Special Issue on Localisation and Positioning for Healthcare Applications
Ref: CISTER-TR-170118 Publication Date: 2016Abstract:
One of the essential functionalities for the smart health
is localisation and positioning. Accurate indoor localisation
and positioning have the potential to transform patient
navigation systems. Over the past few years, a lot of
localisation and positioning technologies have been
proposed and experimented for various healthcare
applications. Most localisation and positioning technologies
could be classified into two categories: infrastructure-free,
and infrastructure-based. On one hand, infrastructure-free
technologies leverage existing WiFi signals and combine
them with sensors without the deployment of additional
hardware. On the other hand, infrastructure-based
technologies require the deployment of additional hardware
devices. This special issue invites research papers to
promote research activities on localisation and positioning
for healthcare applications. Eight papers are selected from a
significant number of submissions.
