Abstract

Many hospitals are fragmented along departmental boundaries, leading to islands of information about patients. This makes data integration difficult, and therefore can increase hospital costs and reduce patient care. This paper presents an architecture to provide uniform and transparent access to computerized data and functions available in this kind of heterogeneous computer environment.

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.
