Completed projects

Overview

This project aims at developing an innovative participatory  medicine infrastructure by integrating biomedical sensors, geospatial  and positional technologies and Web 2.0.  This infrastructure enables  patients to communicate, to their health professionals, information  about their illnesses, and seek advice. The infrastructure empowers  public health planning authorities and primary caregivers to utilise a  real-time surveillance system to track current and local medical  conditions, and provides sickness information to raise the public  awareness.

Overview

For the companies such as Google that maintain online maps, the  authoritative sources of geographic data are commercially expensive so  they tend to use crowd-sourced geographic data in these maps. The public  is increasingly using these online maps, nevertheless, the quality and  integrity of the data in the maps is not fully known as they are created  by an untrained crowd. Yet, the online maps have the potential to  contribute to fatal errors particularly in emergency situations. While  the use of theses maps by the public is unavoidable, the development of  an approach to facilitate the automatic validation of the data in these  maps forms the foundation of the proposed study mission.
