Integration of portable, energy efficient computing devices with clothing results in possibilities of wear-ware. Wearable network is composed of tiny interactive devices, which is highly appealing now a day’s. A wearable body area network (WBAN) is the emerging technology that is developed for wearable monitoring application. Wireless body area networks are designed for remote patient […]

This project is founded by European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) ICT Labs. (http://www.eitictlabs.eu/) The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is enticing; each and every “thing” in the world is expected to be eventually connected to the Internet, thereby becoming a part of the “context” within which the applications live. In most of the IoT […]

Monitoring the brain signals of the human during sleep can provide us a good estimation of physical and mental state of a human. When such data are combined, either with the knowledge of a sleep pathologist or with a special automated diagnosis system, they could help the diagnosis of various types of sleep disorders such […]
