“…Because mobile technology may be costly, the concern of a digital divide has to be addressed. Although wireless technology penetration is high even among families of underrepresented minorities, 22,45 low-income families are more likely to have no or suboptimal cell phones. 43,44 The major issues that need to be addressed to enable a large-scale deployment of the proposed technology are infrastructural, particularly development of a registration process, creation of a trusted mobile authentication service, and provision of user support.…”

“…21 Cell phones are currently in use in several health care projects and are being used for data display and even basic authentication. [22][23][24][25] Cell phone technology represents a potentially viable way of solving the authentication problem at local, regional, and national levels. This report proposes a new model for authentication of users to health care information applications leveraging wireless mobile devices and critically examines its problems and promise.…”

As the public interest in consumer-driven electronic health care applications rises, so do concerns about the privacy and security of these applications. Achieving a balance between providing the necessary security while promoting user acceptance is a major obstacle in large-scale deployment of applications such as personal health records (PHRs). Robust and reliable forms of authentication are needed for PHRs, as the record will often contain sensitive and protected health information, including the patient's own annotations. Since the health care industry per se is unlikely to succeed at single-handedly developing and deploying a large scale, national authentication infrastructure, it makes sense to leverage existing hardware, software, and networks. This report proposes a new model for authentication of users to health care information applications, leveraging wireless mobile devices. Cell phones are widely distributed, have high user acceptance, and offer advanced security protocols. The authors propose harnessing this technology for the strong authentication of individuals by creating a registration authority and an authentication service, and examine the problems and promise of such a system.

“…The ISM band ranges between 2.400 GHz and 2.483 GHz. The penetration depth of a device working in the 2.4 GHz frequency range is about 1.5 cm which is nothing more than a superficial absorption (Sneiderman and Ackerman, 2004). BWT-enabled devices use a technique called frequency hopping to minimise eavesdropping and interference from other networks that use the ISM band.…”

Diagnosing fetal health using stethoscope is a clinically established practice. Its modern form is called fetal phonocardiography. This paper presents a Bluetooth TM based wireless data acquisition system for fetal phonocardiographic signals (fPCG). The system is based on wireless acoustic sensor hardware and intelligent software for recording and display of these signals. The system's hardware consists of an acoustic cone and a Bluetooth headset kit. The fPCG signals are detected with the help of system's hardware and fed to a personal computer (PC) through system's software. The system is tested by recording the fPCG signals from 33 subjects at different gestational periods. The performance of the developed system is compared with the existing ultrasound based Doppler shift technique. The results show that the overall accuracy of the system is 98%. Due to its promising results, the developed system can be efficiently used as a fetal heart rate monitoring system for long-term home care with a very high performance to cost ratio.

“…Nevertheless, when it comes to the impact of using cellular phones, people pay more attention to the hazards they bring, especially the health issues in relation to the electromagnetic waves of cellular phones. [1][2][3] Electromagnetic waves are everywhere in the modern society, and they can be divided into nonionizing radiation and ionizing radiation based on their frequencies. The former is able to provide enough energy and heighten the heat of the organization, while the latter is with higher energy that breaks the covalent bond to form ions and damages the organism system.…”

Modern technology has advanced swiftly, and thus, people have higher and higher demands for functional textiles. In order to have textiles with electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) and far infrared emissivity, in this research, we fabricated three types of bamboo charcoal/metal (BC/M) complex yarns with metal wires as the core yarn and bamboo charcoal textured yarn as the wrapped yarns, with a rotor twister machine. Two manufacture parameters for the complex yarns were rotor speed (8000 rpm) and wrapped number of the BC/M complex yarns (4 turns/cm). BC/M complex woven fabrics were made of cotton yarn (warp yarn) and BC/M complex yarns (weft yarns), using a loom machine. The surface resistivities of BC/M complex woven fabrics were first measured. Then, EMSE evaluation was performed to test BC/M complex woven fabrics with different lamination angles. The BC/M complex woven fabrics exhibited higher surface resistivity than other woven fabrics by 1.71 × 10 10 Ω/Sq; and the EMSE was 50-60 dB when the lamination number was 6 at incident frequencies between 1.83 and 3 GHz, which was satisfactory.
