Automatic fall detection is an active research area since several years. Basically, this motivated by the impact that falls have, in terms of mortality, morbidity, and social costs, which make them comparable to road traffic injuries. The early a can be critical reduce mortality rate limit associated health consequences. Technological solutions designed automatically detect notify may classified into wearable non-wearable. Among former ones, use specific devices worn subject very common...
Mutations in genes encoding chromatin-remodeling proteins are often identified a variety of cancers. For example, the histone demethylase JARID1C is frequently inactivated patients with clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC); however, it largely unknown how dysfunction promotes cancer. Here, we determined that binds broadly to chromatin domains characterized by trimethylation lysine 9 (H3K9me3), which mark enriched heterochromatin. Moreover, found localizes on heterochromatin, required for...
In recent years, Internet of Things technologies gained momentum in various application areas, including the Smart Home field. this view, smart objects available house can communicate with each other and outside world by adopting solutions already proposed for Things. fact, among challenges to face during design implementation an Things–based infrastructure, battery usage represents a key point realization efficient solution. context, communication technology chosen plays fundamental role,...
The paradigmatic shift brought by the Internet of Things has already revolutionized many key sectors, like environmental monitoring, grid and energy management, manufacturing, it can be seen as a promising solution to address challenging societal issues, ability provide significant enhancement quality life for elderly and, in general, people need. As consequence, emerges also possible next evolution Ambient Assisted Living domain. One major issue this context is identification suitable...
Sleep is fundamental to health, performance and well-being. Studies demonstrate that, in some countries, sleep disorders are reaching epidemic levels. For this reason, automatic recognition systems can be helpful, on the one hand, foster self awareness of own habits and, other, implement environment management policies encourage sleep. In context, we propose an unobtrusive smartphone application which relies contextual usage information infer real-time. We test selected features using...
The concept of Internet Things is being applied in several areas and involves a dramatically increasing number market sectors. There large variety commercial products, the competition between different vendors often causes incompatibility among available solutions. Due to lack reference standard, highly fragmented arena Ambient Assisted Living systems Smart Home environments, support interoperability recognized as key requirement for deployment successful products. This paper provides...
In the framework of Ambient Assisted Living solutions, it is very important to monitor degree vitality elderly users in their daily activities, for example evaluate if user spending too much time a static condition, or not. fact this could denote an anomalous trend, possibly related cognitive physical conditions worsening. For such kind monitoring be effective, sensor technology shall less intrusive as possible, and not require any specific action by user. To aim, paper presents smart insole...
The number of patients affected by Alzheimer's disease among the population is currently growing, while availability resources for their assistance decreasing.A solution this problem provided use Ambient Assisted Living technologies, with objectives to prolong independent living at home, relieve burden on caregivers, and improve care effectiveness in nursing homes.This paper describes an integrated system designed support work nurses during night, ensure comfort safety homes.The project...
The adoption of the Internet Things paradigm in Ambient Assisted Living platforms requires investigation and analysis issues related to data collection processing. In fact, peculiarities services applications pose specific requirements on way originated from sensors should be processed (locally or remotely), delivered (as raw data, aggregated fashion), and, course, how they shared protected. This paper analyses management starting a review state art, order draw general trends widespread...
Systems for well-being and active aging increasingly rely on wireless technologies, as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), featuring low-power consumption. The wearable system presented in this paper consists of sensorized shoes connected via BLE to a smartphone. peculiar streaming scenario, characterized by low throughput, but strict reliability requirements, has been modeled, an experimental evaluation the performed. This study shows that fulfills opening way further investigations power...
The paper presents a computer vision application, to enable message composition by head tracking. application runs in real time on portable Android devices, exploits the available camera sensors, and accomplishes device computational requirements. Satisfactory results correct movements detection, reliable of messages, are obtained experiments.
