“…There are limited grid projects in UK that focus on clinical application. These grid projects include the Grid Based Medical Devices for Everyday Health [78], Telemedicine Grid [79], BioMedical Research Informatics Delivery by Grid Enabled Services (BRIDGES) [64], and Clinical E-Science Framework (CLEF) Grid [80].…”

Grid platforms serve a wide range of activities in life sciences, bioinformatics, engineering, healthcare and other industries. This paper identifies the key bioinformatics and healthcare computing models and services on grid initiatives and classifies and describes their current use in the industry. Based on what has been reported by the literature, the paper identifies eight key areas of interests and eleven models where bioinformatics and healthcare oriented services are available. The efforts of this work will assist in determining areas of interests for end-users of grid technologies and highlighting future grid studies and research toward further grid services developments.

“…Patients wear a jacket containing a small computer (bitsy), attached to which are several sensing devices through a 9-wire bus [6]. Each sensor takes a reading at a predefined interval and sends the reading to the wearable computer (see figure 4).…”

“…Two real world sensor devices were already available as part of focused research by collaborating institutions: the CyberJacket [5,6] from Bristol University, which collects data from patient life signals and ambient data, and the eScience Antarctic lake probe [7] from the University of Nottingham, which records data from a lake in the Antarctic. In detailing these, we will demonstrate how they were integrated into the sensor architecture and their role in future research together with Grid technologies.…”

Abstract. This paper describes the design and implementation of a model of how to integrate sensors and devices into a Grid infrastructure. We describe its proxy-based approach, the port-type requirements and the set of tools implemented to facilitate configuration of experimental scenarios. Two real world devices, a wearable medical jacket and an Antarctic lake probe, deployed out in the field using this architecture are described, along with their relevance in scientific research.

“…Crowe et al states that changing battery is a troublesome task and concludes that wearable sensors should be connected to one unit with wires to supply power from one source [4]. Our approach makes such a maintenance task easier because we use rechargeable batteries and on-board charging circuitry, and we believe this is a reasonable solution to this problem.…”

“…Meanwhile, as for maintenance, changing batteries is unavoidable in all battery-based systems. This task can become increasingly irritating and confusing as the number of devices increases [4]. To practically eliminate these troubles, B-Pack uses a rechargeable battery, and the charging circuitry is implemented on B-Pack's main board.…”
