Triage on the battlefield is a very challenging task. Life of the wounded soldiers depends on the efficiency of this process and there is still lack of supporting solutions. This paper presents a new approach for using Internet of Military Things in combat triage. We propose an ontological approach to evaluate soldiers' health state and information framework which allows first responders and commanders...
The recent advancements in technology and the availability of the Internet make it possible to connect various devices that can communicate with each other and share data. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new concept that allows users to connect various sensors and smart devices to collect real-time data from the environment. However, it has been observed that a comprehensive platform is still missing...
Distributed small-scale electronics for IoT applications are on the rise. Power delivery for such electronics requires innovative design techniques to improve energy efficiency. This paper summarizes energy delivery challenges for IoT devices and discusses several design techniques for efficient power delivery units. Such design solutions cover challenges like energy harvesting from very low input...
The basic aim to provide Health care is only to extend the life span of human beings. Human beings are suffering from various factors such as aging, chronic diseases, disability, etc. Health care applications include remote monitoring of patients, absence monitoring of patients in ICU and connecting doctors with remotely operated patients which helps doctors to diagnose one's health easily and in...
We present design and implementation of CyPhyS+, a comprehensive, low-cost and standard complaint Cyber Physical System for remote health monitoring of elderly staying in old age homes. It is an end-to-end 6LoWPAN based healthcare system, which provides reliable and secured medical data acquisition, on the fly medical data analytics and visualization in real-time. It is designed for low power operations...
Access to quality healthcare is a right of every individual, however, a large part of rural population in India do not have access to same. This is particularly acute among the tribal community who are a marginalized section of the society. This paper is based on the case study of one such community in Wayanad district of Kerala. A tele-consulting system through rural health centre is proposed in...
This paper describes a perspective on medical information integration as implemented by the Portuguese Program TICE.Healthy. The eight subprojects that integrate TICE.Healthy share a common database for medical data, and exchange data using standard formats. Because the subprojects deal with data of different nature, strategies were developed to allow the effective integration of this data. This paper...
The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is a hot research topic which enables all kinds of devices to connect together and share information seamlessly. IEEE 802.15.4 Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks (LoWPAN) and IPv6 over LoWPAN (IETF 6LoWPAN) defines standards and protocols for resource constrained Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is an emerging application...
In this paper, we present the experimental results and evaluation of the Smart Box stimulation device for medical applications using a P2P system which is based on JXTA-Overlay. The Smart Box is integrated with our P2P system as a useful tool for monitoring and controlling patients activities. We found by experimental results that by Smart Box we can check the patient's situation. We carried out experiments...
AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) is a confederation of technologies aimed at providing improved user interaction with web-based applications. While AJAX provides an improved user experience, it also comes with its baggage of problems. The lack of formal semantics makes AJAX applications difficult to build, debug, understand, and validate. Different component technologies of AJAX (e.g., XMLHttpRequest...
The paper presents a new system used for patient telemonitoring. The system is for ambulatory use and the physician has the possibility to monitor the patient state. The patient health state is measured by means of several dedicated wireless sensors, which values are saved into a local database. All new values that the local database stores in are periodically sent to the physician server and displayed...
In this paper, we present the experimental results and evaluation of the Smart Box stimulation device for e-learning and medical applications in a P2P system which is based on JXTA-Overlay. The Smart Box is integrated with our P2P system as a useful tool for monitoring and controlling learners or patients activities. We found by experimental results that by Smart Box we can increase the learner's...
In this paper, it's presented a Java application development for the acquisition and management of information about vital signs (blood présure, heart and respiratory frequency and oxygen saturation in blood) of a patient, to be showed in a computer and sent through Internet, allowing specialist doctors to monitor their patients remotely by the net, in real time, so they can give indications to personnel...
To enable remote monitoring and diagnosis of patients located far from medical facilities, a prototype Internet based telemedicine system is developed. The developed telemedicine system establishes an audio-visual connection as well as a data path from the patient's home to the medical personnel's office through a web browser interface. A remote controlled wireless camera installed on the patient...
Role provisioning is an essential yet complex aspect of the design of virtual organisations. This paper addresses an even more complex scenario in telecare. Here the roles may be doctor, nurse, carer, etc. And they must be enabled to participate in monitoring remote care-receivers via the internet, using their professional expertise and skills, with access to online-resources. We show that the complexity...
The current health care system faces new challenge: increasing aging population, growing health cost, and mobile life. We present a kind of network architecture for Health Care Monitoring. This network named HCMNet integrates isolated wireless sensor networks (WSNs) into internet. Each WSN composed of health care sensors and one mesh router operates as a mobile ad-hoc network. Sensors can move in...
A case study of security risk analysis of a wireless body area network for remote health monitoring as a after measure for deploying security and privacy features is introduced in this paper. The target system has a scalable platform that requires minimum human interaction during setup and monitoring. The core components of the system include: (i) biosensor/transceiver pairs, (ii) hardware modules...
The demographic structure is changing in many countries which leads to “aging societies”. This introduces several new challenges, e.g., for provisioning of healthcare. Many research projects try to address some of the upcoming technical issues. In this paper we delineate the integration of a complex OSGi-based “Multi-Services-Home-Platform (MSHP)”, designed for versatile healthcare and monitoring...
The aim of the study is to design a platform for tele-health monitoring system. This system will achieve the vital signs, such as blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate or blood oxygen, of patients, who need to be continuously monitored, with medical devices. This device will transmit the data to a clinical center using Internet. The data will be monitored through a web interface, necessary...
This paper presents the design of a complete portable package for a low cost embedded programmable ECG measurement and monitoring system implemented by a fast algorithm in detecting ECG characteristics points. This proposed system is expected to monitor the electrical activity of heart of the patient under critical care more conveniently and accurately for diagnosing which can be interfaced with computer...
