Abstract :
One of the most urgent and daunting tasks of our time is provide quality healthcare in the face of increasing incidence of disease, an aging population, soaring costs, and declining public funding. A new community of researchers at UCLA has been formed with the Schools of Medicine and the Center for Health Sciences, Engineering, Public Health, Nursing and Business, and others to create a new low- cost healthcare model that applies technology to bring affordable care within the reach of every citizen. This model holds promise of revolutionizing the accessibility, quality, financing, and delivery of healthcare in much the same way that low-cost cellular phone technology has dramatically changed telecommunications worldwide. Wireless Health combines this ubiquitous wireless access with personal sensing technology and a foundation in medical research to support a large population with a powerful, low cost healthcare service. Using a framework of wireless medical devices deployed in a real-world community, we target key challenges for pervasive wireless health systems: system signal searching and large-scale system failure detection and diagnosis. This new wireless health technology combines standard, ubiquitous cellular telephony networking and consumer devices with wireless, wearable sensor monitoring. The system components include standard and available wireless network technology, wireless consumer devices, established sensing technologies, and services provided by the healthcare enterprise. These enabling new technologies combine the critical methodologies of biomedical and clinical sciences with system architecture and software systems provided by engineering research. We highlight a few key devices and systems, including the Smart Shoe, the Smart Cane, the WANDA B. system, and the SOPHI infrastructure.
