Abstract

W3-EMRS is an architecture designed to access clinical data from remote heterogeneous electronic medical record system (EMRS) databases. We describe the technologies used in an experimental implementation of W3-EMRS that concurrently collects data from several sources and presents them in an integrated set of views. After describing some of the organizational constraints, the architectural decision, implementation methodology, and operation of the completed project are discussed.

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.
