An article on PERIMETER and the application of the devloped technology has been picked up by the leading social media news site for the mobile industry, GoMo News.
This article relates to the PERIMETER paper entitled “Seamless Mobile Communications for mHealth” which was published in the Journal of eHealth Technology and Application in 2010.
This paper, authored by Gemma Power, Eileen Dillon and Frances Cleary Grant, examines the use of mobile devices and technologies within the PERIMETER project in providing seamless mobile communications for mHealth. In particular, PERIMETER makes use of smart phones with intelligent sensors with sensing capabilities such as GPS location, proximity and accelerometers to create a mobile wireless sensor network to ensure sensitive health related information can be transferred in a seamless and timely fashion across different selected high quality network connections.
