ITU's 160 anniversary

Committed to connecting the world

Showcase on e-health

12 February 2015, Geneva, Switzerland

 

Continua and PCHA demonstrated "Genome" (new contribution for ITU-T H.810), where improvements are addressed the following three areas:

  • simpler access to device data;
  • additional services that support a better user experience, and;
  • an improved framework for remote management.

The use case showed an example of a remote monitoring using Genome.  

Center for TeleInfrastruktur (CTIF), Aalborg University, Denmark, demonstrated the concept of the eWALL platform and the initial implementation of some personalized eHealth services for the eWALL users. eWALL is a smart wireless environment to support the needs of elderly and chronically ill patients. It is formed by the eWALL Sensing Environment and the eWALL Cloud. Information is collected from within the home environment of the user by means of smart sensing devices and forwarded further by residential gateways. The eWall Home Sensing Middleware component is responsible for connecting, configuring, querying and reporting data from and to end user devices, for the interconnection of the Sensing Environment and the eWALL Cloud, and for basic data storage.

Further, CITF showed some of their prototype devices for which there may be a need for conformance and interoperability against ITU-T H.810 for PAN/LAN – IF for communication between the PAN Devices (e.g., a personal health device in terms of a medical sensor (e.g., pulseoximeter) or an actuator (e.g. reminder, message)), which may be connected over a provided by the specifications transport technology e.g. Bluetooth or USB.
