Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can consume a large percentage of the energy used in a typical building. Intelligent building automation systems (BAS) are widely deployed to enable more efficient HVAC utilization, thus reducing the energy consumed. Enhanced data requires distributed sensing. We propose an instrumentation system for a low-cost, over-the-top efficiency monitor...
This paper begins an examination of at-risk older adult patient data (pressure and thermal) to identify patterns that may related to pressure ulcer development. This paper examines one patient's pressure data resulting from one night of sleep and one set of thermal images captured the following morning. Thermal images were examined using contour and area calculations. The left heel was significantly...
Thermal imaging is of value to medical professionals because of its low risk and non-invasive properties. While thermal imaging has been explored in the area of pressure ulcers, many relevant papers address existing pressure ulcers and few address the prevention of pressure ulcers. This paper aims to examine the potential of thermal imaging in the prevention of pressure ulcers by extracting temperature-based...
