In this paper, we report an in-vehicle wireless sensor network platform for daily health monitoring. The platform is capable of monitoring health risk factors due to long time sitting and driving. The system contains three sensor nodes for monitoring sitting pressure distribution, ECG, and GSR, respectively, which are good indicators of driving-induced chronic conditions. This platform is also compatible...
This paper discussed one application of IOT as media data transmission for the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. We developed ECG monitoring system that can be accessed by several users simultaneously via the internet network. The system consists of ECG hardware, transmission module based on Zigbee and web server for data storage and web application. The ECG signal taken from body's patients is acquired...
This paper discussed one of ZigBee application as data transmission media for patient's vital sign monitoring. The ECG signal, heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure are taken from patient's body by the vital sign monitoring device (MGW830), and then raw data is sent serially by ZigBee to two computers as monitoring device wirelessly. Furthermore, the data can be accessed by other authorized...
Traditional ECG inspection procedures can be very complicated and need professional assistance. When minor abnormality occurs the subject's heartbeat often returns to normal before he/she takes a detailed examination. Thus, the cause of abnormality remains ignored. In this study, we propose an effective heartbeat monitoring ECG real-time detection system for homecare service, which uses the ECG sensors...
An ageing population is now the leading concern for higher healthcare costs due to more cases of chronic illnesses. Telemedicine systems based on modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are expected to play a pivotal role in alleviating the pressure on health care services. Environmental factors have also profound impact on health condition of the patients. As a consequence monitoring...
A wireless ECG monitoring system suitable for the usage of athlete training and evaluation is proposed, which contains multiple client-side wireless ECG acquisition sub-systems based on MSP430, a central monitoring sub-system based on ARM and ECG analysis software on PC. The whole monitoring system constitutes a wireless sensor network with nRF905 wireless transceivers. The design of client-side system...
This study presents the design and development of a wearable ubiquitous healthcare monitoring system using integrated electrocardiogram (ECG), Photoplethysmogratphy(PPG), Skin Temperature and Accelerometer etc. In this design, non-intrusive healthcare system was designed based on WBAN for wide area coverage with minimum battery power to support RF transmission. In this system, WBAN(wireless body area...
The main purpose of this research work is to develop a wireless sensor network system that can continuously monitor and detect cardiovascular disease experienced in patients at remote areas. A wearable wireless sensor system (WWSS) is designed to continuously capture and transmit the ECG signals to the patient's mobile phone. The fastest alert will be issued to doctors, relatives, and hospitals, using...
This paper describes the design and realization of a wireless sensor gateway (WSG) within a wireless sensor network (WSN) for health monitoring. The WSN allows recording and wireless transmission of biosignals, namely the electrocardiogram, pulse wave and body weight, which are important parameters for cardiovascular monitoring. These can be displayed, analysed, and saved on the WSG through a user...
This paper describes a practical development project to enable the monitoring of vital signs data obtained from patients located in remote rural locations. The data are gathered from a wireless network of sensors attached to a patient's body and stored locally for secure transmission over existing communication infrastructures to a hospital server. Clinicians are then able to monitor the patient offline...
Wireless sensor network (WSN) is widely used recently and sensor location plays a critical role in WSN such as medical care field. Although GPS receiver on every sensor node can locate successfully, it is costly. In the past, a number of location discovery schemes have been proposed. Most of these schemes are designed without considering the characteristics of nodes in real environment. This paper...
To provide a reliable assistance to patients, emergency and intensive care systems have increased demands for quality of service at different levels, including at the MAC layer. The low power real time (LPRT) MAC protocol presents suitable characteristics to address these demands due to its efficient bandwidth allocation, low energy consumption, and bounded latency. Yet, this MAC protocol may still...
In this investigation we have prototyped a wireless ECG (electrocardiogram) sensor for real-time heart rate variability (HRV) detection, based on a commercially available sensor node. An ECG amplifier circuit is designed on a PCB board that is similar size to the sensor node so that it is easily attached to this node to achieve a minimum system size. In this implementation, the ECG is detected from...
This paper describes a robust healthcare monitoring system which possess multiple physiological signals measurements on real time that applicable to various environments which integrates wireless sensor network (WSN) technology and code division multiple assess (CDMA) with extended feature of locally standalone diagnosis algorithms that implemented in cell phone. A simple database is created inside...
A query processor to control and manage the reliability and efficiency of sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network was designed and implemented. Sensor node with the proposed query process combines environmental and medical sensors in order to monitor both pollution states of the surrounding indoor room of the patient and the patient's health status continuously. This feature allows a comprehensive...
An ambulatory pulse oximeter system based on wireless sensor network is designed and integrated to the wearable sensor node. The system is developed to measure motion activities using pulse oximeter and triaxial accelerometer sensor during in motion. The input signals are pulse oximeter and triaxial acceleration signals which are acquired from a finger. However, motion artifact is originated a result...
Smart Clothing is a project that combines research in textiles materials and wireless sensor and actuator networks in the context of human body monitoring with statistical methods for the data analysis and treatment. This project aims mainly to aid in the monitoring of the foetal movement in the last four weeks of pregnancy. Besides the integration of sensors in the garment there will be needed a...
Telemedicine is a future trend of medical care due to the increasing cost of treatment and the aging of population around the world. Several telecommunication technologies are proposed for transferring medical data between a point of care and a hospital. However, it does not provide full mobility where a patient still needs to be attached with wired monitoring devices. In this paper, we proposed a...
