A tele-medical approach for monitoring and detecting prolonging QT-intervals via cellular equipments is proposed in this paper. Currently, the procedures for detecting Longed QT Syndrome (LQTS) involves taking a 1 time preliminary prognosis followed by a comprehensive long time hospital or laboratory bound monitoring; the latter is only conducted if and only if the former is tested positive. However,...
In this paper, we propose to provide a better way to monitor one's cardiac health status given today's array of exercise monitors. Built on top of our existing MobiCare technology and using an adaptation of the Fox and Haskell formula for exercise, we have set up an exercise monitor on the mobile phone that will help an individual achieve a certain goal that he or she wants from doing exercise. It...
This paper is mainly concerned with the integration of wireless body sensor network and walking route navigation system in order to provide the most suitable walking path to the wearer following the wearer's health condition. A novel system called Footpaths is proposed. Footpaths is designed to facilitate the measurement of the user's cardio-respiratory fitness level (CRF), through the use of a wearable...
The amount of information that can be gleamed from portable medical measuring apparatus is tremendous. Many portable medical apparatus manufacturers in the world are performing their own research and development to extract information. However, the data structure and protocol for the conveyance of the extracted information is left to the discretion of the manufacturers. This is because there is a...
Given that wearable sensors that are attached on patients for the purpose of continuous real-time medical monitoring typically need to remain operational for periods of up to 24 hours before a battery change or recharge, power preservation schemes play a critical role in minimizing any possible disruption to a patient's daily activities. In this paper, we propose a motion-based wake-up scheme, a feature...
Healthcare is considered as one of the most important agenda to address by many countries worldwide. Thanks to the recent development in wireless sensor technology, a continuous medical monitoring of the patients under their natural physiological states has been made possible and this will certainly help to detect transient life threatening from daily activities. With the growing variety of healthcare...
A physical activity monitoring system by data fusion in body sensor networks is presented in this paper, which targets at providing body status information in real time and identifying body activities. By fusion of data collected from several accelerometer sensors placed on different parts of the body, the activities can be identified and tracked Mathematical approaches employed in the system include...
