2011-10-05 - CNet attends the 2nd International ICST Conference on Wireless Mobile Communication and Healthcare (MobiHealth) 2011 at Kos - Greece

The objectives of this conference are to advance medical diagnosis, treatment, and patient care through application of wireless communications, mobile computing and sensing technologies. It aims to provide an international forum to bring together researchers and experts from academia, healthcare organizations, research institutions, and industrial enterprises working in the field of wireless communication and health care to share ideas and discuss cutting-edge research, present experience with recent developments in healthcare delivery, and to provide practical guidance to policy makers and the setting of applicable standards.

 

CNet has submitted two papers for this conference and both rely on the current EU-projects the company works with. The first one is based on the development made for the inCASA project and falls under the special technical session 2:ICT Platforms and Technologies for the Daily Management of Chronic Diseases and the Support of the Ageing Population and is entitled “Using SOA for a Combined Telecare and Telehealth Platform for Monitoring of Elderly People” by G. Lamprinakos, S. Asanin, P. Rosengren, D Kaklamani, I. Venieris. The other paper falls under the other special session called Th.4: Mobile and Wireless Technologies for Healthcare Delivery and Emergency with the title “Service-Oriented Middleware Architecture for Mobile Personal Health Monitoring” by M. Ahlsen, S. Asanin, P. Kool, P. Rosengren, J. Thestrup.

 

Both papers will be published in LNICST, appear in SpringerLink and will be referenced in the ICST's digital library, the European Union Digital Library (EUDL).

2011-01-27 - The Fridge Fight leads the way in how to reduce Energy and Money consumed
EnergyInBalance.com is a web service that monitors the electricity consumption in the home divided by different devices and rooms. The customers will see how much each device has cost day by day, hour by hour instead of only a total sum on your monthly energy bill. You can also compare your own consumption with others for the whole household and for individual devices.

The EnergyInBalance system supplies the customers with a set of smartplugs and a software that is installed in the wireless network at home. The user does not have to make any installations in the power central or smart meter, only place the smartplugs in  the wall sockets where the monitoring of a device takes place. The rest is done by the software that connects to the smartplug and sends the monitored energy comsumption data of the individual device to the webservice where you can see the current consumption and get statistics and estimates of the future consumption.

One important part of the service is to compile statistics from many users and create automatic comparisons of the energy consumption of different devices and manufacturers. Is Electrolux a lesser energy spender than Whirlpool, or is it the other way around ? The Fridge Fight is already up and running and it compares the installed fridges on parameters such as energy consumption, environmental load in CO2 and direct costs.

-    The monitoring we make public today shows us very clear winners and losers of the fight, and the differences in energy consumption and cost is measured in many hundred Euros after only a few years, said Sten Ahlin, Managing Director of EnergyInBalance. And the fight does not end with fridges. We should monitor our entire homes per individual device to really make a big change. Only the winners of the device comparisons should be allowed to stay in your home, concludes Sten Ahlin.

The technology is new and it differs from the solutions that only monitors the total consumption of the household. Compared with other systems, EnergyInBalance has chosen to go for software in combination with Internet technology instead of our own hardware. EnergyInBalance has its roots in the EU project HYDRA that has developed an Open Source platform for “The Internet of Things” or M2M – machine to machine communication.

EnergyInBalance will become a community for everyone with an interest of becoming more aware of their energy behavior. Increased awareness is a first step to reducing the everyday waste of electricity. The household economy and our common environment will win. EnergyInBalance has a long term vision of contributing to a better balance between production and consumption of energy in the homes. The monitoring of energy is only the first step, next step is to control your devices and optimize them for energy efficiency and monitoring of local production by solar panels and other sources of energy.

2011-01-26 - CNet is now a member of the ANT+ Alliance
We are intensifying our investments into personal health monitoring solutions and are becoming a member of the ANT+ Alliance. Membership will comprise access and knowledge of millions of deployed ANT™ nodes. The ANT™ wireless networking protocol is suited for most low data rate sensor network topologies ranging from P2P or star, to practical mesh networks. The technology is well applied within areas such as sports, wellness and home health applications and CNet will use it within relevant projects (e.g. REACTION or inCASA). It will allow us to incorporate devices and sensors heart rate monitors, sport watches, weight scales, blood and glucose monitors, biking and fitness equipments into our applications.

But ANT™ is also a practical solution for home and industrial automation applications where it has been designed to simplify network development and to optimize network operational efficiency. As such, the ANT™ membership will cover both eHealth solutions that CNet is currently working on as well as contribute on the further development and refinement of Hydra and EnergyInBalance.
2010-10-25 - ME3Gas at CO-Summit in Ghent
The ITEA & ARTEMIS Co-summit 2010 was held in Ghent, Belgium. This Co-summit was the main stage for the ITEA and ARTEMIS project exhibitions.
