    Wireless sensor networks for remote healthcare monitoring in Nigeria: Challenges and way forward
    (IEEE, 2013) Hassan, N. M.; Olaniyi, O. M.; Ahmed, A.; Dogo, E. M.
    Wireless sensor networks have gained a lot interest in the field of medicine with a wide range of capabilities. In most developed countries wireless sensor networks are being used in monitoring critical illnesses such as Cancer detection, cardiovascular diseases, monitoring asthmatic patient and in the treatment of Diabetes. Wireless sensor networks have enabled medical doctors to monitor patients remotely and give them timely feedback and support; potentially increasing the reach of health care by making it available anywhere at any time The application of Wireless Sensor Networks for remote medical monitoring is relatively new in Nigeria. Recently the Nigerian government embarked on the use of e-health to meet the health requirements of its remote and rural dwellers. In this paper, we discuss some of the core challenges facing the application of wireless sensor networks for remote medical care monitoring in Nigeria, and how these challenges can hinder the application of Wireless Sensor Networks for remote healthcare in Nigeria.

    A smart switch control system using ESP8266 Wi-Fi module integrated with an android application
    (IEEE, 2019) Makhanya, S. P.; Dogo, E. M.; Nwulu. N. I.; Damisa, U.
    There is an increase in demand for low-cost Smart Switch Control Systems (SSCS) that can remotely control home switches or devices in residential environments using mobile applications or websites. In this paper, an SSCS which uses open source software, and can be configured without any physical adjustment to the environment, is developed to automatically minimize energy consumption. The device comprises two parts: An Android application and a unit made up of a programmable Arduino board, ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, wall socket and an SD card. In the SSCS, the Android application is used to remotely control switches using the Wi-Fi technology. Tests carried out on the system proved its effectiveness and quick response to signals.
