Current progress in wearable and implanted health monitoring technologies has strong potential to alter the future of healthcare services by enabling ubiquitous monitoring of patients. A typical health monitoring system consists of a network of wearable or implanted sensors that constantly monitor physiological parameters. Collected data are relayed using existing wireless communication protocols to a base station for additional processing. This article provides researchers with information to compare the existing low-power communication technologies that can potentially support the rapid development and deployment of WBAN systems, and mainly focuses on remote monitoring of elderly or chronically ill patients in residential environments.
In recent years, with the rapid development of Internet technology, online shopping has become a mainstream way for users to purchase and consume. Sentiment analysis of a large number of user reviews on e-commerce platforms can effectively improve user satisfaction. This paper proposes a new sentiment analysis model-SLCABG, which is based on the sentiment lexicon and combines Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and attention-based Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU). In terms of methods, the SLCABG model combines the advantages of sentiment lexicon and deep learning technology, and overcomes the shortcomings of existing sentiment analysis model of product reviews. The SLCABG model combines the advantages of the sentiment lexicon and deep learning techniques. First, the sentiment lexicon is used to enhance the sentiment features in the reviews. Then the CNN and the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) network are used to extract the main sentiment features and context features in the reviews and use the attention mechanism to weight. And finally classify the weighted sentiment features. In terms of data, this paper crawls and cleans the real book evaluation of dangdang.com, a famous Chinese e-commerce website, for training and testing, all of which are based on Chinese. The scale of the data has reached 100000 orders of magnitude, which can be widely used in the field of Chinese sentiment analysis. The experimental results show that the model can effectively improve the performance of text sentiment analysis.
Traditional Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with one static sink node suffer from the well-known hot spot problem, that of sensor nodes near the static sink bear more traffic load than outlying nodes. Thus the overall network lifetime is reduced due to the fact some nodes deplete their energy reserves much faster compared to the rest. Recently, adopting sink mobility has been considered as a good strategy to overcome the hot spot problem. Mobile sink(s) physically move within the network and communicate with selected nodes, such as cluster heads (CHs), to perform direct data collection through short range communications that requires no routing. Finding an optimal mobility trajectory for the mobile sink is critical in order to achieve energy efficiency. Taking hints from nature, the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm has been seem as a good solution to finding an optimal traversal path. Whereas the traditional ACO algorithm will guide ants to take a small step to the next node using current information, over time they will deviate from the target. Likewise, a mobile sink may communicate with selected node for a relatively long time making the traditional ACO algorithm delays not suitable for high real-time WSNs applications. In this paper, we propose an improved ACO algorithm approach for WSNs that use mobile sinks by considering CH distances. In this research, the network is divided into several clusters and each cluster has one CH. While the distance between CHs are considered under the traditional ACO algorithm, the mobile sink node finds an optimal mobility trajectory to communicate with CHs under our improved ACO algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve wireless sensor network performance compared to other routing algorithms.
Wireless technology development has increased rapidly due to it's convenience and cost effectiveness compared to wired applications, particularly considering the advantages offered by Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based applications. Such applications exist in several domains including healthcare, medical, industrial and home automation. In the present study, a home-based wireless ECG monitoring system using Zigbee technology is considered. Such systems can be useful for monitoring people in their own home as well as for periodic monitoring by physicians for appropriate healthcare, allowing people to live in their home for longer. Health monitoring systems can continuously monitor many physiological signals and offer further analysis and interpretation. The characteristics and drawbacks of these systems may affect the wearer's mobility during monitoring the vital signs. Real-time monitoring systems record, measure, and monitor the heart electrical activity while maintaining the consumer's comfort. Zigbee devices can offer low-power, small size, and a low-cost suitable solution for monitoring the ECG signal in the home, but such systems are often designed in isolation, with no consideration of existing home control networks and smart home solutions. The present study offers a state of the art review and then introduces the main concepts and contents of the wireless ECG monitoring systems. In addition, models of the ECG signal and the power consumption formulas are highlighted. Challenges and future perspectives are also reported. The paper concludes that such mass-market health monitoring systems will only be prevalent when implemented together with home environmental monitoring and control systems.
