    EKG is an electrocardiogram, a machine used to check on problems with your electrical activity with your heart. An electrocardiogram machine translates the heart’s electrical pattern into lines that specific professionals can read it. The first EKG was made by Willem Einthoven, a Dutch Java island (now called Indonesia) born citizen. Willem was born the 21st day of May 1860. His father, Jacob Einthoven, was born and educated in Groningen (Netherlands). His father was also medically related, as he was a medical officer in the Indies, and later on he became a doctor Semarang. Willem lost his father at the age of six. Him and his mother were left out. He had two brothers and three sisters, so his mother had to struggle with six kids. After he graduated from secondary school, he intended to follow his father’s footsteps, and attended medical school.…

    The United Nations predicts that by the year 2050, 22% of the global population will be aged 60 years or over, from current 11.2% (2011). This ageing population has brought about multiple challenges and opportunities to the healthcare industry. One of these challenges is fall and injury prevention of the aged in hospitals, care facilities, as well as home settings. The Fallarm project is to develop a technology which can prevent and detect accidental falls, keep the person informed about the risks while they are moving around, and also inform the hospital care team, or the family members in case of an event. A wristband to be worn in the wrist will provide the inputs to the system. The sensors in this band will monitor and record the movement and activities of the person, while keeping the person informed of his risk status at all times. The sensors will also detect a fall and report it to the care team so that appropriate action can be taken to minimize the impacts of the fall. The system will continuously update itself based on the data from the sensor and will maintain a risk profile, mobility patterns, adverse events record of its users. This historical data in turn will be provided to the sensors to more accurately identify and prevent a fall. The idea is to enable…
