Wireless Sensor Networks are deployed in different fields of application to gather data on the monitored environment. The Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) is a wireless sensor network designed to monitor a human body vital and environment parameters. The design and development of such WBSN systems for health monitoring have been motivated by costly healthcare and propelled by the development of...
Obesity is one of the rise and among the top health risk factors in the world affecting people of all ages. It can lead to many problems including increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, functional limitations, and disabilities which adversely affect the social and physical abilities of the obese person in daily affairs. While the rising trend of obesity in adults is a serious problem,...
In critical medical emergency situations, wireless body area network (WBAN) equipped health monitoring systems treat data packets with critical information regarding patients’ health in the same way as data packets bearing regular healthcare information. This snag results in a higher average waiting time for the local data processing units (LDPUs) transmitting data packets of higher importance. In...
Internet Of Things (IoT) is one of the major topics in computer science. The connection of IoT to applications over Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is common in order to propose practical solutions. Simultaneously, games are known to increase interest and motivation among students when they are designed with pedagogic intent. Moreover, having fun while learning is of great interest to dyslexic children...
This paper describes a portable framework to support augmented reality applications with user context information. It combines user's body responses with a virtual world by monitoring user's physical activity and vital signs in order to reflect real body status in a virtual world. In this paper we present a design of our portable vital signs monitoring framework, which can be applied to support physiological...
The authors investigate the feasibility of using modern interactive games to help improve the quality of life of the elderly whether they are living in their own homes or in aged care facilities. Ultimately the aim is to integrate such technologies into their prototype health monitoring system called ReMoteCare, a wireless sensor network based system. It is hoped that a series of interactive exercises...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a recent technological advancement in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). It has a large number of applications in the health sector, for example, the telemonitoring of human psychophysical data, tracking and drug administration in hospitals. In this paper we present a novel framework using body area WSNs and gaming to improve a patient's physical health. The...
This paper presents a sport analysis system (SPA - Sport Performance Analyzer), consisting of a high resolution video system together with a wireless sensor network for collecting position data and physiological data of sport players during training or competition. The combination of the two data streams provides a new performance analysis and visualization solution for indoor team sports.
