• Design of a telemedicine emergency wireless system for elderly

  Description:  The  project  is  based  on  designing  an  interface  between  existing  bluetooth  based  ECG &  oxygen  saturation  sensors   and  a  PDA   for   monitoring  the  heart  and health  condition  of  an  elderly  at  home,  and  requesting  emergency  help  through  PDA   by  sending  data  to  physician.

   Tools:  A wireless ECG and oxygen saturation sensor development tool.

• Mobile booking using cell phones with default preferences

Description: The students are required to build an application for a user for mobile users to make a fast booking on their phones. Moreover, the user should have a default setup to act on his behave if there is more than on choice.

• Design and implement Sensor Networks for any of the following applications:

a.       Environmental applications

b.      Security and rescue applications

c.       Structural health applications

A senor network is composed of many tiny sensors of limited capabilities (i.e. power, transmission range) as shown below.

We shall use TelosB motes (sensors) for this purpose. They are small and tiny devices that can sense, process and receive/transmit. Because of this limitation in communication range, sensors have to cooperate and relay each other information. For example, to monitor the temperature over a wide area, we need many of these sensors. Each sensor will monitor the temperature in his surrounding and then transmit it to its neighbor(s) and so on until it reaches the final destination (e.g. control center or Sink).

 This project need two or three good programmers to program these motes such that they will be able to:

1. Collect required data
2. Process/filter the collected data
3. Communicate with the Sink via neighboring sensors. Here we need to implement a routing protocol. You can start with simple one and then we can process to more efficient routing protocols.
