The cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a serious social problem. For solving this problem, we developed WE-CARE system. The use of 7 lead wires helps collecting sufficient ECG data to guarantee the detection accuracy without impairing the mobility of the system 910. While the traditional algorithms face efficiency challenges for the large data, complicated algoirthm and small capacity of wearable devices...
The purpose of this paper is to apply the data mining techniques to discover and predict the recovery duration from physical therapy equipment usage patterns based on a classification system and establish selection rules of physical therapy techniques based on the association rule discovery method to support the decision making for physical therapists in the treatment of shoulder pain patients. The...
In view of the life status mass data collected, Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN) has a problem of limited sampling rate and low encoding efficiency, etc. Under the Nyquist sampling criterion, traditional data encoding way has reached Shannon limit performance, and spectrum efficiency has little room for improvement. So it becomes very urgent to compress the data and reduce communication expenditure....
This paper considers Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) with energy harvesting and develops efficient resource allocation strategies for such networks. In order to provide a sustainable, highquality service as well as dealing with the heterogeneity problem of BSNs, an optimal transmission power and time slots allocation strategy is formulated and solved using Markov Decision Process (MDP) method. The long...
In this paper, we present a portable 7-lead ECG monitoring system. The system consists of ECG acquisition device with analog filtering circuit, wireless transmission module and monitor software. In order to get high quality ECG signal, the analog front-end circuit need to amplify and filter the signal effectively, we designed the corresponding filter to eliminate the major interferences. The microprocessor...
With the development of communication and networking technologies, the telemedicine system has become more and more popular due to its distance unawareness, low cost to the patients, long-term physiological data recording and real-time diagnosis. In order to protect the private information of patients when transmiting data in the telemedicine system, data hiding technique is used by hiding the patient...
Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a promising solution for Healthcare applications. However, how to mitigate the interference between WBANs is still challenging. In this paper, we propose a new method to mitigate the interference between WBANs using geometric programming (GP), which is a special optimization that can be transformed to convex optimization. To make sure that all receivers in WBANs...
We focus on interference mitigation and energy conservation within a single WBAN. We adopt two-hop communication scheme supported by the the IEEE 802.15.6 standard (2012). In this paper, we propose a dynamic channel allocation scheme (DCAIM) to mitigate node-level interference amongst the coexisting regions of a WBAN. At the time, the sensors are in the radius communication of a relay, they form a...
In this paper a non-invasive Electroencephalograph (ECG) monitoring system based on visible light communication is presented. An ECG kit is connected to ardueno board which uses wifi shield to transmit the ECG signal wirelessly to computer. A prototype of visible light communication (VLC) link is used to transmit the ECG signal. The received ECG signal over VLC link is compared with the transmitted...
Due to the particularity of the human body wireless environment, there are no redundant nodes in WBAN and the nodes energy is limited. The design of efficient routing protocol for WBAN is crucial. In this paper, based on the human body signs parameters measurement in the actual situation, the wireless body area network topology model was constructed. By the application of the classic AODV and DSDV...
Fast deploying and networking in a disaster area are of great importance. Firstly, we propose an architecture of Emergency Medical Networks in this paper. The objective of this study is to achieve the optimality of heterogeneous sensor nodes assignment in this network. To obtain the needed coverage, network designers initially need to determine how many sensor nodes should be deployed in the disaster...
With the rapid growth of the medical technologies and constant renewal of medical facilities, electrocardiography (ECG) provides an effective and easy to use means for arrhythmia classification and heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. Most of the existing ECG device have the disadvantage of either poor local signal processing ability or heavily rely on the signal processing ability of remote server...
Fog Computing is a new architecture to migrate some data center’s tasks to the edge of the server. The fog computing, built on the edge servers, is viewed as a novel architecture that provides the limited computing, storing, and networking services in the distributed way between end devices and the traditional cloud computing Data Centers. It provides the logical intelligence to the end devices and...
The aging of population is the grim reality which world is facing in the twenty-first century. At the same time, rates of disability are increasing due to population ageing and increases in chronic health conditions. These bring great challenge to elderly and disabled care in the whole society, since their physiological and pathological characteristics always bring them many inconveniences. In order...
Smart mobile people have a great potential to extend the existing Internet of Things infrastructures by implementing genuine ubiquitous healthcare (U-health) applications, ensuring anywhere and anytime patients connectivity. Through the forwarding of sensing data from person to person until reaching a connected medical server, concrete U-health becomes true with the emerging of future Body-to-Body...
