This study attempts to develop and design an occupational exposure declaration and monitoring system software for medical staff with multiple functions and convenient for users, which will be the beneficial supplement of Hospital Information system (HIS). Through investigation and documents research, we try to comprehend the procedure of occupational exposure declaration and monitoring, determine...
Frosts are one of the main risks faced by farmers during the winter and spring seasons. These events can cause significant damage to cultivations and crops. In Chile, these frosts generate significant losses in the agricultural production sector, causing crop losses of an entire year and compromising the income of the following year, especially fruit and wine growers. In this work we developed an...
For reliable control of the cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal systems of the human body must be continuously recorded electro-cardio signal for a long time. Detected and quickly transferred over the wireless channel the most informative pieces of daily electro-cardio signal will allow duty cardiologists for react and provide the necessary medical care to remote cardiac patients. The sequences...
A very important aspect of personalized healthcare is to continuously monitor an individual’s health using wearable biomedical devices and essentially to analyse and if possible to predict potential health hazards that may prove fatal if not treated in time. The prediction aspect embedded in the system helps in avoiding delays in providing timely medical treatment, even before an individual reaches...
Mobile health assistive technologies was developed for remote monitoring of the elders. Developing wearable technologies and methods for solving cognitive impairments is of outmost importance in m-health. In this paper, we develop a mobile solution for health and physical exercises monitoring for the elderly. Conceived for a wide range of users (elders, caregivers, doctors), MR@Old is developed on...
This paper introduces SmartCare, a project revolving around a smart environment especially built to enable aging in place. The paper describes the vision behind SmartCare as well as its translation into a deployed system. The physical incarnation of SmartCare is the SmartCare apartment, an actual apartment in a retirement community. We provide a description the technologies that are deployed in the...
Pulse oximeters use photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals for measurement of oxygen saturation in arterial blood. They measure volumetric changes in the blood flowing through the body, usually extremities such as a finger or an ear lobe. The peripheral pulse signal obtained by transmitted light through the illuminated body extremity, gets modulated by heart synchronous pulse, respiratory activity and...
Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) and stroke are statistically the leading causes of death world-wide. Both diseases deal with various types of cardiac arrhythmias, e.g. premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), ventricular and supra-ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation. For monitoring and detecting such an irregular heart rhythm accurately, we are now developing a very cost-effective ECG monitor,...
The ability to generate computationally compact ECG analysis algorithms is of interest in the field of wearable physiologic monitors. Such remote monitors necessarily have limited on-board energy storage and therefore lack the computational power and physical memory often required for academic study of physiologic waveforms. Herein we evaluate a set of algorithms with markedly different computation...
The normal functioning of a person's health is determined mainly from the measurement of the individual's body temperature and heart rate. In the past, only hospitals had health monitors, which was a huge and fixed monitoring device that was used to know the health status of bedridden patients. These monitoring devices which were only available in the hospitals were constantly on the patient's body...
This paper proposes a remote intelligent medical monitoring network solution. It can make real time acquisition and storage of physiological parameters of patients and send corresponding data to monitoring center. The location of patient can be also tracked by locating technology. The scheme can provide the doctors better methods to diagnose the patient remotely and prompt medical service, which is...
Clinicians lack in robust continuous measurements on important aspects of prescribed home long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as the usage and the wellbeing of the patient whilst using the machine. Consequently, it is challenging to objectively determine if LTOT is beneficial for the patient but also to recognize whether a hospital readmission is likely...
Our main goal is to ease the design of built-in intelligent diagnose algorithms and to develop performant cardiac monitors. First, the most popular methods of generating an ECG (electrocardiogram) signal, used at the moment for testing and maintenance of cardiac monitors, were discussed and reviewed; the method, which proved to be the most performant among all, was selected and software implemented...
This paper explains a Raspberry pi controlled remote monitoring system. Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized single board computer with ARM11 microprocessor. In this study, a system is designed to continuously monitor the Electrocardiogram (ECG) and other vital parameters. This data is stored in a database and can be displayed in a website that can be accessed only by authorized personnel. This idea...
Psychiatric wards in hospitals face the problems of patient absconding and this has caused great concern not only to the healthcare workers but also to the public to a certain extent. The standard and quality of healthcare services are compromised and the safety of public can be placed at risk. One of the main challenges is the high cost to hospitals to automate the tracking of patients. In this paper...
With the development of mobile internet technology and the strengthening of embedded software and hardware technique, people can easily obtain human body physiological data such as ECG, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, blood glucose etc. through intelligent terminals, while how to effectively manage these data has become a major problem. This paper studies the principle of physiological multiple...
The advances in the wearable devices and Artificial Intelligence domains highlight the need for ICT systems that aim in the improvement of human's quality of life. In this paper we present the sleeping tracking component of an activity and sleeping tracking system. We present the sleep quality assessment based on EEG processing and support vector machines with sequential minimal optimization classifiers...
Surveillance of elderly and disabled in their habitat needs acquisition of behavioral information by various interfaces. This paper presents a concept and design of intelligent environment for such users. The proposed solution consists in using sensorized appliances typical to a household, reporting their operation via wireless network. The network collects these data, integrates them with motion...
Modern clinical studies suggest that biofeedback analysis is a highly effective solution for a variety of clinical symptoms ranging from involuntary urination to hypertension as well as assessing somatic awareness of the subject under test by making the virtually invisible really visible. In our study an investigation was carried out through clinical case based approach to analyze the biofeedback...
