Cloud Computing is becoming an increasingly popular cost-effective enterprise model in which computing resources are made available on-demand to the user. Cloud Computing offers many benefits to all enterprises and its service-users. The Cloud model moves IT infrastructure from an upfront capital expense to an operational one and organizations are...

Rapid evolution in the domains of wearable devices and instrumentation have brought about a paradigm shift in the design and applications of sensing devices. Such has been the impact of these advances that the devices have pushed the frontiers of portability w.r.t. devices to an upcoming class of devices called wearable devices. Wearable devices ar...

Posture is a way in which a human holds his body so that there is less strain on muscles during movement. Poor body posture leads to many health issues. Incorrect posture problems, which range from back pain to fatigue may rise up and affect our daily activities. The Nowadays maximum population suffers from back pain, injuries, neck pain and should...

Context-aware Computing, considered as a part of ubiquitous computing, is an upcoming technology that has the potential to be used for improving one’s own health and providing personalized healthcare services. This paper discusses a randomized controlled trial conducted amongst 97 individuals, who were screened for stress and obesity. Out of these,...

Context aware computing, an emerging form of ubiquitous computing, has enabled the way computers interact with humans. With the ability to sense and adapt to the physical environment, its use provides immense potential in improving one's own health. This paper highlights the design of a context aware mobile agent named, 'Let's Exercise', which is a...

The accurate measurement of the distance travelled, velocity and acceleration at low velocities to supersonic speeds is an active area of research. The captive flight at Rail Track Rocket Sled (RTRS) facility provides a unique environment for kinematic testing at supersonic speeds. Using RTRS facility, an accurate distance measurement method is dev...

The rail track rocket sled (RTRS) national test facility at Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL) has been established to provide simulated flight environment for carrying out aero dynamic studies, terminal studies and kinematic studies of variety of test articles. The sled velocity is a critical parameter in evaluation trials. This veloci...

Google Health’s much ballyhooed launch in 2008 had created waves in the Health Information Technology (HIT) industry at global level. Google’s objective behind launching their PHR was to extend their consumer-centric approach towards healthcare and wellness. Positive predictions about Google Health were majorly pivoted on the trust that “Google” ha...

OFDM is combined with channel coding scheme i.e. FEC(Forward Error Correction) called CODED OFDM or COFDM isespecially suitable for high speed environment because it providesdata transfer at higher speed with reliable transmission. Mainfocus of this paper is to design COFDM transceiver whichoperates with FEC, scrambling, block interleaver withconve...

In this paper, we discuss the development process of a case study that provided graduate students experience in documenting the use of telemedicine applications and technologies in India.

A case study on telemedicine was presented at a workshop to medical practitioners, students, and telemedicine software developers in India. This paper provides the results of an evaluation of this workshop and discusses how such efforts can serve patients in rural areas in developed and developing countries.

This paper gives an overview of core factors mitigating effective transfer of TeleMedicine to Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) as a capability for improving the extremely poor state of healthcare delivery systems in that region of the world. Using specific examples of TeleMedicine applications, such as in TeleRadiology and health education, the paper highl...

Studies on the adaptation of electronic medical and personal health records in developing countries are scarce. There are sharp differences between barriers to adaptation and implementation in developing countries to that of developed countries. This paper examines the challenges faced by developing countries toward the development, progression and...
