Working collaboratively with surrounding ioT devices, type (natural/abnormal) also identified reported to end-user. The...
Many countries are facing burdens on their health care systems due to ageing populations. A promising strategy address the problem is allow selected people remain in homes and be monitored using recent advances wearable devices, saving in-hospital resources. With respect heart monitoring, devices date have principally used optical techniques by shining light through skin. However, these severely hampered motion artifacts limited rate detection. Further, consume a large amount of power order...
The efficient and effective deployment of Internet Things (IoT) systems in real world scenarios remains a challenge, particularly applications such as indoor localisation. Various methods have been proposed recently to calibrate localisation systems, ranging from precise but time consuming processes those involving little explicit calibration based on crowdsourced collection data over time. However it is not clear how estimate compare the quality specific instance calibration. In this paper...
Non-invasive, environmental monitoring is being successfully utilised to improve health care outcomes for patients while allowing them more safely and comfortably live in their homes instead of facilities.
