In this article, we focus on the complementary role of watermarking with respect to medical information security (integrity, authenticity ...) and management. We review sample cases where watermarking has been deployed, we conclude that watermarking has found a niche role in healthcare systems, as an instrument for protection of medical information, for secure sharing and handling of medical images...
The implementation of digital watermarking technology in healthcare applications is still in its infancy; however, the benefits of exploring this technology towards secure and efficient health data management are steadily propagated and realized by the research community. The paper presents the architecture of a watermarking software development kit (SDK), which provides multiple watermarking functionality...
A major problem among the elderly involves falling. The recognition of falls from video first requires the segmentation of the individual from the background. To ensure privacy, segmentation should result in a silhouette that is a binary map indicating only the body position of the individual in an image. We have previously demonstrated a segmentation method based on color that can recognize the silhouette...

A novel image capture and retrieval system has been developed for use in a range of telehealth applications in the home and in residential care facilities. The system is based around the JPEG 2000 standard and uses the PTP protocol for image capture from any high resolution digital camera and the Kakadu suite of JPEG2000 utilities to serve the collected images via a proxy server over any available...
This work presents a new approach for classification and retrieval of echocardiographic images from textual information of the anatomical structures and diagnosis features. These textual attributes will be acquired from the electronic medical report generated in an integrated healthcare environment. The medical report is provided by a specialist in the area during the analysis of the medical image...

Cigarette smoking remains the principal source of preventable disease in the United States. Although most tobacco companies have developed filtered cigarettes to reduce the levels of some toxins, smokers have adapted their inhalation patterns to compensate for these newer "light" cigarettes. We describe a new system designed to unobtrusively monitor such elements of smoking behavior. The...
