DISCUSSION: Despite the many problems still encountered such as technological problems related to sensors and some problems like battery replacement, we could transfer the data of glucometer and ECG sensors to web-server via ZigBee protocol. Authors think the ZigBee could … Continued
CONCLUSIONS: Simulation results showed that the embedded DCT-CSPIHT image compression reduced the computational complexity to only a quarter of the wavelet-based subband decomposition, and improved the quality of the reconstructed medical image as given by both the peak signal-to-noise ratio … Continued
CONCLUSION: This study removes some uncertainties regarding the feasibility of introducing speech recognition for anaesthesia records during operations, and provides an overview of the interaction of several parameters that are traditionally studied separately. PMID: 17194621 [PubMed – as supplied by … Continued
Conclusions: Our findings indicate that participants’ attitudes towards the idea of wireless sensor networks for health monitoring are generally positive. The exploratory findings along with the literature suggest a number of relationships which can be used in future survey design … Continued
Abstract: Patients’ medical data have been originally generated and maintained by health professionals in several independent electronic health records (EHRs). Centralized electronic health records accumulate medical data of patients to improve their availability and completeness; EHRs are not tied to … Continued
Conclusions: After experimental testing, BUCINATOR shows great potential to be a reliable bed-exit alarm system. In general, bed-exit alarm systems with extended features could play a major role in ambient assisted living technologies.Limitations: Besides the theoretical evaluation, it will be … Continued
CONCLUSION: The log file appears to be a valuable source for analyzing physicians’ behavior on reminders if well designed with the CPOE. Hospitals, clinicians and patients should pay more attention and be seriously concerned about CPOE reminders. It is also … Continued
