“…The project of Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, [103], [104] reports a wireless ECG monitoring device that contains a low-consumption detection part located on the user's chest and a relay transmitter (or micro data recorder) located on the user's wrist. The signals of the detection part are transmitted to the relay transmitter as an ac micro current flows through the tissue of the body.…”

Abstract-Smart houses are considered a good alternative for the independent life of older persons and persons with disabilities. Numerous intelligent devices, embedded into the home environment, can provide the resident with both movement assistance and 24-h health monitoring. Modern home-installed systems tend to be not only physically versatile in functionality but also emotionally human-friendly, i.e., they may be able to perform their functions without disturbing the user and without causing him/her any pain, inconvenience, or movement restriction, instead possibly providing him/her with comfort and pleasure. Through an extensive survey, this paper analyzes the building blocks of smart houses, with particular attention paid to the health monitoring subsystem as an important component, by addressing the basic requirements of various sensors implemented from both research and clinical perspectives. The paper will then discuss some important issues of the future development of an intelligent residential space with a human-friendly health monitoring functional system. Index Terms-Health monitoring, intelligent house, smart house, wearable sensor.

“…The galvanic coupling HBC was firstly reported in 1997 by the Japanese researchers Handa et al [38]. The ECG signal from the chest was modulated into micro-Ampere electric current, coupled into human body by electrodes, and detected by a pair of receiving electrodes on the wrist.…”

“…Recently, a wideband signaling HBC transceiver with high data rate between 1 Mbps to 40 Mbps was developed by Chung et al [79]. For galvanic coupling HBC, the first prototype achieved only 0.9 kbps by employing pulse width modulation (PWM) [38]. A data rate of 9.6 kbps was obtained by using FSK modulation with carrier frequency of 10.7 MHz [32,40].…”

Human body communication (HBC), which uses the human body tissue as the transmission medium to transmit health informatics, serves as a promising physical layer solution for the body area network (BAN). The human centric nature of HBC offers an innovative method to transfer the healthcare data, whose transmission requires low interference and reliable data link. Therefore, the deployment of HBC system obtaining good communication performance is required. In this regard, a tutorial review on the important issues related to HBC data transmission such as signal propagation model, channel characteristics, communication performance, and experimental considerations is conducted. In this work, the development of HBC and its first attempts are firstly reviewed. Then a survey on the signal propagation models is introduced. Based on these models, the channel characteristics are summarized; the communication performance and selection of transmission parameters are also investigated. Moreover, the experimental issues, such as electrodes and grounding strategies, are also discussed. Finally, the recommended future studies are provided.

Many wonderful technological developments in recent years have opened up the possibility of using smart or intelligent homes for a number of important applications. Typical applications range from overall lifestyle improvement to helping people with special needs such as the elderly and the disabled to improve their independence, safety and security at home. Research in the area has looked into ways of making the home environment automatic and automated devices have been designed to help the disabled people. Also, possibilities of automated health monitoring systems and usage of automatic controlled devices to replace caregiver and housekeeper have received significant attention. Most of the models require acquisition of useful information from the environment, identification of the significant features and finally usage of some sort of machine learning techniques for decision making and planning for the next action to be undertaken. This chapter specifically focuses on neural networks applications in building a smart home environment.
