Epi-spire: a Bio-surveillance Prototype

نویسنده

  • JAMES A. COLLINS
چکیده

Health activity monitoring (HAM) has received increasing attention due to the rapid advances of both hardware and software technologies and strong environmental and public health needs. In this paper, we describe the architecture and implementation of the Epi-SPIRE prototype, which is a novel health activity monitoring system that generates alerts from environmental, behavioral, and public health data sources. A model-based approach is used to develop disease and behavior models from multi-modal heterogeneous data sources. Furthermore, a model-based indexing technique has been developed to speed up the data access and retrieval. This system has been successfully applied to various genuine and simulated diseases outbreaks scenarios.

SPIRE/EPI-SPIRE Model-Based Multi-modal Information Retrieval from Large Archives

In this paper, we describe a new paradigm for information retrieval in which the retrieval target is based on a model. Three types of models – linear, finite state, and knowledge models are discussed. These information retrieval scenarios often arise from applications such as environmental epidemiology, oil/gas production and exploration, and precision agriculture/forestry. Traditional model-ba...

Beyond Ribosomal Binding: The Increased Polarity and Aberrant Molecular Interactions of 3-epi-deoxynivalenol

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a secondary fungal metabolite and contaminant mycotoxin that is widely detected in wheat and corn products cultivated around the world. Bio-remediation methods have been extensively studied in the past two decades and promising ways to reduce DON-associated toxicities have been reported. Bacterial epimerization of DON at the C3 carbon was recently reported to induce a si...

Personal wearable monitor of the heart rate variability

The aim of the paper is to present of a prototype of wearable heart rate variability (HRV) monitor. The home care surveillance and sleep assessment system is partly embedded into a smart home infrastructure and partly worn by a supervised person. The prototype wearable device is designed to acquire and process the electrocardiogram and to send reports accordingly to a programmed schedule. The r...
