Human Interface Multi Pointing Wireless Device

If you ask people to name one of the most important technologies of the twentieth century, one of the answers would most certainly be the computer. A computer, however, is not a technology all to itself. Many other technologies went into the modern home computers of today, including the mouse. Douglas C. Engelbart, a worker at the SRI (Stanford Research Institute), invented the mouse in 1964. However, the process of the invention of the mouse was not instantaneous and without effect on the realm of computing and society. In this paper I will be examining the problems that had to be overcome and the technologies that had to be invented for the mouse to become a reality. It also

This technological advancement facilitates the potential use of a \ac{WHTD} as a solution to relieve the burden on the health care system. The \ac{WHTD} refers to the devices which are capable of monitoring the physiological signs (e.g., heart activity, \ac{ECG}, \ac{EMG}, blood pressure, body temperature, oxygen saturation, etc.) of the human body and its surrounding environment (e.g., light, humidity, temperature, etc.) using a number of sensors located on or/and in the human body using \ac{BAN} \cite{movassaghi2014wireless,bangash2014survey,jovanov2011body}. This has been employed in various applications, such as military and sports training, \ac{HCI}, entertainment (interactive gaming), home and office automation, environmental monitoring, and \ac{VR}. It has also shown a tremendous potential as a personal healthcare system, which can provide services such as remote patient and elderly people monitoring, activity monitoring, rehabilitation, and disability assistance services as these devices can monitor health status seamlessly in real-time without disturbing users daily life. Consequently, major \ac{ICT} companies are introducing various wearable devices and services with Personalised Health Data management systems. Apple iWatch with HealthKit, Samsung Galaxy fit and Samsung Digital Health, and Google Fit are some of the

My knowledge in this area is reflected with my understanding in the concept of remotely monitoring patients is not new but recently a lot of attention has been placed on smart wearable body sensors (SWS). Therefore, these devices contain an assortment of different sensors which can be used to monitor variables and transmit data either to a personal device or to a storage site. The variety of the sensors can be attributed to the types of stimuli that they respond to, for an example, physiological vital signs, body movements, and organic substances and their placements clothing, subcutaneous implant, body part accessory, and many more. These devices have the opportunity to meet the patients’ needs by administering information in real-time to the patient’s smartphone, computer or other wireless devices and has the potential to influence their behaviours. The sensors allow patients to self-monitor, track, and assess human physiological data, while also providing interfaces and a dashboard for healthcare providers. These sensors are easily managed and are becoming increasingly accurate and reliable for patient care. The SWS’s can also be utilized as a diagnostic tool to

Advancements in technology are causing dynamic changes that further enhance our lifestyle on a daily basis. Did you ever imagine you can answer a complex question only with the power of a handheld device, or what about tracking your every move using only a wristband? Are we capable of streamlining this powerful technology for application into the medical field?

Our Smartphones are touchscreen and we are used to touchscreen tablets so now is the time for touchscreen laptops. One advantage these laptops are having is the Keyboard on which most of the computer functions are dependent. The machine on which you can ‘Touch’ or ‘Type’.

A pointing device (typically a mouse or a trackball) is a device that aids the user in the general use of a computer. Whilst it is not important in the basic use of computers it is needed when working with digital graphics as the use of a pointing device means that you can edit images and move anything without issue. The average mouse costs around £10 and below. A trackball costs slightly more with an average around £25.

A. K. Whitchurch, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, J. K. Abraham ; V. K. Varadan, authors of, Design of a Wireless Remote Point-of-Care Monitoring System. The paper spoke about the design and development of a remote point-of-care patient monitoring system which can be used for the patient to be monitored remotely while any restriction of user’s location.Wireless data acquisition occurs and which is used for real-time evaluation of the patient's conditions as well as data logging.

There is an explosive growth in wearable computing devices over the past couple of years mostly due to technological advances in smart devices. Although most of these are self-care monitoring devices the need for assisted living where a patient can be monitored continuously using these devices are emerging fast. In a typical tracking system, various vital biological signals, fall risks and changes in predetermined health conditions are collected via sensors and shared with medical professionals for intervention if necessary. Most popular applications of self-care monitoring include daily activity monitoring, emergency and fall detection, and rehabilitation. Despite these useful applications, the paradigms such as autonomy, context awareness, and spontaneous interactions are not well integrated into these existing systems yet.

Portable systems support computing and communication activities where they are defined by their design for mobile users, and from an ergonomic point of view they are not homogeneous. Some portable systems are designed for outdoor use and hence they can be used during adverse environmental conditions Huber, 2002).

We first started seeing wearable computing technology sometime in the 1960’s. Helicopter pilots during the Vietnam War wore head mounted displays for night missions and even office ID badges can be considered a type of wearable. The technology since that time has grown exponentially and the advancement of miniaturization as well battery life leaves us at the brink of a technology revolution. The term “wearable” is the name for these devices because they are worn on the body like normal items, such as watches, glasses and jewelry. These devices consist of three module components: sensors, displays and a computing architecture. Not all modules must be

This web article on wearable electronics is well developed and stays within the topic. It helps touch on issues that are undoubtedly important in terms of their potential impacts on users. Security and privacy issues are aspects that have been found to have a significant impact on devices such as smartphones, which operate on a similar platform as wearable electronics. In addition, the author makes

Cellphones are the most dominant of all mobile devices and not only has it maintained popularity in the society, but it has become a major necessity. Its importance is to place and receive calls, take pictures and store data which all can provide a sense of security for the owner. The following are also considered to be mobile; laptops, netbooks and cameras. A large volume of the population owns at least one of these devices and because of all the advanced technology it displays, spending substantial time using these devices can lead to tremendous physical damage, such as vision problems, chronic neck and back pain and a lack of sleep disorder.

In the contemporary gadgeted era, human patients are continuously monitored during their stay in the hospital. It gives rise to inconvenience and psychological strain to the patients during their stay in hospitals. Factors like trauma, pain, treatment cost, time spent and human energy also add up to the stress and health detoriation, which leads to early discharge from hospital care. This heath issue can be carried over at home as well with minimal or no monitoring. To avoid this kind of issues, improving the monitoring facilities and identifying the health condition before the emergency in remote areas or at patient’s home can be done by using Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSN).

Abstract- This article will be talking about how technology started to be wearable, how it affects our lives. The usage, advantages and disadvantages of 20 different wearable devices. An expectation about wearable technology future.
