Tobacco smoke air pollution (TSAP) measurement may persuade parents to adopt smoke-free homes and thereby reduce harm to children from tobacco smoke in the home. In a pilot study involving 29 smoking families, a Sidepak was used to continuously monitor home PM(2.5) during an 8-h period, Sidepak and/or Dylos monitors provided real-time feedback, and passive nicotine monitors were used to measure...

This paper describes the development of a reliable multisensor data fusion system for monitoring patient vital-signs in the home. Initial investigatory work has taken place using ambulatory hospital patients, in the Oxford Cancer Hospital. Our monitoring approach is based on a probabilistic model of normality learned from a data-set of vital signs acquired from a representative group of high-ri...

The objective of this research is from radar life parameter monitoring system for respiration and heartbeat signal separation, therefore the characteristic parameters of respiration; heartbeat could be extracted to provide the basis for family care and disease prevention. This paper put forward a method to analyze the characteristics of the echo signal, improve adaptive filter harmonic combinat...

Daily nocturnal hemodialysis (DNHD) is a new variant of home hemodialysis that allows patients to dialyze at home, at night, while they sleep, providing longer duration and greater frequency of treatments. This paper describes a 3-year experience with remote monitoring of DNHD patients over the Internet, and we review the remote monitoring experience of the Toronto program, which pioneered DNHD...

Wireless sensor network (WSN) have become one of the most promising technology in sensing application environment. WSNs environment are able to provide a flexible deployment and maintenance of sensor networks. The sensor nodes can be deployed in highly dynamic environments and hence enable sensor networks to be potentially used in a wide range environment including military applications, securi...
