u-Health care has to measure various vital sign. Currently, Personal Health Device (PHD) communicates with a gateway. Then, vital sign transmitted from Gateway to monitoring system. Recently, auto diagnosis is trend in the medical industry. The auto diagnosis has to measure various vital sign to a patient. In this research, we facilitate communication among various PHD in order to reduce transm...

PURPOSE To determine the utility of pulse oximetry as a routine fifth vital sign in acute pediatric assessment. DESIGN Prospective study using pulse oximetry to measure oxygen saturation in children presenting to emergency department triage. Saturation values were disclosed to clinicians only after they had completed medical evaluations and were ready to discharge or admit each child. We meas...

Non-contact respiration and heartbeat rates detection could be applied to find survivors trapped in the disaster or the remote monitoring of the respiration and heartbeat of a patient. This study presents an improved algorithm that extracts the respiration and heartbeat rates of humans by utilizing the terahertz radar, which further lessens the effects of noise, suppresses the cross-term, and e...

OBJECTIVE Development of a clinical sensor network system that automatically collects vital sign and its supplemental data, and evaluation the effect of automatic vital sensor value assignment to patients based on locations of sensors. METHODS The sensor network estimates the data-source, a target patient, from the position of a vital sign sensor obtained from a newly developed proximity sens...

In space missions, during the long isolation at extreme conditions for human health, it is of paramount importance to monitor vital parameters. One such parameter is the breathing rate. Indeed, several factors can induce some breathing anomalies during the sleep, which may cause apnea episodes. In order to act timely with the right therapy, an early diagnosis is required. Conventional devices a...

The number of avoidable cardiac arrests and unplanned admissions to ICU in step-down units (SDUs) remains too high. We have previously shown how a data fusion index, based on the integration of vital signs continuously monitored in SDUs, can identify the cardio-respiratory instability which often precedes these adverse events [1]. We show how the correlations between vital signs, captured in a ...

Objective: Development of a clinical sensor network system that automatically collects vital sign and its supplemental data, and evaluation the effect of automatic vital sensor value assignment to patients based on locations of sensors. Methods: The sensor network estimates the data-source, a target patient, from the position of a vital sign sensor obtained from a newly developed proximity sens...

Health literacy refers to an individual’s ability navigate the healthcare system and make health-related decisions. Numerous studies link low health with poor outcomes in chronic diseases; however, few investigate impact of a surgical setting. Appropriate wound care pain medication use are imperative for safe recovery after Mohs surgery. Because this, it is interest explore relationship between...

INTRODUCTION The survival of patients admitted to an emergency department is determined by the severity of acute illness and the quality of care provided. The high number and the wide spectrum of severity of illness of admitted patients make an immediate assessment of all patients unrealistic. The aim of this study is to evaluate a scoring system based on readily available physiological paramet...

In this paper, we present user pattern learning algorithm based MDSS (Medical Decision support system) under ubiquitous. Most of researches are focus on hardware system, hospital management and whole concept of ubiquitous environment even though it is hard to implement. Our objective of this paper is to design a MDSS framework. It helps to patient for medical treatment and prevention of the hig...
