WebSA on Cry: Web-Based Technology Applied to the Cry Analysis
In this work the design of a Web-based platform for Infant Cry Analysis is proposed in order to get an effective exchange of research experiences and information sharing among the researchers within cry community. The paper presents as contribution regarding its previous equivalent site (SIU Cry Archive) the access to a Cuban Cry database via two-level user’s authentication. Another supplementary attributes and services are included as follow: breakdown news on cry analysis, and links to important web sites concerned with the cry analysis. Finally an approach among different research focus, standardization of cry-based methodologies and procedures could be achieved as a result of the use of this Webbased platform.
Virtual Diagnosis in Medicine using e-Healthcare
A new challenge in the biomedical engineering is the remote patient monitoring. But this implies a strong collaboration among an engineering group, physicians and patients. The graduating students from the electronics faculty get the experience and those investigation tools necessary to produce IT applications, like telemedicine, web-assisted medical information, virtual labs or healthcare points. In this way, a new job has arisen in the last time – bioengineer – as an ideal interface in the searching of the electronic diagnosis between patients and remote investigations performed by clinicians. The paper presents a software developed at master studies at Microsystems Department in the last year, regarding a web-assisted diagnosis page, useful for human medicine. The HTML application is described, besides the medical links.
A PROTOTYPE OF WEB-E-NOSE DEVICE USED IN MEDICINE FIELDS
A web-based system used in olfactory illness patients at home and their physician was developed. A web browser plug-in simplifies the process of capturing virtual odours and transferring it to a web site for novice computer users. The design of the virtual odours capture plug-in can be reused to acquire and securely transfer any type of data over the web. For example, readings samples from Web-E-Nose device, which can be connected directly to the Internet, can be transferred to a home E-Medicine web site. Both patients and doctors can access this web site.
