“…Traditionally, widely accepted physiological indices such as heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation have provided important indicators of an individual's health condition. 25 Pulse oximetry is one of the most common physiological monitors used in medical care to continually measure these vital signs and offers a non-invasive method to capture this data in the workplace. 26 Physiological data from wearables are used in research to interpret and predict workers' physical and mental status.…”

A major source of noise complaints in open-plan offices has consistently been co-workers talking nearby or talking on the phone. Various masking sounds such as white noise and pink noise have been explored to reduce the intelligibility level of speech from adjacent co-workers in open-plan offices. Recently, nature soundscapes such as water, rainfall or birdsong have been introduced instead of conventional white or pink noises. Water sounds with limited acoustic variation have shown more effectiveness than nature sounds with high acoustic variation such as birdsong. This study examined four types of background sounds in a controlled lab environment that simulated a typical open-plan office in a large pharmaceutical company in the United Kingdom. The purpose was to understand cognitive performance, satisfaction and preference, and physiological responses among the four types of background sounds: no external acoustic noise, typical daily office noise, white noise and spring water sound. The study employed three methods: an assessment of cognitive performance to measure memory, distractibility and decision-making; a survey to understand subjective satisfaction and preference; and use of wearable devices to monitor physiological responses. Two different types of wearable devices were used: pulse oximeter and electrodermal activity sensor to compare physiological responses to the four types of sounds. This article discusses discrepancies found between participants’ satisfaction/preference and their cognitive performance under the four background sounds and potential future implications of masking sounds in open-plan offices.

“…Hence, telemedicine and remote monitoring of patients at home are gaining added importance and urgency [4]- [6]. Patients are being monitored using a network of wireless sensors [7]. Many elderly people dread the idea of being forced to live with their adult children, or in a rest home or in other sheltered living arrangement.…”

The design and development of a Zigbee smart non-invasive wearable physiological parameters monitoring device has been developed and reported in this paper. The system can be used to monitor physiological parameters, such as temperature and heart rate, of a human subject. The system consists of an electronic device which is worn on the wrist and finger, by an at-risk person. Using several sensors to measure different vital signs, the person is wirelessly monitored within his own home. An impact sensor has been used to detect falls. The device detects if a person is medically distressed and sends an alarm to a receiver unit that is connected to a computer. This sets off an alarm, allowing help to be provided to the user. The device is battery powered for use outdoors. The device can be easily adapted to monitor athletes and infants. The low cost of the device will help to lower the cost of home monitoring of patients recovering from illness. A prototype of the device has been fabricated and extensively tested with very good results.

“…During this recovery period several physiological parameters need to be continuously measured. Hence telemedicine and remote monitoring of patients at home are gaining added importance and urgency [1][2][3]. Today, the progress in science and technology offers miniaturization, speed, intelligence, sophistication and new materials at lower cost.…”

In this paper we present the design of a low-cost system that can be used to monitor physiological parameters, such as temperature and heart rate, ofa human subject. The system consists of an electronic device which is worn on the wrist andfinger, by an elderly or at-risk person. Using several sensors to measure different vital signs, the person is wirelessly monitored within his own home. An impact sensor has been used to detectfalls. The device detects if a person is medically distressed and sends an alarm to a receiver unit that is connected to a computer. This sets offan alarm, allowing help to be provided to the patient. The device is battery poweredfor use indoors. The device can be easily adapted to monitor athletes and infants. The low cost ofthe device will help to lower the cost of home monitoring ofpatients recoveringfrom illness. A prototype of the device has beenfabricated and extensively tested with very good results.
