Now a days the medical sector has become highly complicated and list of people who have need of medical services increasing day by day. Because of these increase in services, medical staff faces with more and more challenges. To improve the quality of patient's life, wireless technology allows doctors to monitor patient's health condition remotely and gives them timely health information reminder...
Physical telerehabilitation services over the Internet allow physiotherapists to engage in remote consultation with patients at their homes, improving the quality of care and reducing costs. Traditional visual approaches, such as webcams and videophones, are limited in terms of precision of assessment and support for assistance with exercises. In this paper, we present a Physical Telerehabilitation...
Rapid advancement in wearable technology has unlocked a tremendous potential of its applications in the medical domain. Among the challenges in making the technology more useful for medical purposes is the lack of confidence in the data thus generated and communicated. Incentives have led to attacks on such systems. We propose a novel lightweight scheme to securely log the data from bodyworn sensing...
Clinical guidelines and decision support systems (DSS) play an important role in daily practices of medicine. Many textbased guidelines have been encoded for work- ow simulation of DSS to automate health care. During the collaboration with Carle hospital to develop a DSS, we identify that, for some complex and life-critical diseases, it is highly desirable to automatically rigorously verify some complex...
The system which monitors the various physiological signal plays a vital role in diagnosing the diseases of a patient in time. Wireless transmission of Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal enables the mobility of the patient and doctor. The device captures and provides the ECG data across networks which can be continuously monitored through any display device in real-time. The proposed wearable device contains...
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...
This work presents the development of low cost, portable real-time Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal monitoring system with abnormality detection capability. The 3-lead Electrocardiogram device takes the physical pulse input using electrodes stuck to the arms and right leg of the patient under observation. The ECG signal is processed by the microcontroller AT89S52 in the portable wireless unit to count...
In the present scenario, a patient has to go to the hospital to take necessary tests, consult a doctor, and to buy prescribed medicines. Precious time is wasted at hospitals and in medical shops. The obstacles in the present scenario can be overcome by the ATM Medical Machine (AMM). The purpose of AMM is to establish a Tele Medicine Conference System for use in remote areas, by both distinguished...
Current prospects of Internet of Things (IoT) is very strong for healthcare sector. It is also very popular due to its ability for sensing and measurements. In the low energy form, we have narrowband IoT (NBIoT). It is preferred in healthcare sector due to its low energy requirements. There are several proposals for the implementation of NBIoT in the healthcare sector. NBIoT has been standardized...
Parkinson's disease is a neuro-degenerative disorder affecting tens of millions of people worldwide. Lately, there has been considerable interest in systems for at-home monitoring of patients, using wearable devices which contain inertial measurement units. We present a new wavelet-based approach for analysis of data from single wrist-worn smart-watches, and show high detection performance for tremor,...
Continuous health monitoring using wireless body area networks of implantable and wearable medical devices is envisioned as a transformative approach to healthcare. Rapid advances in biomedical sensors, low-power electronics, and wireless communications have brought this vision to the verge of reality. However, key challenges still remain to be addressed. This paper surveys the current state-of-the-art...
Data visualization has gained significant importance since the demand for software applications providing abstract view and pattern identification has increased. To meet the demand, a number of data visualization techniques and best practices have been proposed in many disciplines. However, data visualization is not as advanced in healthcare software applications as compared to other scientific fields...
This paper introduces SmartCare, a project revolving around a smart environment especially built to enable aging in place. The paper describes the vision behind SmartCare as well as its translation into a deployed system. The physical incarnation of SmartCare is the SmartCare apartment, an actual apartment in a retirement community. We provide a description the technologies that are deployed in the...
Healthcare industry has perpetually been on the forefront in the adoption and utilization of information and communication technologies (ICT) for the efficient healthcare administration and treatment. Recent developments in ICT and the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) have opened up new avenues for research and exploration in the all fields including medical and healthcare industry. Hospitals...
In a world with an accelerated population aging, there is an increasingly interest in developing solutions for the elderly living assistance. The Internet of Things is a new reality that is completely changing our everyday life, and promises to revolutionize modern healthcare by enabling a more personalized, preventive and collaborative form of care. Aiming to combine these two important topics, this...
E-Healthcare system plays a major role in the society. It monitors the health condition and helps in giving appropriate medical treatments. This system aims at gathering and storing patient's details and sharing health related information. It also has high legitimate concerns about patient's privacy and information security. This system minimizes the infrastructural barriers for the developing nations...
System aims to design and implementation of ATM based remote health care monitoring system. The drastic rise in ATM transaction costs which covers telecom, security, network, power management and cash management results in lower operational savings and pressurized profitability. This allows an individual to check the medical parameters such as Blood glucose level, Blood pressure, Heart beat, Body...
United nation population report predicts that the world population will hit 8 billion by 2026 with hopping 1.5 billion in India. This increased population demands improved medical facilities only to realize there are not adequate doctors on role leading to deaths of nearly 1M Indians every year & approximately 700M deprived of even preliminary health treatment thereby carrying 21% of the global...
In this paper, a health care system is described for rural areas considering a small village using hybrid network i.e. which operates both in ADHOC and cellular region. In this system, a small village is considered in which sensors are attached to people, the whole area is divided into clusters. The sensors considered for this system can operate in both ADHOC and GSM region. In each cluster, a sensor...
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,...
