View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

ActiveX and Java capitalize on distributed object computing and have great potential for making information systems truly interoperable. But a battle for market dominance between their developers--Microsoft Corp. and Sun Microsystems Inc., respectively--could cause confusion. And it's unclear what role these two important new technologies will play in health care. For now, a number of pioneering organizations are experimenting with using the technology to improve data flow and access.

Wireless connectivity for health and sports monitoring: a review.

This is a review of health and sports monitoring research that uses or could benefit from wireless connectivity. New, enabling wireless connectivity standards are evaluated for their suitability, and an assessment of current exploitation of these technologies is summarised. An example of the application is given, highlighting the capabilities of a network of wireless sensors. Issues of timing and power consumption in a battery-powered system are addressed to highlight the benefits networking can provide, and a suggestion of how monitoring different biometric signals might allow one to gain additional information about an athlete or patient is made.
