This study explores how large language models (LLMs) based smart collars can enable pets to express themselves and interact with their owners through social media. We proposed DogChat: a pet-centered prototype system that captures real-time visual and ...

Emerging mobile health (mHealth) and eHealth technologies offer new opportunities for remote monitoring and interventions for individuals with mental health and neurological disorders. Traditional hospital methods are not suitable for long-term epilepsy ...

The increasing interest in thermal haptic feedback devices, particularly for virtual reality (VR) applications, highlights the need for more immersive user experiences. However, replicating precise thermal sensations on the fingers remains challenging ...

Previous menstrual health literature highlights a variety of signals not included in existing menstrual trackers because they are either difficult to gather or are not typically associated with menstrual health. Since it has become increasingly ...

In recent years, data-driven methodologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are taking the lead in many biomedical fields, including the interpretation of electroencephalogram (EEG) experiments collected by wereable Brain Computer ...

With the advent of IoMT enabled devices, the monitoring and analysis of patient diagnostic parameters has become considerably efficient. However, due to the patient data’s sensitivity and safety, a set of requirements that can ensure IoMT systems’ ...

Cultural sites such as museums and monuments are popular tourist destinations worldwide. Visitors come to these places to learn about the cultures, histories, and arts of a particular region or country. However, for many cultural sites, traditional ...

Whispering is a common privacy-preserving technique in voice-based interactions, but its effectiveness is limited in noisy environments. In conventional hardware- and software-based noise reduction approaches, isolating whispered speech from ambient ...

Continuous blood glucose monitoring systems are also increasingly popular for use in healthy, non-diabetic populations, as they provide insight into a person's metabolic status, which can have a significant impact on improving lifestyle, healthy eating, ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly growing and spreading across different markets, including the customer market and consumer IoT (CIoT). The large variety of gadgets and their availability makes CIoT more and more influential, especially in the ...

The need for creative solutions in real-time health monitoring has been highlighted by the rise in health-related incidents involving drivers of motor vehicles. It has led to the development of wearable technology that seamlessly integrates with ...

Currently, liver transplantation is the most effective treatment available for patients with end-stage liver disease. Patients, after being transplanted, require immunosuppressive treatment that must be monitored. mHealth systems reduce costs and ...

The wearable e-healthcare systems are a critical IoT mission having wearable sensors, wireless devices and intelligent monitoring of surroundings. The ultimate goal of e-healthcare systems is to identify or diagnose the patients by recognising their ...

Chinese chest pain centers (CPCs) have been expanding and maturing for the past decade, but patient wait times for pre-hospital care remain long.

To demonstrate that the remote electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring system can ...

In this paper, we propose a cross body signal pairing (CBSPCR) protocol to enable key generation between wearable devices with cardiac and respiratory sensors. Most previous pairing protocols require both wearable devices to access the same biometric ...

In recent years, wearable technology has gained popularity due to features like long battery life, network connectivity, and fitness monitoring. Human Activity Recognition has emerged as a popular use case for smartwatches, enabling the recognition of ...

This article presents the initial user-centered research exploring the opportunities in the collection of Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD) within the context of a project aimed at improving health management and outcomes among residents in African ...

Drowning incidents can occur in swimming pools even with professional lifeguards present. This is because drowning swimmers often face difficulties in calling for help due to choking, making it challenging for lifeguards to recognize them and provide a ...

Accurate and reliable human motion reconstruction is crucial for creating natural interactions of full-body avatars in Virtual Reality (VR) and entertainment applications. As the Metaverse and social applications gain popularity, users are seeking cost-...

Engagement is a human experience relevant in multiple contexts, including classrooms, presentations and workplaces. Stemming from flow theory, engagement in these contexts has been studied using wearable devices, which can unobtrusively measure ...
