We cannot believe that it has been more than two decades since we first evaluated real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)—(GlucoWatch ) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The first real-time CGM (GlucoWatch), which uses a reversed iontophoresis to measure interstitial glucose, was approved to be used for 12 h by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1999. Since then, several adva...

This paper describes a novel BSN-based integrated system for detecting, monitoring, and securely recording human physical activities using wearable sensors, a personal mobile device, and a Cloud-computing infrastructure supported by the BodyCloud platform. An integration with a smart-wheelchair system is also presented. BSNs are a key enabling technology for the revolution of personal-health se...

Monitoring selectivity is a key challenge faced by agents when modelling other agents(1) — agents cannot continually monitor others due to the computational burden of such monitoring and modelling, but lack of such monitoring and modelling leads to increased uncertainty about the state of other agents. Such monitoring selectivity is also crucially important when agents engage in planning in the...

Quick fever screening at a mass scale is proven effective during pandemic to single out the ones with suspected symptoms of infectious diseases. However, achieving affordable and real-time alert an individual level, although more preferable, remains elusive. Herein, we report inexpensive highly sensitive detector, which possesses sharp color transition temperature window tailor-tuned for screen...

Background: Different kinds and models of personal dosimeters are used in individual monitoring by workers.  Performance testing as part of approval procedures is carried out to demonstrate that the essential performance specifications are routinely maintained. There are four service providers in Iran which use different luminescence techniques (i. e. TLD and RPL) with various kinds of dos...

Abstract The construction site is one of the most dangerous industries because number occupational injuries and fatalities significantly higher compared to other industries. Proper use personal protective equipment (PPE) by workers can reduce risk fatalities. However, for a variety reasons, tend not wear their PPEs properly. To address these issues, we propose vision-based framework monitoring ...
