Background and objective Continuous monitoring of breathing activity plays a vital role in the detection of respiratory-based diseases (SA, COPD, etc.). Sleep Apnea (SA) is characterized by recurrent upper airway obstruction during sleep associated with arterial blood desaturation, sympathetic nervous system activation, and cardiovascular impairment. Untreated patients with SA have increased mortality rates compared to the general population. This study aims to design a remote monitoring system for sleep apnea to ensure patient safety and ease the workload of doctors in the Covid-19 era. Methods This study aims to design a remote monitoring system for sleep apnea to ensure patient safety and ease the workload of doctors. Our study focuses on a novel portable real-time low-cost sleep apnea monitoring system utilizing the GSM network (GSM Shield Sim900a). Proposed system is a remote monitoring and patient tracking system to detect the apnea event in real time, and to provide information of the sleep position, pulse, and respiratory and oxygen saturation to the medical specialists (SpO 2 ) by establishing a direct contact. As soon as an abnormal condition is detected in the light of these parameters, the condition is reported (instant or in the form of short reports after sleep) to the patient relatives, the doctor's mobile telephone or to the emergency medical centers (EMCs) through a GSM network to handle the case depending on the patient's emergency condition. Results A study group was formed of six patients for monitoring apnea events (three males and three females) between the ages of 20 and 60. The patients in the study group have sleep apnea (SA) in different grades. All the apnea events were detected, and all the patients were successfully alerted. Also, the patient parameters were successfully sent to all patient relatives. Patients who could not get out of apnea were called through the CALL feature, and they were informed about their ongoing apnea event and told that intervention was necessary. The proposed system is tested on six patients. The beginning moment of apnea was successfully detected and the SMS/CALL feature was successfully activated without delay. During the testing, it has been observed that while some of the patients start breathing after the first SMS, some others needed the second or the third SMS. According to the measurement result, the maximum breathless time is 46 s among the patients, and a SMS is sent every 15 s. In addition, in cases where the patient was breathless for a long time, the CALL feature was actively sought from the relatives of the patient and enabled him to intervene. The proposed monitoring system could be used in both clinical and home settings. Conclusions The monitoring of a patient in real time allows to intervene in any unexpected circumstances about the patient. The proposed work uses an acceleration sensor as a reliable method of the sleep apnea for monitoring and prevention. The developed device is more economical, comfortable, and convenient than existing sy...

“…Actually, a network ends up futile without adequate security systems to ensure the trustworthiness and protection of the data. In spite of the fact that various applications may need assorted security levels, there are various security necessities, for example, accessibility, the validness of cause, authentication of data (integrity) and confidentiality (privacy) [8]- [10]. In short, for IoT enabled WSNs the core requirement is security and privacy.…”

Nowadays Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging and effective technology along with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in a few constant applications in which the human intervention significantly reduced along with better human life. In IoT enabled WSNs, the sensor nodes used to assemble the fragile data and communicate towards the sink hub and actuators for automotive remote monitoring process. However as the WSNs operating at free frequency band, it is powerless against different attacks at various layers of WSNs protocol stack in which attackers may try to hack and compromise the user’s personal information. There are different types of attacks in WSNs and several research works conducted to protect from these attacks in WSNs. Majority of security methods proposed are based layered technique. However, the layer approach is not enough to protect the WSNs effectively as the many attackers used the cross-layer information to perform the attacks. This paper presents the study over the layered security solutions and their research problems at first to justify the importance of cross-layer solutions. The review of different ways of designing the cross-layer security techniques for WSNs with their behaviour presented as well. The challenges of IoT enabled WSNs single layered security solutions presented and then the various cross-layer solutions reviewed in this paper. The comparative study of different cross-layer techniques to demonstrate the layers and their parameters involved to detect of security threats. The outcome of this review work is the research challenges noticed from the present cross-layer solutions.
