Remote Arrhythmia Monitoring - NASA & MetroHealth System
Submitted: April, 2010

NASA Glenn Research Center has partnered with the MetroHealth System, to develop a heart arrhythmia monitoring system that utilizes Embedded Web Technology to wirelessly transmit real-time EKG data to physicians anywhere in the world.

Health Care Monitoring of Moblie Patients - University of Pisa, Italy
Submitted: April, 2010

ICT has been employed in medicine and health care for many years now with great success. However, the upgrade of existing medical instruments and the design of new medical applications as a result of continuous advances in information technology must not lead to a neglect of the real needs of patients and physicians.

A Real-time Multifunctional System for Home Telehealth by KC Scientific & Technologies (NIH)
Submitted: April, 2010

The focus of this research is remote care delivery and monitoring between a health care provider and a patient living outside of a clinical facility (e.g., home or assisted living residence).

Indiana University Gero-informatics Program
Submitted: April, 2010

The Indiana University Gero-informatics Program (GiP) develops, applies, and studies ways to use information and information systems to improve the health and healthcare of older adults. Areas of work have included telecommunications, electronic referrals, clinical decision support, self-management, patient-oriented decision support, and prescribing for older adults with cognitive impairment or in need of emergency medical services.

Low Cost Wearable Monitoring System(Sensors,Microcontroller,Mobile/Cellular Phone)
Submitted: April, 2010

The project is related to an emerging area of applied research called “wearable computing”. Our task in this project is to design, implement and test a wearable healthcare monitoring system. The main idea is to develop a complete unit consisting of sensors, a digital signal processor or microcontroller, a small battery, etc, that monitors a patient condition and sends information wirelessly to a nurse room or to a doctor’s cell phone alerting them to the condition of the patient and perhaps the location. The unit has to be light, wearable, and consume power efficiently.
