The development of pressure sores put patients at a high risk for developing infections and cause costly medical bills. It is important for wheelchair bound patients to constantly adjust positions in order to relieve pressure to decrease their chances of developing a pressure sore. The patient needs to adjust themselves at least every two hours in order to relieve the external pressure that is being...
This paper introduces a novel, open-source middleware framework for communication with medical devices and an application using the middleware named intensive care window (ICW). The middleware enables communication with intensive care unit bedside-installed medical devices over standard and proprietary communication protocol stacks. The ICW application facilitates the acquisition of vital signs and...
This paper proposes a system that could perform real-time monitoring of complex conditions on streaming data from various body sensors within a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). The system enables personal medical applications to be developed using personal electronic devices combined together with sensors in a WBAN. The main techniques developed are the query language which supports windowing capabilities,...
In this paper, the parameters to be measured non- invasively are fetal movement and uterine contractions with the help of novel MEMS based piezoelectric sensor as these may impose stress on the fetus. The recording was performed on 10 pregnant women in the age group of 26-38 weeks of gestation. The sensor shows the good results.
In this paper, we propose to provide a better way to monitor one's cardiac health status given today's array of exercise monitors. Built on top of our existing MobiCare technology and using an adaptation of the Fox and Haskell formula for exercise, we have set up an exercise monitor on the mobile phone that will help an individual achieve a certain goal that he or she wants from doing exercise. It...
Vast quantities of data is sensed from patients located in intensive care units worldwide through physiological monitoring. In recent times the service oriented architectural model has emerged as a mechanism to providing a structured computing approach to support the provision of services. The nature of critical care is such that clinicians provide a service of care, often to patients that are not...
In this paper a reliable single-lead real-time cardiac monitoring algorithm for extremely limited hardware platforms is presented. The algorithm performs robust detection and classification for QRS complexes as well as a trusted recognition method for certain cardiac events including life-threatening arrhythmias. The ECG analyzing software is developed for clinical and home care applications, validated...
