The paper describes one such effort which distinguishes itself from the rest by considering and describing a system with true commercial potential and thus significant social impact. Promising...
To help keep seniors in their homes while maximizing the goal of remote monitoring relentlessly, we opted for a remote monitoring system based around a so-called smart camera and a wireless transmission system between the patient's residence and a center for medical expertise. We know that the rise in body temperature is a convincing and reliable indicator of most viral infections in humans. To address...

One of the most prominent type of security attacks faced by these systems, according to Mitre Corporation, are SQL Injection Attacks (SQLIA). In this paper, we examine different approaches...
In this paper, we propose a new on-line monitoring system in intensive care unit (ICU). Two incremental versions of support vector machines (SVM) have been adapted to the current monitoring system. In fact, the monitoring system in ICU have many issues to detect real states of patients namely critical or normal states. It frequently generates false alarms that have bad effects on the working conditions...
