ABSTRACT: This paper discusses the design and implementation of a comprehensive sensor based framework for medical activity recognition of elderly patients. Tri-axial accelerometers worn on the wrists monitor hand movements to recognize activities. A comparison of...
ABSTRACT: Among the important research projects much deployed in healthcare field there is the wireless body Area networks (WBANs) applications, which can widely help to remote monitor the human health. This research aims to develop a wearable WBAN application for...
ABSTRACT: A novel CMOS-process-compatible MEMS sensor for monitoring respiration is presented. This resistive flow sensor was manufactured by the TSMC 0.35 ¿m CMOS/MEMS mixed-signal 2P4M polycide process. The sensor was demonstrated to be sensitive enough to detect...
ABSTRACT: Robust detection of events and activities, such as falling, sitting, and lying down, is a key to a reliable elderly activity monitoring system. While fast and precise detection of falls is critical in providing immediate medical attention, other activities...
ABSTRACT: Measurement of chlorophyll concentration is gaining more-and-more importance in evaluating the status of the marine ecosystem. For wide areas monitoring a reliable architecture of wireless sensors network is required. In this paper, we present a network of...
ABSTRACT: Heart rate is a very vital health parameter that is directly related to the soundness of the human cardiovascular system. But high blood pressure, high cholesterol level or diabetes mellitus can lead to blockade of coronary arteries and result into heart...
