Patient monitoring is a major part of many healthcare services. It can reduce the number of un-necessary hospitalizations, while increasing the access to healthcare to those who really need these services. Wireless and mobile technologies are finding a role in patient monitoring in several different environments: homes, hospitals, and nursing homes. However, due to several limitations including...

1. Assess the benefits of combination therapy in treating chronic asthma for pediatric and adult patients. 2. Given patient-specific information, formulate a clinical plan of appropriate pharmacological therapy, monitoring plans, and patient education for adults with chronic asthma. 3. Given patient-specific information, formulate a clinical plan of appropriate pharmacological therapy, monitori...

In this study, a 2.5-year-old boy suffering from a febrile seizure with normal laboratory tests and a history of immune hemolytic anemia was examined. Brain MRI demonstrated some tumors in the frontal, parietal, and occipital lobe that corroborated the pathology results of primary central nervous system lymphoma for the patient. The patient was treated with high- dose of Methotrexate. Our re...

In the last decade, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has become popular in so many fields from military to industry applications. RFID tags have been embedded into many various products especially in logistics sector. A tag stores individual information of its attached object and an RFID reader communicates with the tag in radio frequencies to identify the object. This object to be monitor...

The ever-present hazard in patient monitoring is electrocution resulting in ventricular fibrillation. Fire and explosion hazards are possibilities but seem to be very remote. Iatrogenic electrocution can occur when: (a) more than one piece of electrical equipment is connected to the patient. (b) the distal end of an intracardiac electrode is handled. (c) pericardiocentesis is carried out with E...

In recent years there has been a growing interest in developing Ambient Intelligence based systems in order to create smart environments for user and environmental monitoring. In fact, higher-level monitoring systems with vital information about the user and the environment around him/her represents an improvement of the quality of care provided. In this paper, we propose an architecture that i...
