An Architecture to Combine Context Awareness and Body Sensor Networks for Health Care Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information derived from wearable sensors, such as illness/fall alarms, can be enhanced with context information to provide advanced health care and assisted living applications. In this paper we describe an architecture that combines sensor and context data into a telecommunication service to detect emergency situations and generate alarm calls according to user’s preferences and contacts geographic proximity.
