Hibernation is a unique metabolic adaptation employed by several animal species for survival where its study would further enhance our understanding of metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and obesity. As a primate animal with close genetic ties to humans, the recent discovery of hibernation in dwarf lemurs of Madagascar has attracted the attention of researchers. Traditional recording systems require...
To keep healthcare costs under control, a high-level of medication adherence, or compliance with medication regimen, must be achieved. In this paper, we show how wireless technologies can be used to improve medication adherence. More specifically, we present the design, operation, and evaluation of a wireless medication system, termed Smart Medication Management System (SMMS). We also present multiple...
More and more, daily stress is making place in our life. Lack of physical activity, lack of psychical and mental relaxation is lowering our resistance to the stimuli, perturbing our internal harmony and can be a cause for serious diseases. As response, our body reflects the stress as different physiological changes, which can be measured and monitored. One of the changes that appears is in Pulse Wave...
Rapid advances in wireless communication devices and systems had and continue to have a significant impact on the healthcare industry. One important application is to monitor patient's health status anytime and anywhere without restricting the patient's movement as a result of being tied down through cables to monitoring equipment. Through the miniaturizations of sensors and the use of wireless interface...
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...
