In order to achieve the goal of the efficient and more productive education for university students, this study has presumed as the first step toward the goal that the maintenance of students' health consciousness to a certain level is a bottom line. Since wristband-type wearable devices, one of IoT (Internet of Things) devices are getting popular on campus, this study has implemented a monitoring...
Fall-related injuries of elderly people have become a major public-health burden resulting in direct physical, physiological and financial costs to the surfer and indirect societal costs. Automated fall detectors play a central role in reducing these damages and in supporting safety and independency of the seniors. Typically, automated fall detection devices can send real time notifications to the...
As the number of devices (things) connected to the Internet (Internet of things: IoT) is growing, achieving robust security and privacy (S&P) is becoming increasingly challenging. With the heavy use of medical things (MT), the S&P in the medical domain poses a serious issue that continues to grow. Due to the criticality and sensitivity of the data in the healthcare domain, ensuring...
The Ambient intelligence (AmI) paradigm refers to electronic environments which are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. Queue systems are practically used in various institutions and commercial enterprises constituting a challenge for the intelligent environments in smart cities. The management of the customer flows guarantees elimination or reduction of the queues as well as the economic...
Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are a major concern. They are responsible for 35% of deaths and for costs of billions of dollars worldwide. Prevention of CVDs has become a global priority. Comprehensive use of wearable devices operating in the context of Internet-of-Things (IoT) paradigm is the key to monitor, diagnose and treat CVDs. Most of the previous approaches propose wearables only for non-invasive...
Urine output is deemed very important by Physicians for diagnosis of many diseases like Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) etc. Until now, in hospitals, urine output is measured using a container having the measurement scale on it from which the nursing staff notes down the readings hourly. This is a very time consuming practice and may have adverse effect on the diagnosis...
Proposals and some implementations of Internet of Things (IoT) systems for healthcare are described. Implications of current European Union legislation, the new General Data Protection Regulation, for the security and reliability of healthcare IoT systems and for the privacy of users of these systems are presented. Analytics of healthcare IoT data for the requirements of evidence based healthcare...
After briefly discussing the loT and Cyber physical device main features, the application of wearable devices was examined. The constrains of this class of application are in the greatest interest of the researchers and enterprises for the interested in many possible uses of it. The Apulia Region has issued a call for proposals for “Innonetwork sostegno alle attività di R&S per lo sviluppo di...
Fog computing is considered as the most promising enhancement of the traditional cloud computing paradigm in order to handle potential issues introduced by the emerging Interned of Things (IoT) framework at the network edge. The heterogeneous nature, the extensive distribution and the hefty number of deployed IoT nodes will disrupt existing functional models, creating confusion. However, IoT will...
Proactive monitoring of one's health could avoid serious diseases as well as better maintain the individual's well-being. In today's Internet of Things (IoT) world, there has been numerous wearable technological devices to monitor/measure different health attributes. With the increasing number of attributes and wearables, it becomes unclear to individuals which ones they should be using. The aim of...
This paper present a wearable platform, for cardiac signal monitoring, developed by using conductive threads into a cloth article. For reading the human body, impedance variations were used flexible electrodes developed for the wearable ECG platform. The dry ECG electrodes have been developed by knitting technology. The electrodes have been integrated into the textile assembly together with the electronics...
The abundance of activity trackers and biosignal sensors as well as the evolution of IoT and communication technologies have considerably advanced the concept of Quantified-Self. Nowadays there are several frameworks and applications that realize the concept, focusing though strictly on specific areas, from daily use to professional activities such as sport and healthcare. This work proposes a versatile,...
The paper reports an Internet of Thing (IoT) based health monitoring and tracking system for soldiers. The proposed system can be mounted on the soldier's body to track their health status and current location using GPS. These information will be transmitted to the control room through IoT. The proposed system comprise of tiny wearable physiological equipment's, sensors, transmission modules. Hence,...
Ageing populations and the increase in chronic diseases all over the world demand efficient healthcare solutions for maintaining well-being of people. One strategy that has drawn significant research attention is a focus on remote health monitoring systems based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This concept can help decrease pressure on hospital systems and healthcare providers, reduce healthcare...
Respiration rate is monitored in most diseases, especially ones like sleep apnea and respiratory arrest. However, most devices available for monitoring are expensive, fragile and often need trained staff for operation. For obvious reasons, constantly monitoring the patient's breathing rate is also not feasible and our proposed module tends to modify this scenario. The hardware module uses a thermistor...
Objectives: Post hospitalization care of a patient treated for critical illness, for instance cardiac arrest has been regarded as imperative. Nevertheless, it has become inevitable to skip follow-ups by the patients themselves. Method: This paper aims at designing a system which continuously monitors the health of the patient despite the patient being busy with his routine. An application is developed...
Now-a-days health problems like cardiac failure, lung failures & heart related diseases are arising day by day at a very high rate. Due to these problems time to time health monitoring is very essential. A modern concept is health monitoring of a patient wirelessly. It is a major development in medical arena. Thus paper based on the monitoring of the patient that is done by the doctor continuously...
The rapid advancement of wearable devices and smartphones, allowed practitioners and specialists to keep track of physical, biological and behavioral activities. Nowadays, this self tracking, a.k.a. quantified self (QS), is widely used in big data science due to the large volume of data being generated from these devices. The wearable devices that are being used today for self-tracking can collect...
Medicines are the primitive solution for the prevention and cure for most of the diseases. Many risky diseases can be cured and prevented with the use of proper medication. The main objective of our proposed system, is to ensure a user friendly design that the patients can use as a reminder alert to take their daily medications on time. A wearable device is designed which is used to monitor the heartrate...
Several technologies—some new, some familiar—are being used to identify, authenticate, and track people on the go. Human tagging offers many novel benefits but also raises serious privacy concerns, and the laws, regulations, and policy guidelines regarding its practice are inconsistent and unevenly applied.
