Employment of BSN-based technologies in real world scenarios requires a flexible infrastructure at both hardware and software level. In this paper, we emphasize how the use of SPINE (Signal Processing In-Node Environment), a software framework for BSN, supports the development of heterogeneous health-care applications based on reusable subsystems. One of the main goal of SPINE is to provide a flexible...
Recent advances in the electronics industry and wireless communication have enabled the evolution of innovative application domains. Smaller embedded processors and systems have allowed a new level of mobile communication and interaction in everyday life. In particular, the expansion of broadband wireless services and the advancement of handheld technology have allowed for real-time patient monitoring...
An important factor contributing to the process involved in choosing a rehabilitation intervention is the assessment of its impact on the real life of patients. Therapists and physicians have to infer the effectiveness of rehabilitation approaches from observations performed in the clinical setting and from patients' feedback. Recent advances in wearable technology have provided means to supplement...
Suicidal attempts have a very significant effect on the society, and they also reflect on the efforts of the supporting health care and counseling facilities and the therapist involved. The impact of suicide is further magnified by the needs of persons who attempt suicide multiple times, requiring emergency health care and rehabilitation. Preventing such activities becomes a major task for the support...
A low power, microcontroller based patient bed monitoring system is discussed in this paper. The resistive bend sensor based approach provides an effective low cost alternative for minimizing the harmful effects of bedsores which is prevalent in hospital intensive care units and assisted living environments during rehabilitation. The ZigBee based wireless interface for this pressure detection system...
