The past years has seen the emergence and fast growing of various wearable devices, such as smart watches, wrist bands, rings, glasses, jewelry, garments, etc. Although wearable devices have a wide usage scope, healthcare is one of the most promising field which is being exploited by a number of big enterprises and research institutes. However, existing healthcare related wearable products usually...
Purpose: sedentary lifestyles have resulted in an increasing number of people who are at increased risk of various conditions and diseases, including overweight, obesity, and metabolic syndromes. Our objective was to systematically record the daily life journal on a platform to increase the self-awareness and improve the sedentary lifestyle and to assist clinicians in understanding and facilitating...
Good eating habits are important for maintaining a healthy life and preventing the lifestyle-related disease epidemic. Researches about menu recommendation or diet planning are thus attracting much attention recently. A key factor toward a successful diet planning is an individual's food preference instead of dogmatic nutrition pattern since it is unlikely that an individual would accept the meal...
In this paper, we developed a wireless blood pressure monitoring system which provides a useful tool for users to measure and manage their daily blood pressure values. This system includes an ARM-based blood pressure monitor with a ZigBee wireless transmission module and a PC-based management unit with graphic user interface and database. The wireless blood pressure monitor can measure the blood pressure...
In recent years, personal health management has been interested to researchers and healthcare practitioners. Recording and analyzing physiological variations in ordinary life could be especially useful to manage health problems and to care individuals. It is widely pointed out that various vital signs are important indicators used to evaluate the wellness of physical bodies. In this study, an Intelligent-Mamdani...
Wearable health-monitoring systems (WHMS) promise to revolutionize health care by providing real-time unobtrusive monitoring of patientspsila physiological parameters through the deployment of several on-body and even intra-body biosensors. Although several technological issues regarding WHMS still need to be resolved, in order for them to become more applicable in real-life scenarios, it is expected...
Implementation of a mobile phone-based monitor for women's healthcare is described in this paper. The implementation was realized in the BREW programming language, and used a KDDI mobile phone and a tiny wearable body temperature sensor. The temperature inside clothing during sleep is measured continuously and automatically by a wearable temperature sensor device. The temperature data are accumulated...
This paper describes a new approach for collecting and sharing personal health and wellness information. The approach is based on a personal health record (PHR) including both clinical and non-clinical data. The PHR is located on a network server referred as common server. The overall service architecture for providing anonymous and private access to the PHR is described. Semantic interoperability...
