“…Such a system also allows for real-time notification in the event of emergencies and providing first-responders with accurate and complete information about the patient's health. Continuous care systems are being designed to monitor a plethora of ailments such as cardiovascular diseases [40], neurological problems [63], collecting meta-physiological state information (sleep, awake, fatigue) [56], circadian activity monitoring [68], and extreme environment medical monitoring (e.g., [51].…”

Medical cyber-physical systems (MCPS) are lifecritical, context-aware, networked systems of medical devices. These systems are increasingly used in hospitals to provide highquality continuous care for patients. The need to design complex MCPS that are both safe and effective has presented numerous challenges, including achieving high assurance in system software, intoperability, context-aware intelligence, autonomy, security and privacy, and device certifiability. In this paper, we discuss these challenges in developing MCPS, some of our work in addressing them, and several open research issues.

“…In medical applications [7], WBANs are considered to be the key solution to prevent a variety of cardiovascular diseases [8][9], such as myocardial infarction, which are often related to intermittent rather than permanent anomalies s [10]. In addition, as the number of diabetic people worldwide is expected to reach 380 million by 2025, WBANs can also be adopted in diabetes monitoring [11][12].…”

Wireless Body Area Networks support the operation within multiple frequency bands. Thus, they can be integrated in several applications, one of which is on-body medical monitoring applications, as concerned in this paper. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present the impact of transmission power and both of Differential Binary Phase Shift Keying and Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying modulation schemes, on the performance of a WBAN model based on the IEEE 802.15.6 2.4 GHz narrow-band, dedicated to on-body medical applications. This involves identifying the modulation scheme(s) and transmission power level(s) to be adopted for these applications, that can be classified into three types depending on their data rate (low, medium and high data rate medical applications), in order to meet Packet Loss Rate and latency requirements. The numerical study has confirmed that the adoption of DBPSK modulation and low transmission powers provides good performance for low data rate monitoring applications. At medium data rates, a relatively increased transmit power was required. However, at high data rates, DQPSK modulation with a 0 dBm transmission power seemed to be the right choice to be made in terms of the mentioned performance indicators.

“…Alerts will be raised when the vital signs of patients fall outside the normal range. In another project, HeartToGo aimed at cardiovascular disease prevention and detection, and a system to measure ECG signal and activities based on Bluetooth bio-sensors and cellphone was developed (Jin et al 2009, Oresko et al 2010. Systems for other applications have also been considered (Venkatasubramanian et al 2005, Gyselinckx et al 2006, Jeong et al 2009, Chi and Cauwenberghs 2010; however, none of these projects aimed at studying fatigue in MS patients.…”

Fatigue is reported as the most common symptom by patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The physiological and functional parameters related to fatigue in MS patients are currently not well established. A new wearable wireless body measurement system, named Fatigue Monitoring System (FAMOS), was developed to study fatigue in MS. It can continuously measure electrocardiogram, body-skin temperature, electromyogram and motions of feet. The goal of this study is to test the ability of distinguishing fatigued MS patients from healthy subjects by the use of FAMOS. This paper presents the realization of the measurement system including the design of both hardware and dedicated signal processing algorithms. Twenty-six participants including 17 MS patients with fatigue and 9 sex-and age-matched healthy controls were included in the study for continuous 24 h monitoring. The preliminary results show significant differences between fatigued MS patients and healthy controls. In conclusion, the FAMOS enables continuous data acquisition and estimation of multiple physiological and functional parameters. It provides a new, flexible and objective approach to study fatigue in MS, which can distinguish between fatigued MS patients and healthy controls. The usability and reliability of the FAMOS should however be further improved and validated through larger clinical trials.
