“…Minnetti et al [14] presented smart hospitals system (SHS); an IoT-aware system which provides automatic patient and assets tracking in hospitals and care homes. Suntiamorntut et al [15] proposed an affordable system for private homes to assist the elderly to live independently. Other approaches such as Bodyguarding Heart [16] rely on wearable devices in combination with smartphones to monitor vital signs and other health information.…”

The application of blockchains techniques in the Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining much attention with new solutions proposed in diverse areas of the IoT. Conventionally IoT systems are designed to follow the centralised paradigm where security and privacy control is vested on a "trusted" third-party. This design leaves the user at the mercy of a sovereign broker and in addition, susceptible to several attacks. The implicit trust and the inferred reliability of centralised systems have been challenged recently following several privacy violations and personal data breaches. Consequently, there is a call for more secure decentralised systems that allows for finer control of user privacy while providing secure communication. Propitiously, the blockchain holds much promise and may provide the necessary framework for the design of a secure IoT system that guarantees fine-grained user privacy in a trustless manner. In this paper, we propose a holistic blockchain-based decentralised model for Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) environment. The nodes in our proposed model utilize smart contracts to define interaction rules while working collaboratively to contribute storage and computing resources. Based on the blockchain technique, our proposed model promotes trustless interaction and enhanced user's privacy through the blockchain-Interplanetary File System (IPFS) alliance. The proposed model also addresses the shortfall of storage constraints exhibited in many IoT systems.

“…Smartphone sensor technology is being successfully used in a range of applications, such as measuring sports performance [1], elderly assistance [2][3], determining user's activity [4] [5] and controlling robots [6]. In gaming, spatial input provides invaluable means to control the game play through the user's activity and gestures; the latter are also more and more often used in non-gaming user interfaces [7].…”

Abstract-In this project, mobile connectivity and an innovative approach to sensor data gathering and integration have been employed to automate maintenance inspection, performance monitoring and ride quality measurement in vertical transportation systems. An Inertial Navigation System (INS) has been proposed, implemented and tested to track lift car movement profile. The inherent characteristics of vertical motion have been used to minimize errors and obtain higher accuracy in the integration results. The measurement of a correlation between kinematic profiles constructed from lift-car tracking data compared to its nominal values provides key information on the lift condition at any time. A frequency analysis was applied to processing vibrations and noise data, effectively adding another dimension to the lift ride quality measurement. This approach enabled lift performance profiles to be compiled automatically and transmitted in real time, which significantly rationalized and improved the process of maintenance inspection and monitoring. An advanced prototype, AdInspect, has been produced, with the full set of described features. Industry partners are currently evaluating it.

“…It has been predicted in '2020 computing: Everything, everywhere' [4] and 'US National Research Council report (Embedded Everywhere)' [5] that WSNs play an irreplaceable role in future technology due to its satisfactory features as diverse as self-organization, good concealment and high fault tolerance, and its wide range of applications in domains such as military [6], [7], ecosystem [8], [9], preservation of cultural relics [10], living environment [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], etc. A majority of WSN applications require that sensor nodes in a certain area have a common time scale so that they can accomplish their tasks such as [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21].…”
