An IoT based system for remote patient monitoring

Abstract:
Following a surgical procedure, patients are monitored in an ICU until physically stable, after which are discharged to a ward for further evaluation and recovery. Usually, ward evaluation does not imply continuous physiological parameters monitoring and therefore patient relapse is not uncommon. The present paper describes the steps taken to design and build a low-cost modular monitoring system prototype. This system aims to offer mobile support in order to facilitate faster and better medical interventions in emergency cases and has been developed using low-power dedicated sensor arrays for EKG, SpO2, temperature and movement. The interfaces for these sensors have been developed according to the IoT model: a central control unit exposes a RESTful based Web interface that ensures a platform agnostic behaviour and provides a flexible mechanism to integrate new components.

Integration of Smart Phone and IOT for development of smart public transportation system

Abstract:
As population is burgeoning, there is an increase in the number of vehicles on the road and hence an upsurge in the problems associated with traffic management, especially the Public Transport. There is also an increase in the number of accidents and various other traffic related issues. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) provides the solution to most of these problems by integrating existing technologies with the underlying infrastructure. With the advent of mobile technology and the ubiquitous cellular network, real time vehicle tracking for efficient transport management has become viable. The futile long wait for a bus to arrive can be avoided by Intelligent Public Transportation System. The omnipresence of Smart Phones and their ever increasing power at a very economical price makes them one of the most attractive options for developing IOT applications. Here, an approach based on the combination of technologies like GPS and Android is discussed which can assuage passengers who commute by the means of public transport. The user is furnished with explicit information about the current location of nearest buses approaching the bus-stop on a mobile application. Using readily available Android API's, technologies like 3G network and SMS based services in the existing mobile phones can reduce the cost and size of hardware required, as well as lead to a better output.

Priority based and secured traffic management system for emergency vehicle using IoT

Abstract:
Intelligent Traffic System (ITS) is one of the most recent research topics in the Internet of Things (IoT). The ever increasing number of vehicles in modern cities is creating heavy traffic congestion. To reduce the traffic congestion, a number of research have already been done to provide a clear pathway to the emergency vehicles in the urban area. However, they often fail to meet the target travel time of an emergency vehicle set by the Department of Treasury and Finances Budget and Financial Management Guidance (BFMG). To address this issue directly, an innovative ITS system considering the priorities of emergency vehicles based on the type of an incident and a method for detecting and responding to the hacking of traffic signals have been proposed in this paper. An experiment using a simulation software, namely Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) was conducted. The simulation results have exhibited superior performance of our proposed system over the currently operational and recently proposed ITS for emergency vehicles, in terms of both congestion avoidance and travel time. The response time attained by our scheme meets the target set by BFMG for both normal and hacked traffic signals.

Earthquake early warning system by IOT using Wireless sensor networks

Abstract:
The Wireless sensor network (WSN) is spatially distributed sensors in an autonomous manner to monitor physical environmental conditions. The Internet of things (IOT) is the network of computed physical objects which enables these things to connect, collect and exchange data. In this paper, we propose an earthquake early warning system by means of an IOT in WSN. The sensors are placed in the surface of the earth. When an earthquake occurs, both compression P wave and transverse S wave radiates outward the epicenter of the earth. The P wave, which travels fastest, trips the sensors, placed in the landscape. It causes early alert signals to be transfer ahead, giving humans and automated electronic system a warning to take precautionary actions. So that before the damage begins with the arrival of the slower but stronger S waves, the public are warned earlier. The signal from each sensor which senses the P wave and which has Zigbee transmitter transfers the alert signal to the gateway. The gateway which has the Zigbee receiver and acts as an IOT transfers the warning to smart phones. Thus early alert message is received by the people in terms of location, time and other parameters. Eventually, many of the human lives can be saved. The software used here is LABVIEW where the three angle axis of the sensor can be sensed and detected when the sensors are interfaced with this software.

