Abstract-Population aging problem has become a severe challenge worldwide and will become even severer in the near future. Meanwhile the technology of smart phones and various sensors is developing by leaps and bounds in the last few years. In order to help people who have difficulty in living independently, especially the senior citizens and facilitate efficient use of these sensors, it is worthwhile to explore the possibility of making use of smart phones to manage these sensors and provide valuable information. In this paper, a context engine run on the Android platform is introduced. The context engine targets healthcare usage, collecting healthcare related information from three kinds of sensors: ambient sensors, wearable sensors, and embedded sensors, with the attention of providing real time reminders, sharing information to other applications and recording the user's daily life. Experiment result shows that average accuracy of reminders can reach 82% in user's daily life within the context engine. The results are expected to be improved with more sensors and more accurate sensors involved in the system. Compared to other similar work, this context engine focuses on the mobile platform that can cover most of user's time in daily time while maintaining portability.

“…Some of the common applications include disaster management [1], flood detection [1], wildlife tracking and monitoring [2,3], battlefield support and enemy intrusion detection, resource management [4,5] etc. More recently, WSNs have been developed for E-Health Systems based on wireless body-strapped medical sensor devices [6,7]. WSNs have also shown immense potential in the development of smart meters for the administration, monitoring and control of the smart grid [8,9].…”

Geographic routing algorithms conventionally use one-hop greedy forwarding as their primary routing technique, which might lead to routing voids. Secondary routing schemes used to circumnavigate such routing voids are unfortunately not efficient in terms of throughput and energy consumption. Moreover, node residual energy and link quality are not considered during the routing process. This thesis presents a Two-hop Information based Energy-efficient Geographic Routing (TIEGeR) scheme to achieve effective energy balancing throughout the network, while preventing routing voids by proactively avoiding "local maxima" nodes.Distance to reach destination, node connectivity, link quality, and node residual energy are employed to formulate the routing metric for the TIEGeR. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

“…Hence, the need of delivering quality care to a rapidly growing population of elderly while reducing the healthcare costs is an important issue [2]. Constant monitoring will increase early detection of emergency conditions and diseases for at-risk patients and also provide wide range of healthcare services for people with various degrees of cognitive and physical disabilities [3]. In-home pervasive networks may assist residents and their caregivers by providing continuous medical monitoring, memory enhancement, control of home appliances, medical data access, and emergency communication [4,5].…”

In pervasive healthcare systems, WSNs provide rich contextual information and alerting mechanisms against odd conditions with continuous monitoring. Furthermore, they minimize the need for caregivers and help the chronically ill and elderly to survive an independent life. In this paper, we propose an outdoor monitoring environment and evaluate the capabilities of video sensor networks for healthcare monitoring in an outdoor setting. The results exhibit that their capabilities are limited. For this reason, we proposed several enhancements for reducing the traffic load on the network for better performance. RFID is a very mature technology that has already been used in many areas. The RFID-enhanced video sensor networks reduce the network traffic load. Moreover, the proximity of the healthcare professionals who are also moving in the surveillance area is also used for better balancing the network load. Finally, for assuring the reporting of the emergency events with low latencies, we propose an emergency frame based queuing mechanism and evaluated its performance through simulations.
