With more and more patients and their different conditions and drugs, the effectiveness of follow-up faces obstacles. The development and popularity of mobile internet technology, makes it possible for changing the way of follow-up from traditional telephones and letters to modern mobile devices based follow-up system. In this paper, we design a follow-up system, to handle a large quantity of follow-up data. The system could gather medical data, such as treatment information, medicine information and health condition, from medical data center, and push the information to real-name binding patient devices. Discharged patient fills in the questionnaire survey on devices and sends feedback to medical data center. The data center applies a series of professional rules to follow-up data, and reports the patients with potential risk to corresponding doctors in charge. With real-name binding and SSL encryption technique, the privacy of patient is guaranteed.","PeriodicalId":150578,"journal":{"name":"2013 First International Symposium on Future Information and Communication Technologies for Ubiquitous HealthCare (Ubi-HealthTech)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133210449","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}

A health care based pervasive emergency response system has an important role to maintain safe and convenient living for the aging society. In this paper, we analyze the mechanisms of multi-agent interactions in personal health care based emergency response systems. We propose an in-home pervasive interaction based intelligent virtual agent as the center of the multi-agent health care models. We propose several approaches to analyze the interactions based on sequential decision processes and game theory, which will be helpful for the design of the home health care emergency response interaction systems.","PeriodicalId":150578,"journal":{"name":"2013 First International Symposium on Future Information and Communication Technologies for Ubiquitous HealthCare (Ubi-HealthTech)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121986616","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}

Patients can be treated with balance retraining exercises but the improvement is not likely to be full recovery. Based on brain plasticity and sensory substitution, this paper proposed noninvasive vibrotactile stimulator prosthesis to help BVD patients to get their bodies' movement information which can be used to keep balance. We designed a vestibular sensory substitution system, called vibrotactile balance belt, which feed the patients with balance information an array of vibrotactile stimulators. With proper physical training and exercises, patients can regain or enhance their balance ability with the help of vibrotactile stimulators. In this paper, we designed a prototype system, which used acceleration sensor, gyro sensor and magnetic field sensor to detect body's linear and rotational motion. Multiple vibrotactile stimulator encodings were considered. And we also discussed the optimal stimulus encoding and the stimulus position to avoid the problem of reduced sensitivity effect while the stimulatory signals frequently generated.","PeriodicalId":150578,"journal":{"name":"2013 First International Symposium on Future Information and Communication Technologies for Ubiquitous HealthCare (Ubi-HealthTech)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122204766","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}

By implementing speaker recognition, remote network camera control and two-way video/audio streaming over secure communication protocols, our integrated system acts like a proof of concept for low-cost medical tele-consultation solutions. The system consists of Android tablet application, central processing server and lightweight client software at a patient's PC. The processing server can be embedded in future cloud-based health solutions and client software can be ported to Smart-TV platforms.