Non-invasive fetus heart rate and growth measurement with abnormality detection using IoT

Abstract:
Infant mortality is an important area of study in both medical research and engineering perspective. For mitigating the miserable conditions of infant mortality, we are proposing a methodology that could help the pregnant women to check her vital medical status and for her fetus on her own without having much effort. To do so we believe that with help of advances in networking and computing, and android mobile application which is built as a support, we would be able to match the detected heart rate of user with database which we create from readings obtained from the maternity centers. The database would include the normal and abnormal fetus heart rate in maternal period ranging from 5th week to last week of pregnancy. A pattern matching is performed with the data between user and database, if a match is detected then suitable message is generated. If any pattern other than normal pattern is received, an alert is generated along with the sending of obtained packets to the doctor for further diagnosis. To compute the abnormality of fetus heart rate during maternal period in user's handheld devices like Smartphone there is no need for separate infrastructure for monitoring mother and fetus. We use a Bluetooth module in order to transfer the vital parameters like pulse rate, fetal heart rate and blood pressure to the user's handheld devices. Thus, detection of abnormality in early stage will make sure that healthcare is reached in time and the newborn would not be affected. This user friendly arrangement drastically reduces the stress for the mother as a portable health check up is available to her.

Smart security solution for women based on Internet Of Things(IOT)

Abstract:
Today in the current global scenario, the prime question in every girl's mind, considering the ever rising increase of issues on women harassment in recent past is mostly about her safety and security. The only thought haunting every girl is when they will be able to move freely on the streets even in odd hours without worrying about their security. This paper suggests a new perspective to use technology for women safety. “848 Indian Women Are Harassed, Raped, Killed Every Day!!” That's a way beyond HUGE number! We propose an idea which changes the way everyone thinks about women safety. A day when media broadcasts more of women's achievements rather than harassment, it's a feat achieved! Since we (humans) can't respond aptly in critical situations, the need for a device which automatically senses and rescues the victim is the venture of our idea in this paper. We propose to have a device which is the integration of multiple devices, hardware comprises of a wearable “Smart band” which continuously communicates with Smart phone that has access to the internet. The application is programmed and loaded with all the required data which includes Human behavior and reactions to different situations like anger, fear and anxiety. This generates a signal which is transmitted to the smart phone. The software or application has access to GPS and Messaging services which is pre-programmed in such a way that whenever it receives emergency signal, it can send help request along with the location co-ordinates to the nearest Police station, relatives and the people in the near radius who have application. This action enables help instantaneously from the Police as well as Public in the near radius who can reach the victim with great accuracy.

IOT-BEAT: An intelligent nurse for the cardiac patient

Abstract:
Cardio-vascular diseases (CVD) are rapidly increasing in the urban lifestyle. CVDs rank #1 in the world when it comes to diseases causing deaths. More people die annually from CVDs than from any other cause. Around 17 million people died from CVDs in the year 2012, representing 31% of all global deaths. In India alone there are around 64 million cardiac patients and only 4000 cardiologists available. Arrhythmia is the most frequent occurring CVD. Patients having Arrhythmia require continuous monitoring so that the doctor can study the abnormality in their heart beats to gain further insights and suggest treatments. In some cases Arrhythmia can be fatal and might need immediate hospitalization. For this purpose, we have developed a system that remotely acquires ECG sensor readings (taken from MIT-BIH database) of the patient, processes it to predict arrhythmia intelligently and sends the indication alarm immediately to the doctor, when an Arrhythmia episode is detected. Also a report of the patient's heart behavior is generated and fetched to the doctor on his smart phone. Our system aims at spreading cardiac care to urban as well as rural places by enabling the remote monitoring the ECG signals of the afflicted cardiac patients and alerting the doctor in case of emergencies

Design and Implementation of Meal Information Collection System Using IoT Wireless Tags

