Providing a cushion for wireless application development

Outline Introduction Materials and Methods Conclusion and Future work

1/25

Introduction Low-cost sensors and wireless systems

can now create a constantly vigilant and pervasive monitoring.

At home work, in conventional point-of-care environments.

Primary care physician offices, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation. 2/25

Introduction A large research community (e.g. ,the UC

LA Wireless Health lnstitute). Vendors of wireless and sensing hardware

systems, network service providers. Enterprise data management communities.

3/25

Introduction Wearable devices focusing on personal

health.

Early disease detection are now being prototyped.

4/25

Introduction Previously as telehealth.

Physicians located in different geographical locations for diagnosis and advice on treatment.

5/25

Introduction Signal monitoring, diagnosis, rehabilitation, tre

atment, generally referred to as wireless healthcare. Telehealth system.

Remote areas such as home, schools, nursing home, military camps.

Prove the quality of overall healthcare. 6/25

Introduction As reported by CNN, back pain affects 80%

of Americans at some time in their lives.

31% of all workers compensation dollars are for lower back pain, as reported Herman Miller Inc.

Materials and Methods Since the mobile device communicates to

the on-cushion circuitries via Bluetooth,any handsets (iPhone, Google G1, or PDA) with Bluetooth and Internet ( Wifi, 3G, or EDGE) access can be used in our system.

Materials and Methods To cope with the variety of the decision –

making parameters (the body weight, the body height, and posture behaviors) of individual users.

Collect training data.

Materials and Methods The communication between the Web

service server and client is through Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).

XML, HTTP. Web Services Description Language

(WSDL).

21/25

SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol

Materials and Methods Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with

ASP.NET framework.

Conclusion and future work

22/25

Conclusion and future work NIKE + iPod sportkit can be simply implemente

d by integrating the on-cushion circuitries into the insole of the shoes.

Power and reliability can be optimized through modifications of the data sampling rate communication frequency.
