| Abstract | Remote healthcare monitoring and on demand provision of support attracts a lot of interest due to the ability to provide assistance to elderly and patients when needed; thus on one side the hospitals demand less personnel to be engaged in monitoring patients, whereas on the other side the patient does not need to remain hospitalized unless there is need to. Wireless and wearable devices enable the constant monitoring of vital parameters; with the aid of appropriate infrastructures they can be sent to the hospital and when it is needed help can be sent at home. As the number of remotely monitored patients grows, there is a need for efficient management of emergency messages originating from portable and wearable devices as well as a demand for an efficient management scheme for mobile units, which provide help at home or transfer patients to the hospital. We present an architecture that enables provision of help at home with wearable devices and wireless transmission methods. Our approach also focuses on providing help at home in an efficient manner minimizing the service time while maintaining high availability for the high priority calls. We present an algorithm that enables the management of prioritized messages and manages the mobile units providing assistance at home in an efficient manner. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
