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...
Many of the people around us forget to take medication on time. The proposed model of smart medical box is a single board computer based assistive device for people who suffer with short term memory loss. It is an alarm based device that helps in reminding patients about their medication. The use of Internet of Things (IoT) concepts and health sensing technologies make diagnosis easier and convenient...
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...
Medical Cyber-Physical Systems (MCPS) refers to an interconnected, dependable and intelligent system of embedded medical devices used to monitor and control multiple aspects of the patients physiological state. These systems need to handle different type of data based on different types of sensors and other medical devices in order to understand the situation of the patient, make appropriate treatment...
The simplified Partograph is a concise charting mechanism used by skilled birth attendants for recording and communicating the important parameters and developments during the labour process. Compliance and correct plotting of partographs may be significantly improved with the use of technology. This paper reports the development of an Android-based smart phone/tablet application to plot the partograph...
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...
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...
A ubiquitous health care system takes the advantage of portability and small size of wireless sensor nodes to provide remote health care services and real-time health monitoring. A gateway is needed to mediate communication between a local sensor network and remote data consumers. In current implementations of ubiquitous health care systems ZigBee-based sensors are often used to gather vital sign...
With the developing trend of healthcare monitoring instruments becoming miniaturized and intelligent, more and more embedded healthcare monitoring devices are being used in hospitals. It is necessary to develop an integrated management platform for a variety of monitoring data. This paper presents a software application tool to manage multiple physiological parameters monitor data including Holter,...
Real-time tele-monitoring technology is very useful for remotely monitoring patients' vital parameters and for ensuring mobility of both patient and doctor. In this paper a multi-purpose and multi-parametric tele-monitoring system is described. This system is based on the offline automatic extraction of knowledge from databases expressed as a set of IF…THEN rules that are used by a rule-based mobile...
Continuous research in the e-health field aims to develop an increasing number of services targeted to patients, and featuring low costs, high quality and efficiency, personalization and user-control. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) supports ubiquitous healthcare services: in particular, the solution herein proposed focuses on the availability of remote health services at home, designed...
Along with the improvement of sanitary conditions and changes of life style, people begin to pay attention to the modern concept of health promotion and preventive medicine. Therefore, we built an intelligent environment monitoring feedback system to collect data of physical conditions of employees and air conditions of the working environment, displayed the collected data with a real time interface,...
Telehealth systems represent an ICT solution for delivering health services to the patients from a distance (Patient to Doctor/Doctor to Patient systems, P2D and D2P) or facilitating the consultation between the health professionals (Doctor to Doctor systems, D2D). Whether P2D/D2P systems aim at defining an interaction between the two involved figures crossing the boundaries of the hospital, D2D systems...
In this paper, we propose a new on-line monitoring system in intensive care unit (ICU). Two incremental versions of support vector machines (SVM) have been adapted to the current monitoring system. In fact, the monitoring system in ICU have many issues to detect real states of patients namely critical or normal states. It frequently generates false alarms that have bad effects on the working conditions...
More than 30% of the world population have vision defects, for some of which causes are still unclear. Visual health monitoring for detection, prevention, and treatment is possible but still very limited due to limited access to expensive specialized equipment and domain experts. Therefore, it is difficult to provide long-term visual health monitoring for a large population. In this paper, we present...
Databases are indispensable for everyday tasks in organizations, particularly in healthcare units. Databases archive important and confidential information about patient's clinical status. Therefore, they must always be available, reliable and at high performance level. In healthcare units, fault tolerant systems ensure the availability, reliability and disaster recovery of data. However, these mechanisms...
In this paper, we design a wireless home care system with remote monitor database, the system compose by three parts: variety of physiological measuring devices, the embedded smart devices and remote monitor database. The user can use the difference physiological measuring devices obtain their information and store them in the embedded smart devices which could be a smartphone or e-PAD. The doctor...
