Detecting abnormal behaviour by real-tlme monitoring of patients
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with a follow-up system that passively observes elderly people moving about in a hospital setting and records automatically various patterns of activity. The aim is to propose a support tool to help the medical staff make decisions. The system is based on a sensor network connected to a processing unit. The software developed automatically follows the patient’s behaviour and plots statistical curves related to a number of characteristics such as getting up, going to bed, going to the bathroom, etc .... Thus real-time monitoring can be displayed on a graphical interface for the medical staff. Experimental platform using this system is presented along with examples of behaviour monitored during the night.

Design and Evaluation of a Pressure and Temperature Monitoring System for Pressure Ulcer Prevention
Introduction Pressure ulcers are tissue damages resulting from blood flow restriction, which occurs when the tissue is exposed to high pressure for a long period of time. These painful sores are common in patients and elderly, who spend extended periods of time in bed or wheelchair. In this study, a continuous pressure and temperature monitoring system was developed for pressure ulcer preventio...
متن کاملPotentiometric Method to Determine Montelukast Sodium in its Tablets with In-line Monitoring of its Dissolution Behaviour
Direct drug determination without any pervious treatment steps is the most environmentally friendly method of analysis. Traditional analysis methods usually involve a pre-treatment step before analysis and this consumes time and organic solvents. This work describes direct potentiometric method by using ion selective electrode to determine Montelukast Sodium in its pure drug substance and in ta...

متن کاملProposed new signal for real-time stress monitoring: Combination of physiological measures
Human stress is a physiological tension that appears when a person responds to mental, emotional, or physical chal-lenges. Detecting human stress and developing methods to manage it, has become an important issue nowadays. Au-tomatic stress detection through physiological signals may be a useful method for solving this problem. In most of the earlier studies, long-term time window was considere...
متن کاملThe role of oral dipyridamole stress gated SPECT in assessing the response of the left ventricle to stress: Re-evaluation of an old method
Introduction: We aimed to assess whether the vasodilator effect of oral dipyridamole on the left ventricular systolic function in patients with suspected CAD is different from that of intravenous (IV) dipyridamole using Tc-99m MIBI myocardial perfusion gated SPECT. Methods: Eighty-nine patients (17 M / 72 W; 61 ± 10 years) were enrolled in this study. The patients underwent a dipyridamole stre...
