Track and Trace Management System for Dementia and Intellectual Disabilities

This book reviews humanitarian literature and presents the development of low-cost track & trace management system integrated with accurate GPS location data pinging using Internet of Things (IoT). The first part relates to mobile device configuration with an embedded GPS and wireless Internet connection to transmit its current location. The second part presents web server implementation and development that receives the data, parses it, and stores it for access over the Internet. The third part discusses the user interface that allows one to visually identify the current location of the device.

George Ghinea is Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Brunel University London. He obtained his Ph.D.―Quality of Perception: An Essential Facet of Multimedia Communications―from the University of Reading, UK, in 2000. His research activities lie at the confluence of computer science, media, and psychology. In particular, his work focuses on the area of perceptual multimedia quality and how one builds end-to-end communication systems incorporating user perceptual requirements. His work has been applied in areas such as eye tracking, telemedicine, multimodal interaction, and ubiquitous and mobile computing. He is interested in building human-centred e-systems, particularly integrating human perceptual requirements
