, the diagnoses and medications are...
Providing timely and appropriate medical help during a disaster or during an emergency situation is a key challenge in healthcare scenario. In this paper, we present Predictive Context aware Service (PCAS), which helps people in remote areas during disaster to search for a nearest doctor. This system not only finds the nearest doctor during that particular period of time but also finds the particular...
Providing quality healthcare in remote and rural areas pose several challenges like high patient-doctor ratio, and difficulty in accessing these locations. In this paper we propose to use JSON — based decision trees to assist doctors in providing medical help to such patients through dynamic service provisioning. A patient enters his preliminary symptoms details through a GUI in a mobile device, which...
CWSNs provide better bandwidth utilization as compared to a normal wireless sensor network because they use opportunistic spectrum access to transfer data. Opportunistic spectrum access is a very promising and spectrum efficient communication process when there is bur sty traffic in the network. IEEE 802.22 is the first standard based on the concept of cognitive radio. It also helps the network to...
Many protocols for distributed systems employ leasing mechanisms to recover from failures, where a leaseholder is granted access to data or services for a limited time (lease period. In such cases, choosing an appropriate lease period that is to be granted plays a crucial part in the fair and efficient access of data or services by the leaseholders. Existing algorithms vary lease periods with system...
The diverse roles that Notch signals play during the development and maintenance of normal tissues are recapitulated in different forms of cancer. Depending on the tumor type, Notch can variously promote or limit tumor growth through either cell autonomous or cell non-autonomous effects on differentiation, cellular metabolism, cell cycle progression, angiogenesis, and possibly self-renewal and immune...
