The VENUS (http://venus.uvic.ca/) and NEPTUNE Canada (http://neptunecanada.ca/) cabled ocean observatories have been envisioned from their inception as underwater extensions of the Internet. Having sensors connected to a network opens up tremendous opportunities, from realtime access to sensor measurements to the interactive control of remote assets. Moreover, with a software system in control, data...
This study designs and proposes a blog-based interactive patientcare system, called BiPS. BiPS provides omni-bearing patient services. It assists families, doctors and nurses to care patient's physiological information using healthcare sensors and to monitor patient's behaviors using the monitoring-based services. BiPS is a three-tier architecture that is composed of BiPS clients, the Web2.0-based...
