24/7 Personal Heart Monitoring and Rehabilitation System using Smart Phones and Wireless SensorsDr Valerie Gay and Dr Peter Leijdekkers Tuesday 22nd May 2007 at 11am
AbstractThis presentation describes our work in progress regarding personalized heart monitoring using smart phones. Our research combines ubiquitous computing with mobile health technology. We use wireless sensors and smart phones to monitor the wellbeing of high risk cardiac patients. The smart phone analyses in real-time the ECG data and determines whether the person needs external help. Depending on the situation the smart phone can automatically alert pre assigned caregivers or call the ambulance. It is also used to give advice (e.g. exercise more) or to reassure the patient based on the sensors and environmental data. Short resumeValrie Gay is Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Information Technology, Computer Systems department at UTS. Peter Leijdekkers is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Information Technology at UTS. His research over the last few years has been in the area of 3rd generation telecoms networks and developing prototype applications for these types of networks. These applications run on portable devices enabling people to communicate with each other and to share information. His work on the Mobile MeetMe application focused on facilitating interaction within a virtual community of people that want to meet and exchange information. Typical research issues were how to use location information and profile information effectively. |
