Our design uses image processing methods to monitor and record human breath fluctuation and to calculate the breath rate. If the breath rate is too low, too fast or if an individual's breathing stops for more than 10 seconds, our design sends out an alarm signal. Our EMSFBD consists of two parts. For the first part double Webcams are used to capture images and to transmit them to an embedded board. For the second part an image processing program using a temporal differencing algorithm to detect chest expansion and contraction to determine the breath rate is installed in the embedded board.","PeriodicalId":112608,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123281232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For that purpose, we suggest the embedding of an image signature or digest derived from Geometric moments of image pixel blocks. Image integrity verification is then conducted by comparing this embedded signature to the recomputed one. This signature helps to approximate modifications by determining the parameters of the nearest generalized 2D Gaussian. Experimental results with local image modification illustrate the overall performances of our method.","PeriodicalId":112608,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129602949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current approaches often use entirely web based solutions, however with mobile phones being extremely widespread and becoming ever more powerful, there is a strong case to be made for their use as interfaces to wearable health sensors. Phones provide a socially appropriate means of displaying timely information to the user and enable the sensors to transmit measurements directly to health care providers. In this paper we demonstrate the advantages of their use in this manner; outline the current consumer smart phone landscape from this perspective and introduce an information architecture for sensor message management on mobile devices. The architecture focuses on ease of access to constantly updating sensor readings and allows many data sources to feed many data consumers simultaneously. While designed for use with a fall and mobility sensor, it may be equally well adapted for use with any other health or vital signs sensor.","PeriodicalId":112608,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124484447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we show the advantages of using a web app for patient data collection, as an imaging engine, and for patient feedback and survey systems.

To speed up the development process and to make the applications more adaptive and flexible to special user needs as well as to ensure compatibility throughout systems a common middleware with standardized interfaces is desirable. The integration of off-the-shelf sensor hardware is an important aspect to assure longterm applicability and interoperability. AIT Austrian Institute of Technology has developed a modular software platform providing services to enable independent living for elder people at home. The platform is based on state-of-the-art software development techniques like OSGi and Spring, which enable modularity and flexibility. The aspect of interoperability at the hardware level is considered by integrating standards from the two areas of medical informatics and home automation. A hardware abstraction module harmonizes data from different sensor networks in terms of a common data format. Based on sensor data, functionalities for the detection of specific events and situations in the AAL domain have been implemented using finite state machines and simple statistical methods.","PeriodicalId":112608,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125086108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