Abstract:
In recent years, people with lifestyle-related diseases are increasing, because of lack of exercise, overeating, stress and smoking. With this situation, applications of Personal Computer (PC) or smart phone which support healthy life are widespread. Turning to the system dealing with meal information, there are two type systems. One is that meal records are inputted by hand and managed as meal logs. Another one is that a meal image is shot by a smart phone, and meal contents are recorded by image recognition. However, these systems need a lot of time for inputting of meal contents or shooting of meal images. Therefore, it is difficult to continue use. Moreover, the second system has a problem for accuracy of image recognition. In this paper, to solve these problems, we propose a meal information collection system which uses IoT wireless tags. An IoT wireless tag is corresponded to a meal and the system can automatically get meal information such as meal contents, meal sequence, meal time and so on. We implemented the meal information collection system which aims automatic collection and getting of various information which do not get at other systems. From the evaluation results of collection accuracy and comparison with conventional systems, we verified effectiveness of the proposed system.

IoT-based fall detection system with energy efficient sensor nodes

Abstract:
Fall needs to be attentively considered due to its highly frequent occurrence especially with old people — up to one third of 65 and above year-old people around the world are risk of being injured due to falling. Furthermore, fall is a direct or indirect factor causing severe traumas such as brain injuries or bone fractures. However, timely medical attention might help to avoid serious consequences from a fall. A viable solution to solve this is an IoT-based system which takes advantage of wireless sensor networks, wearable devices, Fog and Cloud computing. To deliver sufficient degree of reliability, wearable devices working at the core of a fall detection system, are required to work for prolonged period of time. In this paper we investigate energy consumption of sensor nodes in an IoT-based fall detection system and present a design of a customized sensor node. In addition, we compare the customized sensor node with other sensor nodes, built on general purpose development boards. The results show that sensor nodes based on delicate customized devices are more energy efficient than the others based on general purpose devices while considering identical specification of micro-controller and memory capacity. Furthermore, our customized sensor node with energy efficiency selections can operate continuously up to 35 hours.

Abstract:
In today society there has been an increase in the number of elderly people that can fend for themselves. However, there are certain risks related to age such as falls, blood pressure or heart problems among others, that can result in serious consequences to the person. The objective of this study is the development of a system oriented IoT, which can be acquired by the low income population, allowing any member of the family to do a remote following up. One of the most serious problems is the falls. For this reason we started developing a module that can detect falls by using accelerometers and gyroscopes in this first stage, as a part of the daily elderly control integral system using the “Intel Galileo Gen I” development board. Selection criteria of the sensors used for this purpose together with corrections reading and data processing are described, because working with a sensor MPU6050 with Intel Galileo Gen I differs respect to other platforms. An analysis on different fall detection algorithms is done; false positives are discarded applying notifications alarms thus acquiring trustworthy data for their processing.

Abstract:
The last few years, significant advances which improve healthcare have been done in Internet of Things, in cloud computing, in video coding, and in mobile devices. This paper provides an overview of these advances. Also, we propose an IoT-based surveillance system for ubiquitous healthcare monitoring. The system consists of sensors, actuators, and cameras.

Moreover, the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is used for the data compression and transferring, and the Scalable High-Efficiency Video Coding (SHVC) is used for the video compression and transferring. The SHVC can deliver the same video quality in half of the bit rate than the High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). Furthermore, cloud services are provided, such as storage and real-time monitoring. Finally, we made a comparative analysis between our proposed system architecture and two other approaches. From this analysis, we can say that our system architecture has some benefits instead of other similar architectures. Also, we made an analysis of the bandwidth and the network throughput. The results are significant since the bandwidth required for the transmission of data and video is reduced.

