Web enablement of sensor data is an important mission in providing anywhere anytime access. Particularly, it is essential in Tele-health monitoring of geriatric patient who are alone at home. For continuous monitoring, it requires the patient to wear wireless body sensors which give information about his vital parameters. Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) provides a platform for making the raw sensor data available on the web so that it becomes accessible to doctors for making clinical diagnosis. The challenges involved are effective collection of sensor data and bringing them to web using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), complexity in finding relationship between raw events, developing rules for identifying patterns that pose a threat and generating alerts to patient, caregivers and doctors, dealing storage and privacy issues in accessing data on web and developing algorithm for fast and accurate fall detection. This talk addresses those challenges by providing possible solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
