The goal of the CARA (Context-Aware Real-time Assistant) healthcare architecture is to enable improved healthcare through the intelligent use of wireless remote monitoring of patient vital signs, supplemented by rich contextual information. One of its applications currently being deployed is the remote live monitoring of a patient by a healthcare professional. The vital signs are monitored using a...
We present a method for improving human segmentation results in calibrated, multi-view environments using features derived from both pixel (image) and voxel (volume) space. The main focus of this work is to develop a low-cost, vision-based system for passive activity monitoring of older adults in the home, to capture early signs of illness and functional decline and allow seniors to live independently...
Confusion, frustration and anxiety are caused by the ineffective communication in healthcare system. Patients and family members usually have a hard time to acquire necessary information in hospitals. The healthcare literacy, a wide range of patient-age population, and the text-only teaching sheets are important factors to block the communication. Therefore, the proposed work presents an innovative...
Growth of the elder population gives rise to the increasing demand of long-term elder-care facilities. Most elders living in such facilities suffer from multiple chronic illnesses. Accompanying these illnesses are slow declines of the elders' physical and mental health. Continuous tracking of the elders' daily activities is required to detect the declines early. To facilitate long-term mobility tracking...
Automated home care uses sensors to report about the well-being of monitored persons. Our complex event processing (CEP) system CommonSens simplifies the work of the application programmers, i.e., those who write the complex queries, by facilitating reuse of queries, sensor instances and environments. We have observed that many automated home care systems focus on detecting alarming behaviour, e.g...
Recent technological advances in miniaturization of wireless portable bio-sensors and the versatility of smart phones have enabled the design and proliferation of continuous mobile health monitoring. A single smart phone is used as a gateway that interconnects sensors and remote servers in many health networking platforms. However, previous implementations lack a thorough assessment of the phone as...