An IoT approach to vehicle accident detection, reporting, and navigation

Abstract:
One particular concern that Public Safety Organizations (PSO) must account for whilst engaging in many activities is decreasing the effect of vehicle accidents, aiding as many injured people as possible and providing 24/7 on the spot rescue. The Red Cross humanitarian organization is one of the most known PSOs to be present on-site whenever an accident or a disaster takes place. However, some of the rescue teams face difficulty in reaching the injured people to due late alerts and insufficient information of the specific accident location. The advent of the mobile phone and Internet of Things (IoT) industries reshaped the way people communicate and brought a paradigm shift to public and private services [1]. This ever-evolving technology marked the beginning of new era affecting the lives of people and various businesses. This paper conveys a smart and reliable IoT system solution which instantly notifies the PSO headquarter whenever an accident takes place and pinpoints its geographic coordinates on the map. When an accident takes place, a shock sensor detects it. Then, an algorithm is applied to process the sensor signal and send the geographic location along with some ancillary information to the PSO headquarter, indicating accident occurrence. This is a promising system expected to aid in the tedious rescuing process by reporting in a matter of seconds the location of an accident, the passengers injured, blood types, thus lowering death's rates. The geographical data collected from this system could be relied upon as admissible evidence or indicator of the road state and conditions

Remote management of intelligent devices: Using TR-069 protocol in IoT

Abstract:
The aggressive expansion of emerging smart devices connected to the Internet infrastructure is nowadays considered as one of the most challenging components of the Internet of Things (IoT) vision. As a particular segment of IoT, the smart home gateways, also named Machine-Type Communication Gateway (MTCG), become an important direction for industry including telecommunication operators. In most cases, the MTCG acts as a bridge between connected smart objects and the public network (Internet). As a consequence of the IoT domain expansion, the separate configuration of each individual Machine-to-Machine (M2M) device is not feasible anymore due to steadily growing numbers of M2M nodes. To perform this task, several novel technologies have recently been introduced. However, legacy protocols and mechanisms for remote network management still retain a certain application potential for IoT. Accordingly, we have investigated the well-known protocol TR-069 with a particular focus on its usability for MTCG. To this end, the software module (bundle) based on the TR-069 for remote configuration and management of MTCG, as well as for controlling the end smart devices, has been developed. We believe that our implementation (available as open source on GitHub) can serve as an important building block for efficient management of future IoT devices. Therefore, TR-069 protocol constitutes a proven and standardized technology and could be easily deployed by most of the network and service providers today.

An efficient data collection and dissemination for IOT based WSN

Abstract:
Data collection issues play a significant role in the area of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Internet of Things (IOT). Energy efficiency is affected by the number of data transmissions from the node to the Sink / base station (BS). Control of the update data is one of the feasible ways to reduce the messages sent by the nodes. In transmitting data strategies most of the WSN real-time data applications update the data directly, and some current study made a logical or absolute check to measure the change between the current and last sensor measuring value before updating the data. In this paper, we proposed a method to reduce the number of data transmissions as well as decrease the amount of data that will result in prolonging the lifetime of the network. The proposed method aims to reduce the number of transmitted messages via a node supporting single and multiple sensors based on the relative change or relative differences between the current and last sensor measured values transmitted. The results show the proposed method appears to deliver the best performance in terms of reducing the number of messages transitions and packets size, in this study the mean percentage of reducing the number of messages transmissions is 74%, and 80% is the mean percentage reduce of node packet size. From the results, it's clear that reduce the number of packet's transitions and reduce the node packet size, will result in a decrease the energy consumption as well as prolonging the lifetime of the system.

Energy-efficient Data Centers and smart temperature control system with IoT sensing

Abstract:
The population is increasing every day and hence leading to increasing demand of energy consumption. Data center being one of the crucial aspect of IT organisational operations consumes several tens of MW of power. Some facilities consumes power which is 100 times more than a typical office building. One main concern is business continuity and if any single rack of the data center fails then that might result in impairment in company operations which may also stop completely. In this growing demand of energy consumption and huge requirement of power by a data center, we provide a balanced method to run these data centers smoothly without any interruption. In this paper we propose an energy efficient method to meet the power requirement for these gigantic power consuming data centers as well as techniques of efficient air conditioning system to reduce power consumption. The Data Center air conditioning system include environment monitoring, air conditioning, ventilation and temperature control. The algorithm to monitor and control temperature changes is provided and its implementation is also discussed below. Here we have discussed how the power consumption can be significantly reduced without compromising with the cooling performance of these data centers.

