Paper Abstract:
|
Recent advances in information and communication technologies and wireless sensor networks present opportunities to
develop effective assistive health care services that have the potential for reducing the cost of the overall healthcare
systems. This paper proposes a health-monitoring architecture that possesses a configurable front end for handling
different types of sensors and data conditions, that responds quickly and intelligently to the patients conditions and that
permits reliable notifications and dynamic interactions among carers and patients. The paper focuses on the design of this
assistive health care monitoring architecture with wireless sensors and wireless networks. The active database technology
approach is deployed to introduce the active mechanism to closely monitor the changes of the health data in the database
and detect any important health events of interest. Upon event occurrences, alerts and notifications are communicated to
the relevant users through a set of proposed interaction protocols. Part of the framework has been implemented in the
Active Maternity Care application. |
