“…E-health is based on sensor networks connected via Internet to a medical base station. Together, ehealth and sophisticated home technologies therefore offer both smart home and medicine 4, making it possible to remotely monitor health thorough an internet connection and relay the data to medical staff or families [13]. At the centre of this configuration between user and receiver or monitor, and fed by remote connections, is a system based on compatible hardware and software [14].…”

Abstract. Over the last three decades, there has been a dramatic rise in ageing populations in most countries. Older people are remaining in nursing home care due to the fact that general services and medical support are provided. However, these environments often negatively affect older people due to high cost, limited staff and the social impacts they have. A way to overcome these challenges is to place the elderly instead of the Nursing Homes in a Smart Home environment. In other words, by implementing such technology, older people are able to remain at home, instead of going to nursing homes and pay the extremely high cost.The aim of this study is to describe the impact of wireless communications technologies on both nursing home and smart home. Using smart wireless sensors, wireless communication and ambient intelligent systems, it is possible to create systems capable of measuring vital signs of the patient at home. This is based on exchanging signals (information) between the sensor and the data server from already deployed sensors (infrared or camera) or wearable smart sensors, allowing older people to stay at home.

Abstract. This paper presents a system for early detection and alerting of the onset of a heart attack. The system consists of a wireless, easy wearable and mobile ECG biosensor, a cloud based data center, smartphone and web application. A significant part in the system is the 24h health monitoring and care provided by expert cardiac physicians. The system predicts potential heart attack and sends risk alerts to the medical experts for assessment. If a potential heart attack risk exists, ambulance is being called with the coordinates of the cardiac patient wearing the sensor. The timely reaction can prevent serious tissue damage or even death to the users of the system.

Abstract. This paper presents the challenges to develop a system for early detection and alerting of the onset of a heart attack. The system consists of a wireless, easily wearable and mobile ECG biosensor, a cloud-based data centre, smartphone and web application. A significant part of the system is the 24h health monitoring and care provided by expert cardiac physicians. The system predicts potential heart attack and sends risk alerts to the medical experts for assessment. If a potential heart attack risk exists, an emergency ambulance is being called with the coordinates of the cardiac patient wearing the sensor. The timely reaction can prevent serious tissue damage or even death to the users of the system. Our goal in this paper is to elaborate the challenges we met and solutions we have developed for development of an m-Health mobile application for detection of abnormalities in the ECG and alerting of a heart attack. The problems analyzed address Low Power Bluetooth connections, number conversion and transmission, decision making on what to be locally processed and what computations to be offloaded to cloud, software architecture, type of initial filtering for obtaining sufficient quality of the ECG signal, and visualization approach with relatively small processing requirements.
