Wearable health-monitoring system is a leading technology, especially in enabling the non-invasive diagnosis of vital functions of the human body. The combined information obtained from such systems can either be relayed directly to any health-monitoring organization in the case of crises or can be logged and analyzed as a part of preventive health measures. With the increasing population density...
Nowadays, the use of Electrocardiogram (ECG) as a detection tool of the condition of human heartbeat is still considered difficult. So, the idea of implementing this sensor is to enhance the quality of service and to minimize the cost of using and maintaining by determining the best way in implementing and monitoring ECG sensor. This research proposes a novel approach to observe the condition of human...
Arrhythmia is caused by improper and irregular sinus rhythm or heartbeats. In order to diagnose cardiac arrhyth- mia, electrocardiogram (ECG) beat classification and analysis is very necessary. The efficiency and accuracy of any classification model highly depends on selecting the most relevant features. The aim of this study is to classify different arrhythmic beats with a reduced set of relevant-only...
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...
In recent years, Personalized, Predictive, Preventive, and Participatory health care have become more than just buzzwords. Silicon is playing an important enabling role in this gradual, but certain revolution of our healthcare system: Silicon will become more essential, in view of the many challenges in realizing ubiquitous monitoring, real-time diagnostics, and patient-centric therapies. By reviewing...
Today hospitals are equipped with many electronic transmitting devices, which results in electromagnetic interference that may impair wireless transmissions between medical devices. On the other hand, reliable and continuous collection via wireless communications of patient vital signs such as blood pressure and flow, core temperature, ECG, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is crucial for making...
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...
This paper investigates methods to enhance the reliability of an ultra-wideband transmit-only (UWB Tx-only) sensor system. UWB Tx-only system uses asynchronous burst transmission, where each individual sensor transmits periodically without prior knowledge of other users and the channel condition. The application of UWB Tx-only sensor system for wireless body area network (WBAN) in a single user and...
Critically ill new born babies admitted at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are extremely tiny and vulnerable to external disturbance. Smart Jacket proposed in this paper is the vision of a wearable unobtrusive continuous monitoring system realized by body sensor networks (BSN) and wireless communication. The smart jacket aims for providing reliable health monitoring as well as a comfortable...
Personal health status is becoming a matter of concern while pressure of work growing gradually in everyday life, in the meantime, the ageing population needs more attention. Thanks to many challenging problems of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) solved, exploring work of human body monitoring based on WSNs achieved great progress, we called it wireless body sensor networks(BSNs). In this paper, we...
