In this paper, we study how mobile computing and wireless technologies can be explored to provide effective ubiquitous healthcare services. Instead of reinventing the wheels, we make use of smartphones, off-the-shelf components, and existing technologies in ubiquitous computing (i.e. wireless and mobile positioning technologies, and data acquisition techniques and processing via sensors) to develop...
The problem under study consists of improvement in health care system using cloud. We passionately dedicated to help medical fraternity to find health status of vital organs of the patient's body at early stage that support effective treatment by introducing innovative and high quality hand carried non invasive health care systems and devices. Cloud based Health Care is the integration of cloud computing...
Recent advances in communications technologies and embedded systems have allowed the development of remote health monitoring systems. There are different approaches depending on the available measurements and the communication system used. In this paper an activity monitoring system is proposed in order to detect falls and/or faints of the user. The feature that distinguishes this system from other...
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...
This paper describes a highly mobile collaborative patient-centric, self-monitoring, symptom recognition and self intervention system along with a complementary clinical nursing tool to aid in collaborative patient/clinician chronic cardiac disease management. Our system is composed of a mobile smart phone and wearable sensor suite linked through blue tooth and cell phone technology to a backend data...
Deploying state-of-the-art technologies is vital and inevitable in assistive healthcare to cope with emerging services such as remote monitoring, collaborative consultation, and electronic health record. Grid computing has succeeded somewhat in enabling the sharing of resources across organizations but has not been deployed widely due to its complex implementation and interface. Cloud computing overcomes...
Personal disease management and prevention are essential for promoting the healthy community. How to establish the health promotion environment becomes an attractive topic in nowadays. In this paper, we investigate the approaches of patient monitoring and care under the cloud-based telecare system. By considering the scenarios for fixed and mobile users, the cost-effective health promoting methods...
HomeML is an XML-based format for the exchange and storage of data within smart home environments. It was originally proposed as a means of solving the issues caused by the heterogeneous nature of data recorded within such environments. In our current work we have extended upon the concepts of homeML and have subsequently developed an improved format to support the storage and exchange of sensory...
Nowadays, Heart related diseases are on the rise. Cardiac arrest is quoted as the major contributor to sudden and unexpected death rate in the modern stress filled lifestyle around the globe. A system that warns the person about the onset of the disease earlier automatically will be a boon to the society. This is achievable by deploying advances in wireless technology to the existing patient monitoring...
Tele-health is an inter-disciplinary area where the delivery of health, medical information and services over large and small distances is possible by combining electronic information with communication technologies. Deaths from cardiovascular diseases have decreased substantially over the past two decades, largely as a result of advances in acute care and cardiac surgery. These developments have...
In this paper indoor wireless Infrared (IR) technology for healthcare monitoring is studied. Monitoring provides a continuous and reliable vital sign measurement to secure patient staying in the hospital. Considering that patient moving is inevitable, we focus on a mobile IR channel based on diffuse propagation. A model of mobile channel is developed through the study of statistical distributions...
The concept of wellness mobile is a novel mobile service wherein wireless handheld devices such as cell phones are equipped with a wellness monitoring application, thereby enabling real-time self-wellness monitoring by the cell phone user. The wellness mobile will provide a safe and protective environment for an increasing cell phone user-population to help combat anti-wellness factors such as stress,...
There is currently an international trend to involve computer and Internet in medical record. Electronic Medical Record (EMR) hold great promise for improving quality of patient care, but there are many limits to EMR adoption. We propose a technology that would overcome this limits, a single instrument that include the drug trolley and workstation computer. To asses the benefit of the introduction...
While thinking about potential new user groups for mobile devices one can notice that the world largest clusters with low penetration of devices are people from developing countries. In the developed countries the largest groups are children and older generation people. Driven by different factors the healthcare and medical applications might create real breakthrough in demand for the new mobile devices...
The advancement in Tele-healthcare and communication technologies, in last decade, has given rise to remote healthcare services. Today, existing Tele-healthcare approaches either extending services in limited zones as Private Area Network (PAN) or offering the limited healthcare services in wider areas using Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) & remote facilitation centers. Existing healthcare services...
To address the issue of increasing health care costs and overcrowded care giving institutions, there is an increasing focus on the use of mobile technology and biological sensors in developing better Tele-health systems. Remote monitoring of cardiac activity is a central endeavor of Telemedicine. This article describes the implementation and evaluation of the performance of an electronic health ECG...
With the advancement of communication technology, it is possible to integrate heterogeneous data repositories form the diverse data source. At present most of current public health information systems are lacking the support of on spot dynamic data uploading, visualization, analyzing and decision making. It is essential to integrate public health information system with the geospatial data repositories...
Remote ambulatory monitoring is widely seen as playing a key part in addressing the impending crisis in health care provision. We describe two mobile health solutions, one developed in the Netherlands and one in Australia. In both cases patients' biosignals are measured by means of body worn sensors which communicate wirelessly with a handheld device. Alarms and biosignals can be transmitted over...
With the increasing number senior citizens, E-health is targeted for home use with the special requirements of being usable in everyday life and low cost. A wireless sensor network application is proposed here for 24 hour constant monitoring without disturbing daily activities of elderly people and their caretakers. In the system proposed, both fixed and body (mobile) sensors are used. Since not every...
With the Windows Phone 7 Microsoft will release a new mobile operating system this fall. By displaying ECG recordings and vital signs on this new platform it could be shown that devices with the new mobile operating system can be used as mobile monitoring units. Due to their multiple wireless communication capabilities they can be useful for the mobile transmission of physiological data to telemedicine...
