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...
Telehealth relies on the ability of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to maximize the quality of care provided remotely. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is a key part within telehealth that enables patient to use devices to measure vital signs and sends it to a healthcare professional. Patients usually have multiple devices to measure vital signs. Those devices might be manufactured by...
Early medical care has gained academic attention with the accelerating of aging process and the prevalence of chronic diseases. Intelligent wearable monitoring system used by the ordinary family has broad market application prospect. The portable system using STM32F405 chip and the Beidou navigation. It can collect real-time health parameters and send the coordinates of the user back. MT2511 is used...
Stroke is the primary cause of serious long-term disability in the world. A long period of a rehabilitation program is required for those patients with the function loss of upper limb motor. In order to track the progression of the rehabilitation, the approaches to assessment of upper limb performance is the important task to evaluate the effectiveness of therapies. However, the typical assessment...
In this paper, the system architecture and adherence method for a wearable medicare health and fitness monitoring system mounted shoe is presented. This system includes an integrated modular monitoring circuit that provides for fitness and biomedical information including coordinate tracker, step counter, calorie counter, as well as for biomedical information such as foot oxygen concentration. A commercial...
The 9th International ACM/IEEE Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare (Pervasive Health 2015) showcased a wide variety of technology applications, methods, and studies aimed at understanding how computing applications can help improve healthcare and the general well-being of individuals.
The constant demand of healthcare has led to different technological sectors to consider new mechanisms that facilitate the monitoring of vital signs. This work is in the context of the development of a monitoring system that consist of multiparameter acquisition elements that have a power consumption of 1,5 W. It is a portable device with a size of 66 mm x 20 mm x 70 mm, displays its readings in...
Photoplethysmography (PPG) is one of the prime non-invasive vascular assessment methodology adopted in modern clinical practice. This paper proposes a modification of delta modulation for effective compression of PPG signal for real time measurements and monitoring applications. Based on the energy content and fluctuations, the PPG signal was windowed and categorized into ‘complex’ or ‘plain’ zones...
EEG based monitoring for the purpose of assessing a patient's neurological status is conspicuous and uncomfortable at best. We are analyzing a set of physiological signals that may be monitored comfortably by a wrist worn device. We have found that these signals and machine based classification allows us to accurately discriminate among four stress states of individuals. Further, we have found a clear...
Managing chronic health conditions at home, through the early detection of symptoms and subsequent rapid remedial action will be therapeutically and financially more effective. Unfortunately, this widely agreed upon statement implies a significant adaptation and/or evolution of present healthcare delivery, from a technological and social point of view. Designing reliable, embedded, non-intrusive sensors...
Fall is a major health hazard for the elders when they live independently. Approximately a third of those aged 65 years and over fall each year. An automatic fall detector ensures the best possible chance of a full recovery following a fall. This paper presents new algorithm able to learn, classify and identify falls from data obtained by a multi-sensor monitoring system. The system, that uses a web...
This paper presents an intelligent control approach for Blood Pressure (BP) system using PID-Neural Network (PIDNN). This paper discusses the use of PIDNN to optimize the regulation of Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) through the infusion of Sodium Nitroprusside (SNP). Multi-layer Perception (MLP) is used as Neural Network pattern predictor. Simulation studies based on a sensitive model of MAP shows that...
Tele-home-care systems are becoming more important for patients and society at large. Despite some surveys focusing on medical devices interoperability used on home-care systems, electronic measurements in rehabilitation, configuration of body area networks, a survey and taxonomy of enabling technologies for tele-home-care systems does not exist. This paper presents a survey and taxonomy of the design...
In this paper we propose a design using multiple remotely enhanced hand-computer interaction devices (REHCID) to design a real-time breathing detection system. Due to the restricted detection angle of our previously proposed system, unstable detection can be encountered when patients turn the body over. Our new REHCID placed on both sides of the bed allow the system to detect the patient's breathing...
Large medical conferences offer opportunities for participants to find industry exhibitors that offer products and services relevant to their professional interests. Companies often invest significant effort in promotions that encourage participants to spend time at their stand (e.g. providing free gifts, leaflets, running competitions) and register some contact details. Attendees will use the conference...
Pervasive healthcare technologies are increasingly using novel sensory devices that are able to measure phenomena that could not be measured before. To develop novel healthcare applications that use these largely untested technologies, it is important to have a design process that allows proper exploration of the capabilities of the novel technologies. We focus on the technology-inspired design process...
We describe the NOCTURNAL system which provides Ambient Assisted Living with a focus on night-time support. This paper explains the design principles, the technological infrastructure and the software intelligence which facilitates autonomous assistance in the form of therapeutic interventions.
Persuasive personal monitoring and feedback systems could help patients and clinicians manage mental illness. Mental illness is complex, difficult to treat, and carries social stigma. From a review of literature on bipolar disorder and interviews with bipolar disorder experts, we developed a framework for designing a persuasive monitoring system to support management of the illness. The framework...
As enterprise business process (BP) becomes more dynamic and flexible, business process management system (BPMS) is required to strengthen its capability to monitor the operation of BP. Referring to the monitoring mode from IBM's “WebSphere Business Integration”, this paper proposes the idea of monitoring BP based on process knowledge (PK), that is, utilizing PK extracted from BP to assist process...
