This paper addresses the functionality of care devices and telecare applications in terms of agent interactions. It focuses on the kind of interactions involved between the agents, and how can agents determine or find other agents (or their functionality) in a service-oriented telecare environment. It explores the service-oriented architecture (SOA) together with the agent paradigm as a mechanism to deal with the handling, the negotiation and brokerage of telecare resources.

Implementation of a mobile phone-based monitor for women's healthcare is described in this paper. The implementation was realized in the BREW programming language, and used a KDDI mobile phone and a tiny wearable body temperature sensor. The temperature inside clothing during sleep is measured continuously and automatically by a wearable temperature sensor device. The temperature data are accumulated and transmitted a specific database server via mobile phone. The BREW application acquires the data and supplies health care information, such as a one-night temperature profile animation review for sleep quality evaluation. Menstrual cycle stage estimation and a diary for personal health management were developed and implemented. These implementations enhanced the usability and functionality of the women's healthcare monitor and provided many advantages to the management system.

The number of people who have mental health problems, such as depressive disorders, is increasing, but many patients do not take suitable medical treatment due to a lack of clear subjective symptoms. Mental disorders may manifest themselves in term of measurable physiological signals. Using a wearable sensor, we measured heat flux, skin temperature and GSR in healthy people and patients with depressive disorders for more than 50 days, and confirmed that an index to represent mental health condition can be established on differences in some of these sensory data.

This study focuses on the solutions to prevent fatal risk to patient's life caused by transfusing blood which is wrong type or has exceeded norm temperature, to protect wrong blood transfusion by a person. We developed and demonstrated the clinical usability of the combined blood temperature management and tracking system using the radio frequency identification (RFID) and the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) Technology. This blood monitoring and management system is continuously report the temperature of the blood-bank's refrigerator, track the location of a blood bag, and can confirm that the assigned blood bag was transported to the intended patient in need of transfusion.

The purpose of this study was to estimate UPDRS finger tapping score with Parkinson's disease patients by using an artificial neural network. The measurement system was composed of a pair of 3-axis accelerometers, a pair of touch sensors, an analog to digital converter and a personal computer. Firstly, the accelerations during the finger tapping were measured with 44 normal subjects and 17 Parkinson's diseases subjects by using this system. Secondly, the four features were extracted from the obtained accelerations. Finally, the UPDRS finger tapping score was estimated by using a three-layer artificial neural network model.

This paper is aimed at the development of a high-precision, noninvasive, continuous blood pressure monitor using pulse arrival time (PAT). A continuous putative function of systolic blood pressure was realized using Electrocardiogram (ECG) and the pulse signals for calculating the pulse wave are obtained from electrodes that are attached to both hands and a photoplethysmographic sensor attached to the tip of the finger and the hand. First, noise such as drift, electromyogram, and hum noise is reduced using a notch filter and a bandpass filter. Next, the QRS wave peak of the ECG is detected. In parallel with QRS wave peak detection, the leading edge of the pulse is detected. The interval between these two points is computed as the PAT. Then, the signal most correlated to change in blood pressure is selected. In this way, systolic blood pressure is computed continuously and precisely.

The aim of this paper is to find a relation between HRV parameters of ECG and stressful driving situation in the real road through various tests. First, we gave a stress to the subject by increasing the driving speed using driving simulator in the laboratory. Second, the subject drove the vehicle on the real road. Through let him drove in the busy narrow street, we evoked stress. ECG and PPG signal was recorded from steering wheel and back cushion each unconsciously. The driving experiment with simulator was not suitable to reproduce actual traffic condition because the adaptation was occurred. On the other hand, in real driving test, the results show that the heart rate is increase, and SDNN, RMSSD, pNN50 were decreased. The heart rate is the strongest indicator and other parameters tend to be changed depend on a personal. The blood pressure had no significant changes. Our results show the good possibility of that the time parameters of the HRV could be used as an instantaneous stress indicator.

As the increase of intraoral acidity by ingesting sweet foods and acidic beverages usually results in dental caries and erosion, the measurement of intraoral pH is the basic part in the study of oral environment regarding dental caries and erosion. The purpose of the study was to develop an indwelling intraoral pH telemetry lasting longer than 24 hours in the mouth to overcome the limits of conventional wire electrode method previously used for salivary and plaque pH measurement, and to assess its effectiveness.

The purpose of this paper is to characterize the morphological information of craniofacial structure. Firstly, the morphological feature parameters of cephalometric tracings are extracted using image processing techniques. Then, based on these parameters, the morphology of craniofacial structure is classified using K-means method. Afterwards, four morphology related landmarks such as Go, Po, N, and Me for each class are analyze. In this study, fifty tracings are investigated for morphological analysis. From experimental results, the craniofacial structures are classified into six clusters. Each cluster has four images, eight images, ten image, seven image, thirteen images, and eight images, respectively. The range of spatial distributions for the landmark Go, Po, S, N, and Me are all within 4 mm.

In this paper, we propose full-fledged minimal invasive surgery simulator under laparoscopic environment. In addition, a novel hybrid cutting technique for volumetric tetrahedral meshed soft tissue models is presented. A progressive cutting method is applied to the model's surface elements, where the core of the model is cut non-progressively. Our work combines the advantages of both subdivision methods into one technique. It leads to an increase in the stability of the soft tissue deformation simulation and enhances interactivity, by reducing the cutting complexity. A laparoscopic resection of the kidney tumor surgery is used for case study.
