WeCare: Wireless enhanced healthcare

2010-10-11
In-home pervasive healthcare systems provide rich contextual information and alerting mechanisms against odd conditions with continuous monitoring. This minimizes the need for caregivers and help the chronically ill and elderly to survive an independent life. In this study, we present a webbased indoor monitoring system, namely WeCare, and showed the applicability of multi-modal sensor network technologies on healthcare monitoring.

Wireless Healthcare Monitoring with RFID-Enhanced Video Sensor Networks
Alemdar, Hande; Ersoy, Cem (SAGE Publications, 2010-01-01)
In pervasive healthcare systems, WSNs provide rich contextual information and alerting mechanisms against odd conditions with continuous monitoring. Furthermore, they minimize the need for caregivers and help the chronically ill and elderly to survive an independent life. In this paper, we propose an outdoor monitoring environment and evaluate the capabilities of video sensor networks for healthcare monitoring in an outdoor setting. The results exhibit that their capabilities are limited. For this reason, w...
Collaborative Business Process Support in eHealth: Integrating IHE Profiles Through ebXML Business Process Specification Language
Doğaç, Asuman; Kabak, Yildiray; Namli, Tuncay; Okcan, Alper (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-11-01)
Integrating healthcare enterprise (IHE) specifies integration profiles describing selected real world use cases to facilitate the interoperability of healthcare information resources. While realizing a complex real-world scenario, IHE profiles are combined by grouping the related IHE actors. Grouping IHE actors implies that the associated business processes (IHE profiles) that the actors are involved must be combined, that is, the choreography of the resulting collaborative business process must be determin...
Design of fully ıntegrated milliwatt thermoelectric energy harvesting ınterface circuit for wireless body sensor networks
Demir, Süleyman Mahircan; Muhtaroğlu, Ali; Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-12)
Wireless body sensor networks have drawn significant attention for providing out-of-hospital diagnosis and remote abnormality monitoring, which are vitally important for millions of people suffering from chronic diseases. Batteries powering these sensor networks hurt their mobility and longevity due to their bulkiness and down-time during charging or replacement. Therefore, this study focuses on thermoelectric energy harvesting from body heat, and targets eventual replacement of batteries by generating powe...

Adoption factors of health monitoring systems for smart healthcare: a systematic review
Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (null; 2019-04-13)
Although there have been several studies that focus on technical aspects of health monitoring systems, adoption of these systems remains largely unknown. A limited number of researches has explored the factors influencing users’ adoption of these systems that provide successful system implementation. In this study, we reviewed articles addresses the adoption of health monitoring systems. We extract criteria that influence the adoption decision that has been made at some stage to use health monitoring system...
