Complex Home Monitoring

Home blood pressure monitoring.

Home blood pressure monitoring.

Home blood pressure monitoring Shah and colleagues found patients with heart failure who lived in areas of socioeconomic deprivation were less likely than those in more affluent areas to be treated with recommended beta blockers. 1 We recently investigated use of home blood pressure (BP) monitoring in stroke patients registered at a deprived inner city general practice in Lambeth. In March 2008...

Home monitoring for central apnoea.

Between July 1978 and December 1981, 64 infants thought to be at increased risk from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) were monitored at home for central apnoea. Twenty four of the infants had had a 'near miss' episode at age, median (range), 6 (1 to 33) weeks, and of these infants 22 had had 335 alarms for apnoea by age 6 months. Stimulation by shaking was carried out on 38 occasions and bag...

Basics of home glucose monitoring.

Statistics from the American Diabetes Association reflect that 20.8 million children and adults — 7% of the population in the United States — have diabetes. Of these, 14.6 million have been diagnosed, while the remaining 6.2 million are not aware that they suffer from the disease. The disease is one in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone needed to convert sugar, s...

Monitoring user activities in smart home environments

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) enable smart environments to create pervasive and ubiquitous applications, which give context-aware and scalable services to the end users. In this paper, we propose an architecture and design of a web application for a sensor network monitoring. Further, the variation in received signal strength indicator values is used for knowledge extraction. Experiments are ...
