Impedance plethysmography is a technique which allows the monitoring of respiratory activity through the measurement of variations in the trans-thoracic impedance. Provided the measurement system has enough sensitivity, the same technique can also detect heartbeats, thus adding cardiac activity monitoring capabilities. In this paper, a comparison is performed between 2-electrode and 4-electrode systems,...
In recent decades the aging of the population has led to a change in the health field with special attention to the issue of home care and e-health. The aim is to provide different types of health care services to the patient's home rather than in hospital so improving the quality of life of patients by allowing them to stay in their own home environment. The healthcare sector is undergoing profound...
This paper presents an overall system for hemodynamic controlling consisting of a transmitter / reader, which operates outside the human body, and an implantable sensor unit. The implantable sensor module detects pressure, acceleration, temperature, voltage, and impedance. In order to achieve the required miniaturization, the acceleration sensor was developed in a MEMS (micro electro mechanical system)...
At the heart of all Medical Information Systems (MIS), we found the patient record. It represents a written memory of administrative, clinical, biological, diagnostic and treatment information about the patient. It is constituted around the data accumulation related to a patient's care over time. The computerization of the patient record across the MIS proves to be essential for effective care and...
We propose smart home health care system for the realization of smart cities to fulfill the needs of elderly people in order to have continued care. An elderly person should be monitored constantly, specifically if he or she is diagnosed for health-related problems before. In the proposed system, a patient's condition is monitored by using multimodal inputs, specifically, speech and video. Video cameras...
A lot of research has been carried out in the field of healthcare monitoring. In recent years, development of patient monitoring system has been emerged as an area of research. In this article, a patient monitoring system is proposed. The proposed framework integrated web services with multiple sensors controlled by Arduino Uno. Therefore, the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) with Rich Internet...
In-patient monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and pulse oximetry require very sensitive analog front ends (AFE's) designed from a system perspective. Analog techniques to lower power consumption of the AFE's while maintaining SNR will be discussed. Challenges for power management in wearables and digital processing needed for next generation patient monitoring will be discussed from the context...
With an increasing population of the world m-healthcare has become an important social need. A lot of improvement and innovation to the sector on m-healthcare has been made due to the advancing technology and there is still a lot of scope for improvement. Hence, an important requirement for medical service informalization is the establishment and improvement of Doctor-patient interaction system. By...
Researchers throughout the years have been searching for methods to improve the available technologies to ease the users worldwide. In medical industries, researchers have made many improvements and development in medical equipment's to ease the medical professionals in serving patients. This work is the continuation of the previous research work in providing complete set of data for analysis on human...
As the technology is advancing in health care applications there is a growing need for changes in monitoring patients in hospital, mainly monitoring patients who admitted in hospital. CCTv's and other devices attached to wireless network may record the patient activities for entire day. These devices provide patient's context information which enables the system taking the decisions to handle critical...
eHealth is the provision of healthcare with the inclusion of telecommunication techniques. This project looks at the construction of a simple device that will be capable of transferring the data of a patient's vital signs to a remote device wirelessly. The necessity of this project is to alleviate the difficulty that is encountered by medical experts in monitoring multiple patients simultaneously...
This paper presents a new Internet of Thing (IoT)-based platform to support self-management of diabetes. This mobile health (mHealth) approach allows for multiple care dimensions of diabetes by means of remote collection and monitoring of patient data and provision of personalized and customized feedback on a smartphone platform. Such support to self-management of diabetes enables real-time clinical...
Psychiatric wards in hospitals face the problems of patient absconding and this has caused great concern not only to the healthcare workers but also to the public to a certain extent. The standard and quality of healthcare services are compromised and the safety of public can be placed at risk. One of the main challenges is the high cost to hospitals to automate the tracking of patients. In this paper...
We are presenting a novel PPG optical sensor and device with ambient optical, electrical and electromagnetic noises cancellation, thus allowing only the useful optical signals to be received by the health monitoring device. The presented sensor and methodology has been integrated into a prototype standalone device for noninvasive, continuous, wearable, remote and mobile monitoring of blood pressure...
We present a means of generating a mobile clientserver application that enables customized remote monitoring of patients with chronic diseases. The customization is based on parameters and formal descriptions of: type of chronic disease, patient preferences, the monitoring procedure required by the doctor, prescribed medication and information about the current context (i.e., environment) of the patient,...

Modern mobile and wearable devices are enabling the realization of so-called ubiquitous computing. This provides citizens the technological means to contribute to urban management by becoming sensors within a smart city. Notwithstanding, the health sector is a very crucial factor for city management, imposing restrictions to the decisions directly or indirectly. The question that arises is given the...
RFID has been around since World War II but was viewed as too limited and expensive in functionality for most of commercial use. With advancement in technology, cost of system components has reduced and capabilities have increased, making RFID more popular. The development of RFID since the 1970's has been remarkable and many such systems are available online for purchasing. Now-a-days there are sensors...
The increasing elderly population presents a challenge on the resources of carers and assisted living communities. In this paper, we present an algorithm based around the Microsoft Kinect for monitoring activities of daily living. The system analyses the behaviour of occupants to provide carers with valuable observational data, and has the capacity to detect abnormal events in the home.
Caring for sick, disabled, and elderly people in a home environment is a growing and challenging trend in many countries worldwide. To offer both the affected people and their caregivers a better quality of life, the use of low-cost health status monitoring devices that are networked in the home and through the Internet to healthcare centers is being explored. This paper gives a snapshot review of...
