Chapter 1

Introduction

The following introduction includes motivation for the current thesis work,
based on major health care problems including fast aging of population. We
also provide a full description of the task and introduce a structure of the thesis.

1.1 Motivation

According to the latest United Nation statistic reports, the mean age of the
population is expected to grow rapidly in developed countries within the next
several decades 1. This will subsequently increase the cost of the health care and
result in significant loss for the national budgets. However, the latest achievements
in different fields of technologies may allow us to minimize the problem
and successfully integrate these technologies into the modern health care systems.
Health care is an essential part of everyday life for all human beings on
the planet. Each of us requires a periodic monitoring of vital parameters and
right treatments based on this data. These processes become even more crucial
when people reach a certain age and are not able to follow their health condition
properly without a special medical personnel or sophisticated equipment
to perform the monitoring. The older a person gets, the wider spectrum of possible
diseases and unexpected emergency situations might occur[3]. In order
to avoid this, he or she needs to be transported to the hospital, observed by
medical staff and provided with immediate help if some of the parameters are
abnormal. In many cases, even a short delay might lead to the dangerous consequences
including death of the patient. Nowadays, there is a wide spectrum
of modern monitoring devices which possess a various number of capabilities
and can assist personnel in the hospital to work with old or disabled people.
However, normally, these basic health parameters are being monitored and
measured by medical personnel only at discrete intervals. This common approach
can sometimes lead to the loss of crucial data (e.g. during the night).

Therefore, a particular interest is focused on continuous monitoring techniques.
Unlike the spot checking, this type of monitoring is capable of providing a longterm
information about the patient, helps to register emergency situations and
react adequately to any significant change in person’s health conditions in a
real time. However, the correlation between certain health parameters during
a long period of time is yet unclear. Therefore, this type of system could assist
in studying this correlation and eventually provide us with a full and complete
patients health profile, which will be subsequently analyzed by professionals.

1.2 Task description

Based on the motivation part, we can formulate the main objective of the thesis,
which implies combination of the latest development in mobile phone market
with signal processing techniques and sensor devices in order to create a
sophisticated monitoring system. The project is based on the android mobile
device (Motorola Galaxy series) and includes pulse and oximetry sensor as an
additional device. An accelerometer, embedded in the phone is also used as an
additional sensor. The main goal is subsequently divided into two parts: in the
first part we establish a reliable connection between mobile device and a sensor
to collect continuous data from patients. In the second part we examine
collected data using different sorts of processing techniques and algorithms.
Patience mobility is also an important aspect to consider. We want a person to
maintain his normal activity level while using monitoring system. Summarizing
all mentioned above we can combine a list of desired steps:
• reliable connection
• maintain patients mobility
• data collection
• correlation analysis
This project is considered as a main step towards smart monitoring system.
It will serve as an assistant device measuring patients health parameters and
triggering alarm in case of emergency. It is implemented through a close collaboration
between Artificial Intelligence and medical experience for the benefit of
the Health Care.

1.3 Thesis outline

The following thesis work contains four main chapters
- Chapter 1 represents the introduction part of the current research, contains
subsections for motivation and a full task description
- Chapter 2 gives an overview of the related work that has been done in the
area and results of the background search. The chapter is based on a project’s
description for the Ubiquitous Healthcare systems, followed by some significant
works in Fuzzy logic applied for the medical purposes.
- Chapter 3 represents a full system set up realized before the actual testing of
the application and signal processing. Contains a full description of the main
sensor device involved in the experimental part.
- Chapter 4 depicts a full overview of the analytic part of the work. Data
processing including ”change point detection” and ”anomaly detection” is followed
by ”activity correlation”.
- Chapter 5 is based on a testing of the system in a real environment involving
patient trial together with stress testing beforehand. The conditions and details
of the experiment is followed by conclusion, drawn on the achieved results.
