Concentration level monitoring in education and healthcare

Abstract

During the learning process, whether students
remain attentive throughout the session influences
their learning capability. If teachers can identify whether
students are attentive they can be notified to remain
focused, thus resulting in improving their learning capability.
Traditional methods require, teachers observe students’
facial expressions to identify whether they are attentive
during the session. However, this method is often inaccurate
and increases the burden on teachers. The number of
Alzheimer's patient and resulting deaths is increasing every
year mainly due to delay in the early detection so as to
take necessary measures and treatments to overcome it.
With the development of electroencephalography (EEG)
detection tools, a window has opened for developing an
effective equipment to aid this cause.

Conclusion: Tai Chi exercise as an adjunctive treatment
may potentially improve smooth ventilating blood, smooth
emotion, strong bones and strong bones of Cervical
Spondylosis patients as well as quality of life. Tai Chi
exercise could be tentatively prescribed for Neck Type Cer-
vical Spondylosis in combination with the conventional
rehabilitation program to quicken the process of recovery.

Background: During the learning process, whether stu-
dents remain attentive throughout the session influences
their learning capability. If teachers can identify whether
students are attentive they can be notified to remain
focused, thus resulting in improving their learning capabil-
ity. Traditional methods require, teachers observe students’
facial expressions to identify whether they are attentive
during the session. However, this method is often inaccu-
rate and increases the burden on teachers. The number of
Alzheimer's patient and resulting deaths is increasing every
year mainly due to delay in the early detection so as to
take necessary measures and treatments to overcome it.
With the development of electroencephalography (EEG)
detection tools, a window has opened for developing an
effective equipment to aid this cause.
Objective: The aim is to develop a device that can check
the concentration level, memory capacity and arithmetic
levels of students and for the early detection of the Alzhei-
mer's disease. Teachers can put on remedial methods for
weaker students by offering them with special attention and
care. Early detection of Alzheimer's disease will help in
taking necessary measured to get cured or control the
extent of it.
Methods: Every subject undergoes a session of trials for
computing the subject‐specific threshold to assess his/her
attention and concentration level to perform specified tasks.
The subject will be sitting in an upright posture wearing
the EEG device, presented with the some objects or a sheet
of patterns. Session has 3 phases such as preparation, con-
centration and relaxed phases. During idle phase active
concentration to object or point on the pattern is avoided.
In the concentration phase, user actively concentrated at a
specified object or part of the pattern. In Relaxed phase
subjects are free to divert their focus from the objects and
patterns. Analysis of the data was done to estimate the val-
ues of the EEG signal extracted during the active concen-
tration period. The average data of the trials is taken as the
threshold. The threshold and the extracted raw data are
compared and analyzed. The resulting data is used for the
brain activity analysis which would help in the effective
detection of Alzheimer's in its early stages.
Results: Effective EEG signal extraction is achieved. Effi-
ciently analyzed concentration levels of students thereby
helping the staffs to analyse their concentration levels and
employing necessary measures to enhance the brain activity
and concentration skills of the students. In healthcare early
detection of the Alzheimer's was very supportive to help
the patient and provide necessary treatment and care at the
early stages itself.
Conclusion: A more user friendly, compact and better por-
table system will be designed such that it could be easily
used in education institutions. The easy portable design
will also be very helpful in hospitals aiding the patient to
move around and interact by wearing the device.

Study and design of physical health
management system for civil servants in Hubei
province of China

Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to construct a
complete civil servant health assessment index system
(adding psychological and social adaptation indicators), and
to take civil servants in Hubei province as the research
object, aiming at comprehensive, objective and accurate
evaluation of the physical health status of civil servants in
Hubei province. On the basis of seizing the factors affect-
ing the health of the civil servants, we searched the opin-
ions of the collective health experts, designed targeted
exercise prescriptions, and finally developed and designed
the Hubei province civil servant health management inte-
grated system (including database, expert database and
website), which support for the practice of promoting the
health of civil servants. This project is the need to imple-
ment the scientific concept of development, strengthen the
quality of civil servants, and build a civil servant team that
is lean, efficient, diligent, honest and pragmatic, so that
civil servants can understand their physical health and seize
