In this paper, we propose a low cost, robust vision based system for monitoring patient movements during stereotactic radiotherapy: the Monocular Visual Patient Movement Monitoring (MVPM) System. The system consists of a light weight mouth bite with dual fiducial system used for position tracking. One set of fiducials consist of easy-to-detect checkerboard whose 3D position can be tracked using...

In this paper an intelligent system for remote patient physical condition monitoring service module for an Intelligent Robot Swarm for Attendance, Recognition, Cleaning and Delivery (iWARD) [1] is reported. The system algorithm and module software is implemented in C/C++, and the Orca robotics [2] components use the OpenCV [3] image analysis and processing library. The system is successfully te...

This paper, presents a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for monitoring patient’s physiological conditions continuously using Zigbee. Here the physiological conditions of the patient's are monitored by sensors and the output of these sensors is transmitted via Zigbee and the same has to be sent to the remote wireless monitor for acquiring the observed patient’s physiological signal. The remote wire...

Health care systems are struggling to meet the requirements of the elderly population. These systems need to be more advanced with the advent of new technologies. This paper aims at providing immediate care to the serious patients in case of the emergency. The proposed system measures and monitors heart rate and pulse rate of the patient from a distance, that is, wirelessly. Wireless technologi...

Recent technological advances in wireless communications and wireless sensor networks have enabled the design of low-cost, intelligent, tiny, and lightweight medical sensor nodes that can be strategically placed on human body to create a Bio Medical Sensor Network (BSN) to monitor various physiological vital signs of patient for a long period of time and providing real-time feedback to the user...

In this paper, a new method of patient monitoring system has been proposed by employing a system on programmable chip (SOPC) using field programmable gate array (FPGA) processor, due to drawbacks in embedded based patient monitoring system. SOPC based FPGA system measures multiple bio-signals such as Electrocardiogram (ECG), saturation level of oxygen (SaO2) in hemoglobin, body temperature and ...

Telemedicine is a rapidly developing application of clinic medicine where medical information is transferred through the phone or internet or other networks for the purpose of consulting and performing remote medical procedures or examinations. Telemedicine can be applied to a greater extend in the field of cardiology where ECG serves as the major tool. This project elaborates the experience; a...

Patient monitoring systems are becoming important in patient care and can provide useful feedback for clinicians and caregivers on health-related issues. These systems can also be beneficial for the patients themselves and improve their quality of life and care. In an ongoing European project, called Dem@Care, we are dealing with assessment of dementia signs in monitored subjects using multiple...

The Internet of Things is an emerging topic of technical, social, and economic significance. Consumer products, durable goods, cars and trucks, industrial and utility components, sensors, and other everyday objects are being combined with Internet connectivity and powerful data analytic capabilities that promise to transform the way we work, live, and play. Projections for the impact of IoT on ...

We aim to improve physiotherapy patients’ recovery time by monitoring various prescribed tasks and displaying a score associated with how well the patient has performed said task. This kind of feedback would be desirable in situations where physical proximity between the physiotherapist and his patient is not always convenient or achievable. Having a way to remotely perform and receive feedback...
