Home Health Monitoring
J Med Dent Sci, 1998Co-Authors: Tadayasu TogawaAbstract:Due to the general aging of society, increasing national medical expenditures are becoming a serious problem. It is thus highly desirable to reduce the need for medical services by maintaining the population in good Health. Intensive Monitoring of Health parameters will become a necessary means for attaining good Health at all times. Technology for Health Monitoring, however, is only recently being developed. A concept of home Health Monitoring is proposed by which Health parameters are automatically monitored at home without disturbing daily activities. There are many attempts being made to realize this concept. This article reviews these attempts at developing home Health Monitoring techniques, which include Monitoring during sleep, via the bath tub or toilet seat, as well as during daily activities. Preliminary studies show that home Health Monitoring can be achieved even by means of simple sensors and instruments. There are also many possible applications for advanced technologies. Potential future technologies for home Health Monitoring include automatic blood pressure measurement via the toilet seat, automatic blood sampling with a device mimicking a mosquito, and artificial noses for detecting smells.

Smart Health Monitoring systems: An overview of design and modeling
Journal of Medical Systems, 2013Co-Authors: Mirza Mansoor Baig, Hamid GholamhosseiniAbstract:Health Monitoring systems have rapidly evolved during the past two decades and have the potential to change the way Health care is currently delivered. Although smart Health Monitoring systems automate patient Monitoring tasks and, thereby improve the patient workflow management, their efficiency in clinical settings is still debatable. This paper presents a review of smart Health Monitoring systems and an overview of their design and modeling. Furthermore, a critical analysis of the efficiency, clinical acceptability, strategies and recommendations on improving current Health Monitoring systems will be presented. The main aim is to review current state of the art Monitoring systems and to perform extensive and an in-depth analysis of the findings in the area of smart Health Monitoring systems. In order to achieve this, over fifty different Monitoring systems have been selected, categorized, classified and compared. Finally, major advances in the system design level have been discussed, current issues facing Health care providers, as well as the potential challenges to Health Monitoring field will be identified and compared to other similar systems.

personal gateway in mobile Health Monitoring
IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications, 2011Co-Authors: Sungwon Yang, Mario GerlaAbstract:Recent technological advances in miniaturization of wireless portable bio-sensors and the versatility of smart phones have enabled the design and proliferation of continuous mobile Health Monitoring. A single smart phone is used as a gateway that interconnects sensors and remote servers in many Health networking platforms. However, previous implementations lack a thorough assessment of the phone as they conduct evaluations with only the Monitoring program running on it. In this paper, we examine the practicality of a smart phone through test-bed experiments in which the Health Monitoring software is running together with various smart phone applications. Based on the experiment results and observations, we conclude that a single smart phone is not adequate to satisfy full utilization of both the Health Monitoring service and the smart phone functionality. To ensure full utilization, we propose a PHM-Gate (Personal Health Monitoring Gateway). PHM-Gate is a special device that removes the restrictions caused by using a single gateway. A Bluetooth communication technique that enables PHM-Gate to successfully perform the Monitoring tasks in collaboration with a smart phone is presented in this paper.

Toward flexible and wearable human-interactive Health-Monitoring devices
Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2015Co-Authors: Kuniharu Takei, Wataru Honda, Takayuki Arie, Shingo Harada, Seiji AkitaAbstract:This Progress Report introduces flexible wearable Health-Monitoring devices that interact with a person by detecting from and stimulating the body. Interactive Health-Monitoring devices should be highly flexible and attach to the body without awareness like a bandage. This type of wearable Health-Monitoring device will realize a new class of electronics, which will be applicable not only to Health Monitoring, but also to other electrical devices. However, to realize wearable Health-Monitoring devices, many obstacles must be overcome to economically form the active electrical components on a flexible substrate using macroscale fabrication processes. In particular, Health-Monitoring sensors and curing functions need to be integrated. Here recent developments and advancements toward flexible Health-Monitoring devices are presented, including conceptual designs of human-interactive devices.
