In this paper, we overview current products available on the market, patents, and state-of-the-art of research for cloud solutions based on wearable ECG biosensors. Building a medical cloud that uses such sensors motivates us for a 24h healthcare monitoring service. Furthermore, we identify several challenges, which have to be solved to enable a complete solution for a generic medical cloud capable...
This paper describes wireless wearable and ambient sensors that cooperate to monitor a person's vital signs such as heart rate and blood pressure during daily activities. Each wearable sensor is attached on different parts of the body. The wearable sensors require a high sampling rate and time synchronization to provide a precise analysis of the received signals. The trigger signal for synchronization...
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...
Leveraging body area sensor network (BASN) for health care is a very promising application domain for wireless sensor networks. In a typical BASN health care application, usually, bio-sensors and environmental-sensors connect to a local Preprocessing Unit (PU) first, e.g., a smartphone or a laptop, which in turn extracts the meaningful data and performs necessary processing before the PU transmits...
We are developing a BAN (body area network) using a machine measuring human 3D acceleration and electrocardiogram communicating to a PC by wireless during 24-hours. The purpose of our study is human healthy watching to alert to himself (herself) or care staffs by network if his (her) condition is bad, and not to alert if good. Our system estimate a person's bodily movement (walking, running, standing...
Recent miniaturization of ECG sensors and other health monitoring systems potentially allowing remote monitoring of certain diseases in the patients own home. Exploiting the full potential of this technology poses several design challenges for both the miniaturized ECG sensor, as well as the required infrastructure for data transport, storage and diagnosis. This paper proposes an ECG sensor prototype...
Sleep disorders affect over 40 million patients and represent a significant a significant risk factor for many, often life threatening diseases. Technologies available for diagnostics and treatment typically involve the recording of key biomedical signals including ECG, EEG, EMG, SpO2, and respiration. Overnight measurement of such parameters is often compromised by the discomfort imposed by conventional...
Sensor network, in the form of wireless biomedical sensor network (WBSN), composed of a number of biomedical sensor nodes and multihop networking capability that can be deployed for long term and continuous healthcare monitoring. Physiological signals (ECG, EEG etc) will be measured by the biosensors that provide alerts immediately when abnormalities in a patient's physiological condition are detected...
The effectiveness of ECG monitors can be significantly impaired by motion artefact, which can cause misdiagnoses, lead to inappropriate treatment decisions, and trigger false alarms. However, it is difficult to separate the noise from bio-signal due to its frequency spectrum overlapping that of the ECG. In this paper, we developed a wireless multi-sensor device for physiological signal monitoring,...
Smart Clothing is a project that combines research in textiles materials and wireless sensor and actuator networks in the context of human body monitoring with statistical methods for the data analysis and treatment. This project aims mainly to aid in the monitoring of the foetal movement in the last four weeks of pregnancy. Besides the integration of sensors in the garment there will be needed a...
