IEEE-EMBS is the largest bioengineering society in the world. This paper introduces material about the Society and its benefits, including the EMBS mission, types of EMBS membership, and direct membership benefits such as the EMB Magazine. EMBS governance is also explained, including the new worldwide representational organization for AdCom (Administrative Committee), and recent changes in the Executive...
In this study a telemedicine system based on embedded computer system is presented, which is designed specially for the need of immediate medical treatment in remote areas. In the system embedded Linux is cut down, customized and ported into the monitor terminal. Data interchange between the monitor center and the terminal via Internet and GPRS is introduced. This system which is convenient, portable...
As a patient and recipient of a blood transfusion, it is important for him or her to receive the safest blood possible. Information about the donated blood should be under the track to guarantee the quality of the blood source. In this paper, we present a RFID-based blood information management system that aims at ensuring the quality of the blood and increasing the efficiency of operation management...
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...
Stroke can cause a variety of cognitive disturbances depending on the location of the injury. It is proved by clinic that some specific cognitive training is a safe and effective method for stroke patients who are suffering from cognitive disturbances. In this paper, we designed and implemented a tele-therapy system that based on Internet, so that the patients with cognitive impairment can take the...
Advances and wide acceptance of information and communication technology (ICT) have made development and implementation of Web-based electronic personal health records (PHRs) more feasible than ever before, and previous studies have demonstrated some of its potential and promises. However, this type of ICT-dependent approach inherits its own vulnerabilities of exposing the society to "digital...
The Internet is becoming increasingly accessible and new technologies are enabling the delivery of more features to end users. It is therefore increasingly compelling to develop technology to facilitate the delivery of educational content and computational tools via the Internet. Here we report on the Internet enabling of the CMISS package as a Web browser extension, and its use in a custom online...
Continuously motivating people to exercise regularly is more important than finding a barriers such as lack of time, cost of equipment or gym membership, lack of nearby facilities and poor weather or night-time lighting. Our proposed system presents practicable methods of motivation through a Web-based exercise prescription service. Users are instructed to exercise according to their physical ability...
Wearable technology has been used in various health-related fields to develop advanced monitoring solutions. However, the monitoring function alone cannot meet all the requirements of personal customizing machine-supported exercise that have biosignal-based controls. In this paper, we propose a new wearable unit design equipped with measurement and control functions to support the personal customization...
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...
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...
This paper, based on ARM7 processor and real-time embedded operating system (muC/OS-II), establishes an embedded telemedicine platform ground on LPC2104 and realizes some very popular embedded application technologies such as USB communication, embedded Internet communication, infrared communication, etc. Meanwhile the volume of the hardware is smaller; power consumption is lower; the functions are...
Telemedicine are the application and development of the telecommunication networks. In this study, we try to develop the telemedicine system and to discuss the network application of this system in psychiatric counseling. The preliminary result of this study is that the telemedicine system is more effective than traditional consultation and it can provide teleconsultation service for clients with...
This paper proposes a wireless patient monitoring system which integrates Bluetooth and WiFi wireless technologies. A wireless portable multi-parameter device was designated to acquire physiological signals and transmit them to a local server via Bluetooth wireless technology. Four kinds of monitor units were designed to communicate via the WiFi wireless technology, including a local monitor unit,...
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by blood glucose levels out of normal range due to inability of insulin production. This dysfunction leads to many short- and long-term complications. In this paper, a system for tele-monitoring and tele-management of type 1 diabetes patients is proposed, aiming at reducing the risk of diabetes complications and improving quality of life...
In mass trauma situations, emergency personnel are challenged with the task of prioritizing the care of many injured victims. We propose a trauma patient tracking system (TPTS) where first-responders tag all patients with a wireless monitoring device that continuously reports the location of each patient. The system can be used not only to prioritize patient care, but also to determine the time taken...
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...
DNA sequences are generally very long chains of sequentially linked nucleotides. There are four different nucleotides and combinations of these build the nucleotide information of sequence files contained in data sources. When a user searches for any sequence for an organism, a compressed sequence file can be sent from the data source to the user. The compressed file then can be decompressed at the...
The design and implementation of Web-based examination system constructed by PHP and MySQL is presented in this paper. Three primary parts, including students', teachers' and administrators', are introduced and analyzed in detail. Initial application has demonstrated the system's feasibility and reasonability
In order to reform the traditional teaching methodology and to improve the teaching effect, we developed new teaching system for course "biomedical materials" in our university by the support of the computer technique and Internet. The new teaching system includes the construction of the multimedia courseware and Web-based e-learning courses. More than 2000 PowerPoint slides have been designed...
