Using wireless GSM technology, the system “will be able to locate the exact position of the patient,” and can even interconnect the patients’ individual devices through mesh network data transfers among their wearable devices.

The tracking device is linked to a personal computer-based software application that notifies administrators or caregivers if a patient has wandered out of the facility. Tracking System for Patients with Alzheimer’s DiseaseĪlso from the Adamson University, a research project proposes “the development of a real-time tracking system for patients with Alzheimer’s disease.” Proponents of this study designed a wearable tracking device for patients in nursing homes. According to the researchers, “there are specific near-drowning body movement patterns that could be detected and assessed.” The project shows the feasibility of developing a wearable device that detetcs an instinctive drowning response in the user using motion detection, and a receiving device that makes the system “capable of sensing, communicating, comparing and initiating an alarm”. Thus, to help lifeguards prevent drowning, they conceptualized the development of a wearable device and alarm system.

Proponents of this study cited drowning as one of the top causes of accidental deaths worldwide.

On the other hand, operators can easily monitor products with the machine’s proximity sensors and inventories are reported to them in real time, making restocking easier and eliminating periodic manual inspections.Īnother technology being offered by the Adamson EE department is a system for detecting body movements indicative of drowning. Customers will be able to save time since the machine allows flexible payments in coins, bills, and points earned through purchases using magnetic stripe cards and they do not have to queue up at the cashier. This makes commerce more convenient for both customers and operators. Research by members of the Adamson University’s Electronics Engineering Department features the OTC Express, a “microprocessor and microcontroller-based automated vending machine that monitors sales, transaction records, and product inventory remotely through a database.” According to the proponents of this innovation, the vending machine aims to dispense non-prescription medicines and toiletries, or over the counter (OTC) products, that are commonly purchased from drugstores.

With the theme, “Lab to Life: Translating Health Research for Filipinos,” the day-long conference included presentations and a poster exhibit of abstracts on these “future products” as laboratory-tested solutions that can be made commercially viable and available for development with prospective industrial partners.Īmong the other technologies and plant-based products featured by the NIH were: virtual reality applications for phobia therapies electronic medical record systems and medicines derived from Tsaang gubat, Ulasimang bato, Yerba buena, and Akapulko herbs. These were among the innovative products showcased at the 21 st anniversary conference of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-University of the Philippines Manila (UP Manila) on February 28 at the Bayanihan Center, UNILAB Inc. A vending machine for non-prescription drugs and other over-the-counter products a device that helps lifeguards detect drowning victims and a tracking system for Alzheimer’s patients.