Enabling IoT for In-Home Rehabilitation: Accelerometer Signals Classification Methods for Activity

Abstract:
Rehabilitation and elderly monitoring for active ageing can benefit from Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities in particular for in-home treatments. In this paper we consider two functions useful for such treatments: Activity Recognition (AR) and Movement Recognition (MR). The former is aimed at detecting if a patient is idle, still, walking, running, going up/down the stairs or cycling; the latter individuates specific movements often required for physical rehabilitation such as arm circles, arm presses, arm twist, curls, seaweed and shoulder rolls. Smartphones are the reference platforms being equipped with an accelerometer sensor and elements of the IoT. The work surveys and compares accelerometer signals classification methods to enable IoT for the aforementioned functions. The considered methods are Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Decision Trees (DTs) and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW). A comparison of the methods has been proposed to highlight their performance: all the techniques have good recognition accuracies and, among them, the SVM-based approaches show an accuracy above 90% in the case of AR and above 99% in the case of MR.

Alarm notification to tower monitoring system in oneM2M based IoT networks

Abstract:
Internet of Things (IoT) is a new paradigm of connected devices. IoT architecture ensures that devices are connected to each other and able to communicate as and when required. Centre for the Development of Telematics (C-DoT) developed Tower Monitoring Solution (TMS) [1] which monitors status of different sources of power in Telecom Towers. Standard oneM2M is one of the standards of IoT that defines the architecture of connected devices. TMS is now being updated according to oneM2M standard since C-DoT is part of Telecommunications Standards Development Society, India (TSDSI) which is involved in development of oneM2M standard. Under this new architecture, bidirectional connection is required to send data and alarm notification from centralized server/gateway to TMS devices. However, in GSM-GPRS SIM based devices, IP address of the device changes every time they are connected to the network, so the server is not aware of the current device IP address and cannot send data to the device. Also, in our oneM2M network, devices of different capabilities are connected, so a single approach does not work for all the devices. In this paper we have discussed about different methods which can be used by GSM-GPRS devices & devices of different capabilities to establish two way communication with centralized server. In this paper we have proposed an algorithm based solution for this challenge. This is innovative algorithmic solution that enables low cost devices to be operated centrally eliminating the need to replace those devices with high end device

Design of IoT-based energy efficiency management system for building ceramics production line

Abstract:
This paper analyses the current situation of Chinese building ceramics production lines. For most of the current production lines, the overall equipment efficiency is low, resulting in low production and inefficient usage of energy. Moreover, the traditional manual meter reading in most of the production lines is consuming and it is hard to judge whether the data stored in the database is accurate or not. On the other hand, this paper analyses the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and proposes an Energy Efficiency Management System (EEMS) for building ceramics production line based on IoT. The required relevant technologies including cloud computing, MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT), Tornado and RESTful API, are introduced. At the end of the paper, the design of EEMS is presented. Built on the cloud computing centre, the EEMS, with Role-based Access Control (RBAC) and the database interface RESTful API, collects equipment data using MQTT protocol, implements the Tornado web server framework to provide web services and uses web front-end technologies including HTML, CSS and JAVASCRIPT to build web applications. The implement of proposed system can effectively improve the energy efficiency of production lines and the competitiveness of building ceramics enterprises.

According to EPA, indoor air even in centrally air-conditioned buildings is several times more polluted than outdoor air, primarily due to change in occupancy pattern, poor, old or ill maintained ventilation systems, dust, and presence of volatile organic compounds. Hence, it is necessary for humans to pervasively and ubiquitously measure air quality information in real time, specially whose health is sensitive to poor indoor air. In this work, we propose a novel context aware Android smart phone based mobile adhoc sensing system that senses various data from indoor environment around the user and analyses it in real time, thereby helping to maintain good health and better work productivity.

