Mobile Health Monitoring

One of the most promising applications of sensor networks is mobile health monitoring. The key concept of New Generation Networks (NGN) is IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). The possibility of using mobile devices as gateways between sensor networks and IMS has led to the development of integrated solutions such as the one proposed in this paper. Event-based SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE) architecture is considered as the best solution for IMS based mobile health monitoring. This paper also describes usage of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) protocol to communicate with the IMS core, whereas data are transmitted within the body of SIP messages. Thus there is no need for additional transport protocol. Presence Information Data Format (PIDF) is used as data format and data privacy is controlled by XML Configuration Access Protocol (XCAP), which also provides the ability to manage groups of patients.

Mobile Health Monitoring

Wearable devices which measure and transfer signals from the human body can provide useful biometric data for various biomedical applications. In this paper, we present an implementation of the advanced Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) with wireless communication technology for mobile health monitoring. The device consists of rigid silicon-based components on a flexible/stretchable substrate for applications in epidermal electronic devices to collect precise data from the human body. Using the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) System-on-a-chip (SoC), the device can be miniaturized and portable, and the collected data can be processed with low power consumption. The dimensions of the implemented system are approximately 40 mm × 40 mm × 100 mm. Also, the device can be attached closely to human skin, which results in minimized signal distortion due to body movements or skin deformations. In order to achieve device flexibility and stretch ability, the interconnection wires are designed as serpentine-shaped structures on a stretchable substrate. The previously reported “cut-and-paste” method is utilized to fabricate the device that produces complex, twisty interconnections with thin metal sheets. The implemented patch-type, wireless, 6-axis IMU is expected to have potential in various applications, such as health monitoring, dependency care, and daily lifelogging.
