Cardiac arrhythmia is a class of serious heart diseases that threatens many people. Current arrhythmias diagnostic techniques seem to be partially efficient due to the application limitations either in time or in space. The paper presents a real-time continuous arrhythmias detection system (RECAD) platform based on the wireless sensor network technology. This system provides long-term real-time surveillance...
Most of the patients who are in hospitals and, increasingly, patients controlled remotely from their homes, at-home monitoring, are continuously monitored in order to control their evolution. The medical devices used up to now, force the sanitary staff to go to the patients' room to control the biosignals that are being monitored, although in many cases, patients are in perfect conditions. If patient...
An embedded remote health care system based on wireless sensor network technology was established. Firstly, a new system architecture was proposed which introduced a scalable wireless personal medical sensor network around human's body. Then the designs of several sensor node and the care base-station were presented. The wireless communication between the sensor nodes and the care base-station used...
In the nearest future a lot of post-operative treatment and health monitoring is going to be performed in people's homes instead of in hospital. The increasing number of elderly people in the developed countries and the need for more advanced medical treatment and equipment in conjunction with economical demands will force the development of more cost-effective solutions. The equipment used must be...
A remote patient monitoring system is described. This system is to monitor information of multiple patients in ICU/CCU via 3G mobile phones. Conventionally, various patient information, such as vital signs, is collected and stored on patient information systems. In proposed system, the patient information is recollected by remote information server, and transported to mobile phones. The server is...
A kind of remote monitoring system on heart sound is constructed, which can tele-monitor ECG and PCG. The system integrates embedded Internet technology and wireless technology. As it can send ECG and PCG by Internet, it realizes real-time recording and monitoring of physiology parameter of patients at low cost and both at home and in hospital, and it also can be used for analysis for computer or...
The evolution of telecommunications technologies in connection with the robustness and the fidelity these new systems provide, have opened up many new horizons as regards the provision of healthcare and the quality of service from the side of the experts to that of the patients. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the third generation telecommunications systems that are only recently being deployed...
Information technology applications in medicine are rapidly expanding, and new methods and solutions are evolving since they are considered pivotal in the success of preventive medicine. In this paper two different concepts will be presented, the PANACEIA-iTV and the e-Vital concept. PANACEIA-iTV is a home care service provision system based on interactive TV technology and supported by the IST programme...
The per presents a new telementoring system incorporating audio-video communication and remote robotic control. The system was developed around an off the shelf ISDN video conferencing system enhanced with video annotation and remote robot control features. The user can remotely control a robot to perform needle alignment and insertion in a percutaneous access procedure. Particular attention was devoted...
With the increase of aging people, the task to maintain the health care level becomes heavier. To compensate for shortages of nurses and reduce the stress of nursing work, we have attempted to create an Internet based mobile robot system for hospitals or home healthcare. In this paper, we described a feasibility study and a basic platform design of a teleoperated healthcare service system via the...
A robot-assisted orthopedic telesurgery system, named HIT-RAOTS, has been developed according to Chinese conventional operation method. Its main function includes obtaining images with information of position and orientation of fracture, providing fracture information for doctors, assisting the doctors to complete the reposition of fracture and locking operation of intramedullary nail. In this system,...
This paper presents an analysis of different methodologies for modelling pharmacokinetic systems under the context of a telemedicine system oriented to the on-line and personalized knowledge generation. We use a simplified 3-pool kinetic system for a better clarification of several relevant modelling formalisms. A more complete 3-pool urea kinetic model is built simply connecting EL components pertaining...
Today e-learning is not impossible, and it becomes a generation of next education technology. Now e-learning has two directions of developing: the one is the construction of learning management system (LMS); and the other is the developing reusable content. Our studies focus on the developing content. Now the medical image information system of hospital usually is picture archiving and communication...
A virtual space locomotion interface device using lower limb motion at supine position has been developed to allow the users to exercise and communicate with each other at home. The velocity control performance, muscle activity and the energy consumption while using the developed device were evaluated. It was demonstrated that the developed device reflects the user's subjectivity adequately and the...
Most hospitals in the world do not perform electroencephalograms in the emergency departments due to space, cost, training, and complexity of the equipment and the test. New miniature, low-cost, simple, digital, wireless EEG machines have been developed that solve all four of these inhibiting factors to allow EEG, to be used in emergency departments to evaluate patients presenting with altered mental...
Modern wireless communication technologies offer new possibilities for patient monitoring in hospitals, as well as at home or in outdoor environments. In this paper, we present a wireless system for ECG recordings and real-time analysis of heart rate variability (HRV). The system also makes it possible for distance consultation, for example with a specialist in cardiology, with the help of a WEB-solution
Since the population-aging problem is increasingly affecting the society, health monitoring at home with interactive teleoperation is of interest to researchers and healthcare practitioners. Thus, we develop a low-cost and platform-independent telecare system to support the aged and disable people for long-term health care online monitoring. A trinomial protocol and multi-modal human-machine interfaces...
In Japan, home helpers are employed by hospitals, care companies or the welfare office, and are sent to homes of elderly persons to provide home welfare and care services. The care items for one month are scheduled by the care manager; however, the care items are often changed by request from the client, and the home helpers need to know these changes as soon as possible. The Web-based care-requiring...
A simple system for telemonitoring the daily life of an aged person living alone was developed. The system consists of a current sensor and a pair of computers. The sensor detects changes in the power line current of electrical appliances. The computer at the aged person's end transfers the output signal of the sensor every minute to the computer at the family end via the Internet. In this preliminary...
