Caregivers experience lower back pain due to their awkward postures while handling patients. Therefore, a monitoring system to supervise caregivers’ postures using wearable sensors is being developed. This study proposed a postural recognition method for caregivers during postural change while handling a patient on a bed. The proposed method recognizes foot positions and arm movements…

In this research human gait database is collected using different possible methods such as Wearable sensors, Smartphone and Cameras. For a gait recognition accelerometer data from wearable shimmer modules and smartphone are used. Data from different sensors location is compared to know which sensor location have better recognition rate. Different walking scenarios like slow, normal…

In this study, two healthy women in their 40s wore Oura Rings on both fingers and verified left and right differences in sleep index. Bed time, sleep time, rem sleep, sleep score, and heart rate had small left and right differences in both subjects, and a high correlation of 0.8 or more was observed(subjectA:P<0.001,subjectB:P<0.01). Subject…

Internet of Things provides a virtual view of real-life things by guiding challenges faced by persons in daily life. It is reforming our world with trillions of sensors and other IoT enabled devices by creating a smart environment. Effective use of IoT sensors in various smart IoT applications is very important. After analyzing different sensor…

Health services are under increasing pressure to reduce large waiting times for appointments. The delayed diagnosis of a human illnesses could have profound consequences for the patient. The large waiting times may be attributed to lack of data, the accuracy of the data or the timeliness of the availability of the data. In addition to…

The monitoring of environmental parameters is a critical topic in occupational medicine. With advances in technology, during the recent years, the wearable sensors are widely used to evaluate the ambient parameters. In this paper a compact, small, light-weighted, and configurable sensor node in three physical layers for prolonged chemical ambient monitoring is described. The device…

Classic surgical skill evaluation is performed by an expert surgeon examining an apprentice in a hospital operating room. This method suffers from being subjective and expensive. As surgery becomes more complex and specialized, there is an increase need for an automated surgical skill evaluation system that is more objective and determines more exactly the skills…
