According to home healthcare requirement of chronic patients, this paper proposes a mobile-care system integrated with a variety of vital-sign monitoring, where all the front-end vital-sign measuring devices are portable and have the ability of short-range wireless communication. In order to make the system more suitable for home applications, the technology of wireless sensor network is introduced...
This paper is focused on the discussion of different trade-offs that frequently arise when selecting the appropriate antenna technology for a wireless sensor for home-care applications, and the implications that every decision represents for the overall design. In order to devise an optimum design strategy, the main methodological concerns are illustrated with the example of a wearable movement monitor...
The rapid escalation of American health care costs compels a new approach to chronic disease. Personalizing chronic disease management can be improved by using biosensors and advanced communication technology. Recent advances in miniature wireless sensors supported by ubiquitous computing have fostered a growth of interest in wellness and illness management based on distributed sensor networks. A...
This paper presents a system based on ambient intelligence (AmI) to foster home care monitoring of senior citizens and chronically ill patients. The most important fact addressed in this research is the development of non intrusive and easy to use sensing devices. According to this, medical tests do not need user collaboration to perform them, neither powering on and off the sensor, starting the measure,...
The face of health care is changing as new technologies are being incorporated into the existing infrastructure. Electronic patient records and sensor networks for in-home patient monitoring are at the current forefront of new technologies. Paper-based patient records are being put in electronic format enabling patients to access their records via the Internet. Remote patient monitoring is becoming...
This work presents a new programming model for sensor networks embedded in the human body which is based on the concept of multi-programming application-oriented software. This model was conceived with a top-down approach of four layers and its main goal is to allow the healthcare professionals to program and to reconfigure the network locally or by the Internet. In order to evaluate this hypothesis,...
This paper describes a wireless behavioral monitoring system equipped with an omnidirectional electric field sensor. The system can be installed by individuals in their residences. It is composed of a sensor circuit, wireless data transmitter, and receiver that is connected to a personal computer for data storage. The sensor circuit has been designed to obtain information on the usage of domestic...
