Information models for data sharing.

Abstract

How to share/exchange data among different databases is still a critical issue. In the medical domain, there is an absolute need for national/international agreement on standard ontologies, terminologies and data models. A global solution is far from being achieved, but in the meantime there are a number of sub-optimal solutions that can be adopted. In this paper two of them, which have already provided, or are close to providing, practical implementations will be described.

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.
