Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the major mental disorders in terms of neurodevelopment brain functions. The three types of symptoms which Autistic patients exhibit are: social development, difficulty in communication and unusual behavior. Unfortunately, based on the nature of ASD, it cannot be diagnosed through the help of applications. However, applications can be a tremendous help in monitoring...
This paper deals with the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) problem. The main objective is to limit it by controlling the main reasons that may lead to it. Sudden infant death syndrome is the death without specific reason of a healthy newborn, usually during sleep. Although the causes are unknown, SIDS may be related to abnormalities in the infant's brain that controls breathing and arousal from...
The work is dedicated to the implementation of information system for monitoring the quality of the road surface condition, and the development of software to interact with the system and the network of mobile devices for data collection. The architecture of the prototype of a hardware device intended for collecting statistical data on specialized transport is proposed. The results of the prototype...
Background: Mobile Personal Health Records (mPHRs) are mobile applications that allow organizing and saving the patients' health data in order to ease their management and access for both patients and doctors. Objective: This study aims to evaluate, based on ISO/IEC 25010 quality standard, the software quality of mPHRs for pregnancy monitoring. Method: An External quality evaluation was carried out...
The recent increase of fine dust levels has resulted in substantially harmful effects on human health. This paper proposes an easily accessible and cost-efficient dust monitoring system that retrieves fine dust levels within a local area. An Arduino-based IoT device is connected to a fine dust sensor and provides dust-level data to a mobile application in real time. The proposed system provides new...
Nowadays technology plays a major role which covers not only health-care but also in keeping track, recording and communicating reports. Regular monitoring of health condition is mandatory to stay healthy. With the advancement of technology in daily life remote health monitoring systems is emerging with it. In this paper, a real-time heart monitoring system is developed considering the ease of application,...
Worldwide the number of diabetes patient is increasing and the rate is alarming in countries with low and middle income. Medication of a diabetes patient still costly which leads to high mortality in developing and low income countries. Considering the fact that diabetes is a non-curable disease, prevention and management is a big deal. However, proper lifestyle management requires awareness, knowledge...
Design and implementation of smart home app is one of Internet-of-Things (IoT) topic which need to be explored more. Its major challenges are about capability on automatic adjustment with various operating system (OS), simple, efficient, compact and interactive. One of the most important issue is the battery consumption. Hence, this research aims is to develop an Android based low-power mobile application...
Arowana is a kind of fish which requires routine and patience maintenance techniques, particularly in terms of feeding and conditioning the water in aquarium which is quite specific. Lack of proper maintenance may affect the physical growth of arowana. It has been built a system to monitor and maintain the arowana, called Automatic Arowana Raiser (AURORA). So that the fishes can be monitored and the...
Applications in Smart City context are improving the quality of life of citizens through several technological interactions. These interactions can be also used to relate the citizens' emotions to city's areas. Thus, the main objective of this work is to present a smart phone application that analyzes the citizens' emotions and the relations between these parameters and different city's areas. Daily...
E-health applications are methods used by medical practitioners to assess and follow their patients' mental and physical conditions. They may also provide feedback to patients and help them to change their behavior. Our research project aims to propose a mobile application (app in short) for suicide prevention. The principle is to develop a connected tool used by the patient to report about his/her...
Nowadays, in any airborne platform like Fighters, helicopter or a transport aircraft there are thousands of sensors which are used to measure various parameters (temperature, level, pressure, positions and more) and the results are then conveyed through the wires to the on board computers that process them. Therefore, the interconnections of multiple sensors results in a great amount of cables (normally,...
According to the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (WCIOM)i, 35% of Russian adults reported smoking in 2014, twice the amount of smokers in the United States in 2013, according to the CDC" and 385,000 people each year die from tobacco-related illnessesiii. The key focus of this paper is to share the experience and lessons learnt from the implementation of mobile tools to control and prevent...
Children with learning disabilities require the supervision of special expert teachers during their learning process. The recent years, educational pieces of software for students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) were developed. The problem of using such applications is twofold. First, there is no solution for distance supervising those students...
Nowadays, mobile devices become more and more powerful and affordable. This is the reason why, side by side with the evolution of smart phones, the applications for those devices have also evolved. One type of applications that are widely used almost daily are the ones that help tracking the user's location. We propose a collaborative mobile application that can help a group of users doing outside...
Alcohol and illicit drug abuse has become a major problem in recent years. According to US Census, there are approximately 40 million teenagers between the age of 10–19, and 20% of them have used an illegal substance at least once in their lifetime. Therefore, by extrapolation, there are potentially 8 million drug abuse cases across the board. This opens up a major requirement for drug monitoring...
This work is focused on the development of a new management system for building and home automation that provides a fully real time monitor of household appliances and home environmental parameters. The developed system consists of a smart sensing unit, wireless sensors and actuators and a web-based interface for remote and mobile applications. The main advantages of the proposed solution rely on...
In this automated world, the comfort over handling of any kind of device has become possibly the easiest factor everywhere, having the similar aspect of building comfort zone, a system is designed for the evolution of automation in gardening process. This paper proposes a novel gardening system with automates the working of garden tool in an efficient manner reducing the human effort and reduction...
Several personal healthcare monitoring systems have been proposed to target somatic diseases and specific mental illness. This paper reports on the re: Mind system, which is a helpful tool that supports the treatment of people diagnosed with bipolar disorder. We developed the system as a hybrid mobile application to help bipolar patients self-monitor a set of parameters that are known to affect their...
Introduction: Recent development in digital technology has raised the interest of many researchers in implementing technology in the domain of m-health to provide better service to patients. Capecitabine, an oral chemotherapeutic agent causes several side effects which need to be monitored to avoid severe health consequences in patients. Methodology: A multidisciplinary team of pharmacists, clinicians...
