TL;DR: This project provides a good two-way communication with the injured and the hospital to assist them to give first aid before an ambulance arrives and a novel technique to assist the people who just met with accident through GPS and GSM.
Abstract: The main objective of this work is to create a Health Care monitoring and Guidance system for persons who are travelling in outdoor environments like cars. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and GPS (Global Positioning System) technologies are separately and combined today in many applications in our day to day life. The GSM module will send a message along with the GPS location to the end user through text, and a call is initiated to the user for further instructions. The Global Positioning System (GPS) will give the location of the interested vehicle. This system helps the doctor or anyone to monitor the accident who is outdoor and has less help. This will help the hospital to monitor the accident as well as guide the injured through difficult situations. Using a buzzer, the persons nearby will come to know that the person is in danger or in poor health conditions. This project provides a good two-way communication with the injured and the hospital to assist them to give first aid before an ambulance arrives. So, this paper devices a novel technique to assist the people who just met with accident through GPS and GSM.

TL;DR: In this paper, all-flexible strain sensors made of graphene, microfluidic liquid metal, and stretchable elastomer were developed for structural health monitoring of curved concrete structures and for tracking the angular motion of a human wrist.
Abstract: This paper reports on all-flexible strain sensors made of graphene, microfluidic liquid metal, and stretchable elastomer. These graphene sensors feature a flexible wiring design, where liquid metal is introduced into microfluidic channels for wiring inside the devices. This design allows enhanced overall structural flexibility and a reduced risk of stress-related mechanical failure of the sensors, at the contact areas between the graphene sensing elements and the metal wires. A unidirectional strain sensor and a multidirectional rosette strain sensor are developed, by encasing patterned graphene and microfluidic liquid metal channels with a stretchable elastomer. We demonstrate the use of the developed unidirectional strain sensor for structural health monitoring of curved concrete structures, and for tracking the angular motion of a human wrist. The multilayer rosette strain sensor is shown to be capable of detecting the amplitude and angle of a primary strain in a multidirectional strain field.

TL;DR: The paper describes a cross-layer framework capable of handling soft and hard faults as well as the system's degradation, and discusses the dependability properties of the Fault Management framework itself and related infrastructure.
Abstract: Semiconductor products manufactured with latest and emerging processes are increasingly prone to wear out and aging. While the fault occurrence rate in such systems increases, the fault tolerance techniques are becoming even more expensive and one cannot rely on them alone. Rapid emergence of embedded instrumentation as an industrial paradigm and adoption of respective IEEE 1687 standard by key players of semiconductor industry opens up new horizons in developing efficient on-line health monitoring frameworks for prognostics and fault management. The paper describes a cross-layer framework capable of handling soft and hard faults as well as the system's degradation. In addition to mitigating/correcting the faults, the system may systematically monitor, detect, localize, diagnose and classify them (manage faults). As a result of such fault management approach, the system may continue operating and degrade gracefully even in case if some of the system's resources become unusable due to intolerable faults. The main focus of this paper is however to discuss the dependability properties of the Fault Management framework itself and related infrastructure.
