“…Sharing the network with other subscribers can have negative impact on the transmission of medical data. For instance, if the network is congested, the chances of packet dropping, delay, and reductions in the bandwidth can increase [11]. Other concerns about the use of public mobile networks for health care applications are the security and authentication issues.…”

Home-based health monitoring systems are currently being used to support early detection of abnormal conditions and prevention of its serious consequences. Many patients can benefit from continuous ambulatory monitoring as a part of a diagnostic procedure, optimal maintenance of a chronic condition or during supervised recovery from an acute event or surgical procedure. An evolution of this approach is the use of the mobile infrastructure and wearable technology, which mainly provides more freedom to their users. While these approaches use mobile communication devices just as a router of health information, we argue that such devices can make use of reasoning mechanisms so that they can take decisions and provide a better health care support to their users. This paper discusses the specification of a deductive health monitoring system, where its components are represented by assistant agents running in mobile devices and using a low cost wireless communication protocol (SMS) to exchange knowledge with a central root. Requirements for communication protocol and agent reasoning, based on a production system, are shown in details together with some practical experiments.

“…Because of this low real-time responsiveness and lack of accuracy, system lacks behind to provide needed level of safety for visually impaired person. [7] Another system for visually impaired person gives a structure using IR sensor and magnetic compass on handheld device. This system determines location and orientation of the user though a voice enabled GPS inside a closed surrounding.…”

Mobility of visually impaired people is restricted by their incapability to recognize their surroundings. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2012, out of 7 billion global population there were over 285 million visually impaired people and 39 million were totally blind out of which 19 million are children ( below 15 years). This means that someone in our world goes blind in every five seconds and a child in every minute. Over 90 percent blind children obtain no schooling. Recent survey source India is now became the world's large number of blind people. The population of India has reached 120 Cr. of those 8.90 Cr. people are visually impaired. 90%of those cannot travel independently. In this paper, we present a survey of navigation system of visually impaired people highlighting various technologies with their practical usefulness, design and working challenges and requirements of blind people. The aim of this paper is to provide a better understanding to identify important research directions in this increasingly important social area for future research.

“…A further reason was that GPRS link Quality of Service (QoS) was not good, due to the high delay, high packet loss and the loss of connection [1], [2]. Despite that, GPRS technology has been very useful in establishing rugged mobile networks which have been found to be more reliable in providing mobile internet services, as it has been witnessed after the launch of the third generation mobile networks (3G) [3]. 3G networks have been considered as the forerunner of the first mobile wireless broadband networks offering users with 384kbps download capability and 64 kbps for upload capability.…”
