A lot of research has been carried out in the field of healthcare monitoring. In recent years, development of patient monitoring system has been emerged as an area of research. In this article, a patient monitoring system is proposed. The proposed framework integrated web services with multiple sensors controlled by Arduino Uno. Therefore, the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) with Rich Internet...
eHealth is the provision of healthcare with the inclusion of telecommunication techniques. This project looks at the construction of a simple device that will be capable of transferring the data of a patient's vital signs to a remote device wirelessly. The necessity of this project is to alleviate the difficulty that is encountered by medical experts in monitoring multiple patients simultaneously...
RFID has been around since World War II but was viewed as too limited and expensive in functionality for most of commercial use. With advancement in technology, cost of system components has reduced and capabilities have increased, making RFID more popular. The development of RFID since the 1970's has been remarkable and many such systems are available online for purchasing. Now-a-days there are sensors...
This study presents the design and development of a wearable ubiquitous healthcare monitoring system using integrated electrocardiogram (ECG), Photoplethysmogratphy(PPG), Skin Temperature and Accelerometer etc. In this design, non-intrusive healthcare system was designed based on WBAN for wide area coverage with minimum battery power to support RF transmission. In this system, WBAN(wireless body area...
Recent developments in off-the-shelf wireless embedded computing boards and the increasing need for efficient health monitoring systems, fueled by the increasing number of patients, has prompted R&D professionals to explore better health monitoring systems that are both mobile and cheap. This work investigates the feasibility of using the ZigBee embedded technology in health-related monitoring...
Patient monitor modules have various inputs for vital function measurement. We can practice many of these measurements with some students in the laboratory of biomedical engineering. However, invasive blood pressure (IBP) measurement demonstration is impossible. This paper is dealing with design and realization of a programmable invasive blood pressure simulator. This device is able to generate programmable...
The clinical applicability of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for noninvasive therapy is today hampered by the lack of robust and real-time monitoring of tissue damage during treatment. The goal of this study is to show that the estimation of local tissue elasticity from shear wave imaging (SWI) can lead to the 2-D mapping of temperature changes during HIFU treatments. This new concept of...
Real-time monitoring of the physical condition of the patients is one of the major challenges faced by hospital authorities nowadays. All the hospitals today have one Patient Monitoring System (PMS) per patient. Also human intervention is needed frequently for critical patients. In this paper we propose a network based Wireless Single PMS (NWSPMS), which can monitor multiple patients to measure various...
Monitoring the impact of sleep deprivation on thermoregulation requires a careful measurement of skin temperature across the human body to have precise knowledge and understanding of the stability of circadian rhythms, the 24-hour cycles of biological activity. However, medical measurements and clinical trials are often carried out in controlled lab settings, which limits the realism and the duration...
This paper is a comprehensive literature review on the Depth of Anaesthesia (DoA) monitoring problem. We first investigate the current clinical practice, then briefly introduce the DoA monitors, finally we analyse and discuss the reliability and accuracy of current DoA assessment practice. In this study we find that most of the responses suppressed by anaestheic agents are not of the central nervous...
There is a strong motivation for the implementation of electronic identification systems and wireless sensors in hospitals. This work presents a sensor enabled passive RFID tag for patient monitorization. Special attention is paid to the analog FE, which has been designed and implemented in a low cost 0.35 μm CMOS standard process. The proposed front-end architecture allows the implementation of power...
Today's technological growth has made ubiquitous health care accessible to all by means of wearable health monitoring system. Such a system is essential for continuous monitoring of physiological signals and to provide early warnings for the chronic illness. The major challenge lies on the selection of processor and transmission mode. This paper highlights on the pilot study of developing ubiquitous...
Vital sensor and wireless information communication technologies play important roles in providing continuous health monitoring systems. The key elements required for the vital sensor device are its simplicity and accuracy, whereas those for the wireless communication tool are its connectivity and comfortability. For a commercially available wireless vital sensor with capability of measuring three-dimensional...
Traditionally monitoring systems for respiratory care are classified into invasive and non-invasive methods. The former refer to measurement systems that penetrate the body, while the latter consider the systems that rest on the skin or those using samples of inspired or expired gases. Among the so called non invasive techniques this technique is based on the measure of temperature at the patients...
This study suggests the method for measuring the BP (blood pressure) which it is one among the important vital sign of the human body with a cuffless and non-invasive. The monitoring of the BP is general to use the physical sensor which it directly contacts with the blood vessel in an operation, but this kind of a method can be impossible in the emergency requiring the rapid treatment. In a situation,...
A wireless wearable physiological parameter monitoring system for home health care is studied in this paper. Based on the wireless wearable physiological parameter monitoring system of human research, we introduced realization of the ZigBee in wearable physiological monitoring system parameter acquisition module.
Several advances have been done in wireless body area networks for bio-monitoring, as confirmed by the fine tuning of ad-hoc standards for networking, controlling and managing a distributed sensor platform around the human body. Efficient wireless networks are becoming commercially available for several applications. In spite of that, sets of “invisible” sensors for monitoring bio-signals are still...
A new kind of wrist-worn health monitoring terminal is developed to realize multi-parameter measurement, wearing facilitates and reliable data transmission. The physiological parameters includes body temperature, pulse rate, breath rate and waveform, blood pressure, electrocardiograph(ECG), electroencephalogram(EEG) and the level of blood glucose real-timely. This terminal is designed by modules,...
A portable system to monitor environmental factors of pulmonary diseases is introduced in this paper. Disease triggers including temperature, humidity and airborne particles are continuously measured in real time. Data is transferred to a handheld device through a wireless body area network (BAN). If target triggers of disease are detected, the system will provide alarms and instructions to the patient...
The concept of wellness mobile by incorporating continuous monitoring of biometrics on wireless handheld devices has been attracting a lot of attention from both industrialists and academia.
