Early detection of onset and outbreak of infectious diseases has paramount importance in containing such diseases before they turn into epidemics. The incredible growth in popularity and spatial resolution of coverage have made micro-blogging sites like Twitter a promising source of information for assessing the evolution of intensity of such diseases within a locality. However, identifying tweets with self-reported illness from other `disease related' tweets is important for avoiding false alarms. In this research, our endeavor is to segregate the tweets all of which fall under the general category of `disease related'. By using relatively very small training set and modifying the conventional n-gram feature selection method, we could isolate tweets reporting individual's illness with around 88.7% precision.

We calculate the number of channels necessary for satellite communications to support the early-stage telemedicine after major disasters. Medical data acquired from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (Kobe Earthquake) is used for the calculations of Erlang B formula The minimum 29 channel shall be necessary to cover nationwide after major disaster. In case of big tsunami such as East Japan earthquake, we shall consider a smaller EIRP equipment on the ground, with charging by the solar cells. So the big G/T antenna of the spacecraft shall be required and designed to support disaster communication after a big tsunami attack.

This paper presents a representative use case of mHealth. The use case, called patient monitoring, is described from a Mobile Network Operator (MNO) point of view and should be seen as complimentary to other use cases that already exist from other parts of the industry. Then three communication scenarios are abstracted form the use case in order to clarify MNO's concerns and new requirements. The MNO's assets that mHealth take advantages from are evaluated next. And new requirements and trends of mHealth are presented before the conclusion of this paper.

Heart disease has the second high mortality rate behind cancer in Japan, and requires quick treatment. To take a part in emerging mHealth, we developed a wearable heart disease monitoring and alerting system “Dentan”. Dentan continuously monitors patient's ECG in his/her daily activities and issues an alert to the patient as well as surrounding people if it detects abnormal heart behavior. Dentan consists of a wireless ECG sensor and a smartphone to achieve light-weighted, low-cost system that does not degrade the patient's Quality of Life. In parallel, we developed ECG analysis algorithm to detect R-wave as well as arrhythmia and performed demonstration experiments to validate its effectiveness. We implemented these algorithms in wireless ECG sensor rather than in smartphone to save power consumption of ECG sensor caused by radio communication.

Wireless technologies are well known to provide tremendous benefits to the healthcare sector. In the evaluation of the wireless technologies, ZigBee is found specifically suitable for monitoring due to its low cost, long battery life and widely accepted standard. But ZigBee uses the same ISM free band with other wireless techniques, such as Wi-Fi, which is also widely deployed in health care. The coexistence of these techniques in the crowded ISM band will cause mutual interference, which in medical environment has death indication. This paper aims at providing a comprehensive evaluation of the interference between Wi-Fi and ZigBee technologies. Constructing on earlier work led by researchers in Schneider Electric [2], real-time tests were performed in research laboratory and residential environment and results were analyzed to provide a reference for the deployment of multiple wireless technologies to avoid mutual interference.

Sensor Networks are considered the heart of a wide range of applications. e-Health is one of those applications. This paper proposes a new network and Context Awareness service architecture for e-Health services. The proposal integrates the Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) with the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)-based Next Generation Network (NGN). It provides a detailed signaling model for different healthcare scenarios based on SIP. The proposal involves modifications made to SIP to match the new e-Health features provided.

This work describes a motion-sensing enabled personalized exercise system for cardiac rehabilitation called CAROLS, capable of assisting healthcarers to find evidence-based effective exercise program for individual, and then motivating cardiac outpatients to improve their health recovery throughout a series of effective personalized rehabilitation exercises. In addition to making home-based cardiac rehabilitation exercise more effective and efficient, the CAROLS system can provide an interactive and user-friendly virtual gaming-environment for rehabilitation exercise in terms of monitoring real-time vital signs, increasing outpatient compliance for doctor prescription, as well as evaluating exercise efficiency and patient safety via a fusion function between a motion sensing technology and a wearable sensor device. The experimental system is in service trials with preliminary verification results including heart rate variability (HRV) analyses and motion similarity analysis of the 3-minute step test for normal users. Therefore, in addition to monitoring the exercise intensity and posture accuracy of outpatients, the CAROLS system provides clinical experts with a valuable reference for adjusting the exercise prescription in future scheduled return.

