The combination of bio-telemetry, sensor networks, communication
networks and computing has opened up new areas in the medical field
and provided the means for improved health care delivery. Over the
past decade therefore reliance on information technology has become
very prominent as doing so makes it a lot easier for health
practitioners to offer much more efficient health services. This
book is a compendium of emerging smart techniques using artificial
intelligence for diagnosis, bio-informatics data analysis and
biomedical systems. It details innovative applications of neural
networks, computer vision, panoramic image processing,
electroencephalography, electromyography and specialized
information delivery based on smart sensors and communication to
support the deaf, control of prosthetic limb, fall detection,
cancer detection and fatigue detection. These tools and methods are
presented for application in secure transportation, home-based
health care and in medical establishments. The state-of-the art
coverage provide also practical foundations for further research in
biomedical informatics and engineering. Technical topics discussed
in the book include: * Active detection of driver drowsiness; *
Myoelectric Control of Limb Prostheses; * Electromyography; *
Electroencephalography; * Bio-Signal Telemetry Sensor Networks; *
Computer Vision in health care delivery; * Applications of wireless
communication devices in health care delivery Contents: Preface; 1.