This system consists of a smart control module, a client system and a server system. Based on a power meter SoC, the smart control module can measure and record the power statuses of generators and conduct their ON/OFF remote control. The client system located in customer is an embedded system with the functions of user interface, power data gathering through the smart control module, and internet communication. The statuses of all generators in customers are monitored and recorded into both the client system (customer) and the server system (manufacturer), simultaneously by which the maintenance engineers can implement proactive product maintenances and provide more efficient services. In addition, this system can be applied for the maintenances of other electrical machines

IOT: Intelligent Bio-tank system for smart home

Abstract:
Recently, we can hear from the TV news or read the newspapers in Taiwan that outdoor air pollution is worsen dramatically, and our government warns us that we need to wear masks when going out. Indoor air quality is even worse than that of outdoor environments according to some research report. Worse indoor air quality will affect our health conditions; hence, how to improve the indoor air quality is becoming essential nowadays. In our research, we aim to propose an intelligent Bio-tank, which is an indoor home air quality monitoring and controlling system that is considered as a natural indoor air purifier. That is this system aims at improving the indoor air quality based on its goal.

IoT based smart healthcare kit

Abstract:
The paper presents the design and implementation of an IOT-based health monitoring system for emergency medical services which can demonstrate collection, integration, and interoperation of IoT data flexibly which can provide support to emergency medical services like Intensive Care Units (ICU), using a INTEL GALILEO 2ND generation development board. The proposed model enables users to improve health related risks and reduce healthcare costs by collecting, recording, analyzing and sharing large data streams in real time and efficiently. The idea of this project came so to reduce the headache of patient to visit to doctor every time he need to check his blood pressure, heart beat rate, temperature etc. With the help of this proposal the time of both patients and doctors are saved and doctors can also help in emergency scenario as much as possible. The proposed outcome of the project is to give proper and efficient medical services to patients by connecting and collecting data information through health status monitors which would include patient's heart rate, blood pressure and ECG and sends an emergency alert to patient's doctor with his current status and full medical information.

ECG signal analysis and arrhythmia detection on IoT wearable medical devices

Abstract:
Healthcare is one of the most rapidly expanding application areas of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. IoT devices can be used to enable remote health monitoring of patients with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In this paper we develop an algorithm for ECG analysis and classification for heartbeat diagnosis, and implement it on an IoT-based embedded platform. This algorithm is our proposal for a wearable ECG diagnosis device, suitable for 24-hour continuous monitoring of the patient. We use Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for the ECG analysis, and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The best classification accuracy achieved is 98.9%, for a feature vector of size 18, and 2493 support vectors. Different implementations of the algorithm on the Galileo board, help demonstrate that the computational cost is such, that the ECG analysis and classification can be performed in real-time.

Monitoring of the medication distribution and the refrigeration temperature in a pharmacy

Abstract:
For the past 15 years since its appearance, Internet of Things (IoT) technology has been leading the planet towards a smart world where all devices and physical objects, referred to as "things", will be connected via electronic sensors through the Internet. The distribution of medication to patients at a pharmacy in certain regions is still very traditional and outdated. Patients wait for a long time in queues to receive their medications, this is mostly due to the absence of an efficient distribution system. Also, the refrigeration temperature within several pharmacies is a huge problem, as medications must be kept at a constant temperature for an optimal results. In this paper we propose a simple and reliable approach to monitor a pharmacy store, the method is based on electronic sensors connected to an Intel Galileo board, to perform a medication search and also to control the refrigeration temperature within pharmacy shelves. The implementation cost of such systems is considerably cheaper than a software based system; this makes such systems appropriate for underprivileged areas. This system was designed and built for a pharmacy but it can be generalized for other purposes.

An energy efficient sensor for thyroid monitoring through the IoT

Abstract:
This paper presents a thyroid monitoring sensor for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The proposed architecture is energy efficient and user friendly. Thyroid monitoring can be done either by monitoring the basal body temperature or through blood samples. In this work basal body temperature is the quantity sensed for thyroid monitoring. The temperature acquisition is performed by a ring oscillator along with a counter and a controller. The designed module implements the temperature acquisition module along with the calibration method to dynamically optimize the sensor design. A prototype of the temperature sensor along with the controller which performs the calibration is designed using Simulink®.
