Monitoring sleep postures can provide critical information when analyzing an individual's sleep quality and in-bed behavior. Furthermore, tracking sleep posture over time can play an important role in preventing pressure ulcers (bedsores) in bed-bound patients who are unable to move and change their position frequently. Pressure sensing mats consist of gridded and flexible force sensors are now commercially...
Pressure ulcer is one of the most prevalent problems for bed-bound patients in hospitals and nursing homes. Pressure ulcers are painful for patients and costly for healthcare systems. Accurate in-bed posture analysis can significantly help in preventing pressure ulcers. Specifically, bed inclination (back angle) is a factor contributing to pressure ulcer development. In this paper, an efficient methodology...
EEG based monitoring for the purpose of assessing a patient's neurological status is conspicuous and uncomfortable at best. We are analyzing a set of physiological signals that may be monitored comfortably by a wrist worn device. We have found that these signals and machine based classification allows us to accurately discriminate among four stress states of individuals. Further, we have found a clear...
This panel paper focuses on the use of a state estimation method for real time monitoring and control of a distribution feeder. The advantages of the state estimation as well as the challenges associated with adopting such a method in practice have been reviewed. The paper summarizes the enhancements that need to be made to the method so that the new data from advanced Meeting schemes can be used...
This paper illustrates the benefits of feeder level power quality (PQ) monitoring that is made possible by the new feeder integrated electronic devices (IED), which offer PQ monitoring as an add-on feature. The paper shows that the current practice gives only a rough estimate of actual PQ as seen by customers on a feeder, and the feeder level monitoring is needed to achieve the ultimate goal of PQ...
