“…We have evaluated our approach in terms of the four main objectives, defined for WSN applied in healthcare developments: minimize error rates, conduct diagnosis with real time patient data, improve efficiency, and reduce costs [26]. We have collected data before and after the implantation of the telemonitoring system, with data collected from Feb. 2009 to Mar.…”

“…Unlike other telemonitoring systems as [26], [27], or [28], the presented system allows to integrate heterogeneous sensor networks from different technologies, even wired ones. Therefore, it is possible to join automation and biomedical sensors in the same telemonitoring system, using the technology that better fits each sensor's data characteristics.…”

“…One of the key aspects for the construction of these environments is obtaining context information through sensor networks. There are several healthcare developments for telemonitoring based on WSNs [26]- [28]. However, these developments do not take into account their integration with other systems and are difficult to be adapted to new situations.…”

Abstract-Ambient intelligence has acquired great importance in recent years and requires the development of new innovative solutions. This paper presents a distributed telemonitoring system, aimed at improving healthcare and assistance to dependent people at their homes. The system implements a service-oriented architecture based platform, which allows heterogeneous wireless sensor networks to communicate in a distributed way independent of time and location restrictions. This approach provides the system with a higher ability to recover from errors and a better flexibility to change their behavior at execution time. Preliminary results are presented in this paper.

“…As a consequence of this aging, a number of chronic age-related diseases (specifically, Type 2 diabetes, cancer, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, and dementia) have significantly increased (Fass 2007). In addition, there are more than one billion adults worldwide today who are overweight.…”

PrefaceNanotechnology is the use of materials with at least one direction less than 100 nm, so called nanomaterials. Examples of common nanomaterials include particles, fibers, tubes, coating features, etc. all with at least one dimension less than 100 nm. Nanotechnology has already begun to revolutionize numerous science and engineering fields, including, but not limited to fabricating faster and more light-weight computers, stronger buildings (even the consideration of building an elevator from the earth to the moon), improved catalytic devices, and medicine where several nanomaterials have been FDA approved for clinical use. In medicine, numerous researchers are searching for ways to make medicine more personal, and, nanotechnology may provide the answer. Imagine the day when we can utilize sensors placed in various parts throughout the body to determine, in real-time, biological events. Moreover, imagine a day when that same device can send information from inside to outside the body to help a clinician treat a medical problem that would be diagnosed using traditional medical imaging. Lastly, imagine a day when that same device could be programmed to reverse adverse biological events to ensure a healthier, more active patient. This book will examine the role that nanomaterials are playing in the above, specifically, in designing sensors that can diagnosis and treat diseases inside the body.To introduce the reader to this exciting and fast-moving subject, this book will first provide a forward from the medical device industry concerning the importance of developing in situ sensors to diagnosis and treat diseases in ways we are currently not able to (since, after all, the best way to a fight disease or a medical problem is at the site at which it occurs, not necessarily through conventional systemic drug delivery which takes time and efficacy is lost as drugs pass through the body partially ending up at the disease location). The first chapter will then describe fundamentals of cancer and how in situ sensors are being used to treat cancer. Clearly, cancer remains one of our foremost diseases and nanotechnology-derived sensors are making much progress towards a personalized care of select cancers. The second chapter will then cover the fundamentals of how our tissues heal and how nanosensors can be used to promote tissue healing. Excessive inflammation (often leading to scar tissue growth) and infection often disrupt healing. Thus, the third chapter will cover the fundamentals of inflammation and infection a...

“…The most immediate consequence of this demographic change is the increasing prevalence of chronic and agerelated diseases, e.g., dementia, congestive heart failure, sleep apnea, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [2][3][4], and also the growing safety-related issues due to the declined physical and cognitive abilities. These issues create heavy demand on medical and care services, making safety and health a primary concern for most of the elderly people.…”

With more and more elders in most countries, the health and safety issues become the primary concern for elderly people because ageing is often associated with physical and cognitive impairments. In order to provide intelligent assistive services for elders, in this paper, we propose an integrated service platform that can accommodate safety assurance, daily activity assistance, and health support services. Specifically, the platform takes care of anomalous events detection, daily activities tracking, and health status monitoring leveraging stationary sensors deployed in living environments and mobile sensing artifacts carried by elders. The services in this integrated platform can ensure safety and independency of elders, they can also help them sustain and/or improve health condition with personalized health support. Based on the proposed platform, we present a case study of assistive safety assurance service -wandering detection, which monitors an elder's outdoor movements by using GPS sensor embedded in smart phone and recognizes the lapping or pacing movement pattern to find potential wandering behavior. The experimental results show that our method works well in detecting wandering behavior in terms of detection rate and false alarm rate.
