PURPOSE OF REVIEW Rehabilitation for sensorimotor impairments aims to improve daily activities, walking, exercise, and motor skills. Monitoring of practice and measuring outcomes, however, is usually restricted to laboratory-based procedures and self-reports. Mobile health devices may reverse these confounders of daily care and research trials. RECENT FINDINGS Wearable, wireless motion sensor...

A framework for the autonomous management of large-scale ubiquitous sensor networks called SNOWMAN (SeNsOr netWork MANagement) is proposed in this paper. In large-scale ubiquitous sensor networks, a huge number of sensor nodes are deployed over a wide area and long distances and multi-hop communication is required between nodes. So managing numerous ubiquitous sensor nodes directly is very comp...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are worthy to use in ubiquitous healthcare environments. They provide comfort to patients and make patient monitoring systems more efficient. WSN, when applied in ubiquitous healthcare environments, have different characteristics and security requirements. Number of sensors is very small as compared to other WSN applications and all nodes are close to each other i...

The rapid aging of the world’s population, along with an increase in the prevalence of chronic illnesses, requires adaption and modification of current healthcare models. New trends on healthcare technologies fall into the use of autonomous systems that allows the capturing and monitoring of physiological parameters anytime and anywhere. One approach involves tele-health applications, many of w...

in today's business environment in which coordination and adaptation with constant changes are the only ways of survival, real-time monitoring of activities and making the decisions accordingly are necessary. since performance measurement cannot be managed independent of business processes, business activity monitoring (bam) systems should monitor performance metrics based on business processes...

Accurate and efficient monitoring of dynamically changing environments is one of the most important requirements for ubiquitous network environments. Ubiquitous computing provides intelligent environments which are aware of spatial conditions and can provide timely and useful information to users or devices. Also, the growth of embedded systems and wireless communication technology has made it ...

This study investigated how ubiquitous game-based system influence learning motivation for junior high school students. The English course was conducted on a campus by using a ubiquitous learning system called the Handheld English Language Learning Organization (HELLO). Two group students participated in the learning activities prescribed in a curriculum by separately using ubiquitous game-base...

2. The vision of ubiquitous computing (UC) More than a decade after its invention, Mark Weiser’s vision of ubiquitous computing finally seems to spark many research activities world wide. This article reviews the ideas behind ubiquitous computing and puts them into the context of the technical possibilities of today and tomorrow. The lack of appropriate software engineering approaches is identi...