The aim of Taipei Smart Medical Package is to develop a mobile, low cost and stable telehealth model. The Taipei Smart Medical Package boasted several advantages. First, it supported Linux on SoC (System on a Chip) platform from Intel running on X86 architecture, which ensured stability and saved investment on hardware and software R & D. AA battery combining industrial fanless design reduced maintenance cost. Second, the mobile terminal equipment allowed convenient installation and budget transportation. Third, cloud hosting was an economic, maintenance-saving and effective solution. The program adopted innovative case management by attaching health risk assessment report to out-of-pocket health checkup clients, as a way to enlarge client base and extend service period. In order to understand people's opinions on the Taipei Smart Medical Package, this study carried out an acceptability questionnaire survey. Those willing to pay for Taipei Smart Medical Package accounted for 20.6 % of the health center clients at the hospital, 27.9 % of the local clinic patients and 51.5% of the electronics shoppers (p<;0.001). Among those willing to pay 84.6% had private insurance; 77.9% had regular health examination (p<;0.001). More than half (55.8%) of the middle class (monthly income at USD967~2,900) were willing to pay for the package. It clearly indicated that a demand existed not only in the higher income population. Our research discovered the advantage of combining insurance and health screening. Collaboration among healthcare facilities, health examination centers and insurance companies is expected to consolidate the market while integration of health screening, ICT and consumer products generates multiple sources of income.
台北智慧医疗套餐的目标是发展一种移动、低成本和稳定的远程医疗模式。台北智慧医疗套餐有几个优势。首先，它支持运行在X86架构上的Intel SoC (System on a Chip)平台上的Linux，保证了稳定性，节省了软硬件研发投入。AA电池结合工业无风扇设计，降低了维护成本。第二，移动终端设备安装方便，运输预算适中。第三，云托管是一种经济、节省维护和有效的解决方案。项目采用创新的个案管理方式，为自费体检的客户附加健康风险评估报告，扩大客户群，延长服务期限。为了解民众对台北智慧医疗套餐的意见，本研究进行接受度问卷调查。愿意购买台北智慧医疗套餐的比例分别为20.6%、27.9%及51.5% (p< 0.001)。在愿意支付的人中，84.6%的人有私人保险;77.9%定期体检(p< 0.001)。超过一半(55.8%)的中产阶级(月收入在967~ 2900美元之间)愿意支付这个套餐。它清楚地表明，这种需求不仅存在于高收入人群中。我们的研究发现了将保险和健康检查结合起来的好处。保健设施、健康检查中心和保险公司之间的合作将巩固市场，而健康检查、信息通信技术(ICT)和消费产品的整合将创造多种收入来源。

This paper intends to point out some problem of telemetry for wild birds and future technical expectations to prevent Avian Influenza. For medium to large migratory birds, the data collection system aboard the NOAA meteorological satellites (the ARGOS system) has been able to map their migratory routes. However, recommended C/No for Doppler shift ill be 54dBHz, while calculated required C/No for 400 bps data uplink is 36dBHz. The gap between navigation function and data communication will be almost 18 dB. The bird has to pay this overload. We would like to propose the next generation digital transponder that is an advanced DCS with multibeam on Ku-band to perform the onboard processing (DCS and navigation system with Doppler shift). In case of 42dBi antenna of the spacecraft, the ground terminal with 13dBm RF-output and 2.25dBi antenna can transmit upto 50 bps with BPSK. This terminal attached with a leg of a bird will be suitable for a dove or a gull in size, if we could put new digital transponder on Ku-band.
