Sensor Fusion-Based Middleware for Smart Homes
Lorcan Coyle,Steve Neely,Graeme Stevenson,Mark Sullivan,Simon Dobson,Paddy Nixon 한국과학기술원 인간친화 복지 로봇 시스템 연구센터 2007 International Journal of Assistive Robotics and Me Vol.8 No.2
Smart homes are sensor-rich environments that contain dynamic sets of interacting components. These components often use competing and closed standards and form a message-based architecture. This complicates the development of applications that require information from disparate sources. It becomes difficult to add new components or to allow components from different applications to interact with each another. In this paper we describe Construct, a pervasive computing middleware that is ideally suited for deployment in the smart home. Construct acts as a sensor fusion layer that takes output from each smart home component and makes it available to all applications. This makes it easy to develop applications that require access to heterogeneous sources of sensor data, and to add sensors to existing systems to improve their performance. This paper demonstrates two Construct-enabled smart home applications and shows how access to new sensors leads to improvements in their performance.
Recent progress in the management of chronic cough
송우정,Jin An,Lorcan McGarvey 대한내과학회 2020 The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine Vol.35 No.4
Chronic cough is a common clinical condition with significant impact on quality of life and for which effective therapy remains an unmet clinical need. Over the past decade, there has been a major shift in how we approach this problem, driven by better appreciation of the clinical manifestation of chronic cough and an improved understanding of the associated neurobiology. “Cough hypersensitivity syndrome” has been proposed as a new diagnostic term for chronic cough, encompassing different phenotypes of the condition. Accumulating evidence suggests that this new concept is clinically relevant. However, while it is gaining widespread endorsement within the allergy and respiratory community, raising its profile in routine clinical practice is a priority. Thus, the present paper reviews recent progress in our understanding and management of chronic cough, with focus on mechanistic and clinical studies. It also provides detail on knowledge gaps and future research directions.
Social Rhythms and Nocturnal Routines in Community Dwelling Older Adults
Julie Behan,David Prendergast,Lorcan Walsh,Brenda Quigley 동국대학교 정보융합기술원 2008 International Journal of Assistive Robotics and Sy Vol.9 No.4
This paper describes a pilot carried out by The Digital Health Group in Intel, in which daily social rhythms of community dwelling older adults were examined and related to objectively and subjectively recorded sleep measurements. Ten relatively healthy independently living older adults were interviewed using ethnographic processes to determine a baseline of social activities, behaviours and nocturnal sleeping routines. Each home was fitted with six sensing elements to establish and monitor daily and nocturnal activities. Social behaviours were explored through social contact through phone conversation and human interaction, through mobility, inside and outside the home, and through a person’s self reported internal state (how they feel each day). Nocturnal rhythms were examined through actigraph watches and bed pressure sensing devices. A preliminary sub-set of the results are presented in this paper in the form of case studies showing subjective and objective data sets and their comparison to social routines.
