A non-invasive solution for monitoring of the activity and dehydration of organisms is proposed in the work. For this purpose, a wireless standalone chemical sensor platform using two separate measurement techniques has been developed. The first approach for activity monitoring is based on humidity measurement. Our solution uses new humidity sensor based on a nanostructured TiO2 surface for sweat rate monitoring. The second technique is based on monitoring of potassium concentration in urine. High level of potassium concentration denotes clear occurrence of dehydration. Furthermore, a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) was developed for this sensor platform to manage data transfer among devices and the internet. The WBAN coordinator controls the sensor devices and collects and stores the measured data. The collected data is particular to individuals and can be shared with physicians, emergency systems or athletes' coaches. Long-time monitoring of activity and potassium concentration in urine can help maintain the appropriate water intake of elderly people or athletes and to send warning signals in the case of near dehydration. The created sensor system was calibrated and tested in laboratory and real conditions as well. The measurement results are discussed.

HL7 Infobutton je komunikační protokol pro jednotné vyžádání, shromáždění a zobrazení medicínských znalostí v kontextu uživatele nemocničního informačního systému. V článku jsou nastíněny klíčové prvky a vlastnosti protokolu. Zavedení do nemocnice ale přináší zcela novou roli v managementu znalostí nemocnice. Závěr článku naznačuje záměr prvního praktického využití HL7 Infobutton v ČR pro zprostředkování přístupu ke klinickým doporučeným postupům odborných společností prostřednictvím katalogu.

Computers are more important for people with a disability than for common population. This group cannot work or study in obvious way. The reduced ability of movement does not enable to leave their residence, to meet other people or to join in numerous activities. Due to this reason electronic communication has capital importance for these people. Contemporary market offers computers with modifications, technical equipment and assistive devices. It is necessary to consult their right use with a professional and the best is an occupational therapist. On the base of initial medical history the therapist recommends suitable and safe operation of the computer. Great emphasis must be put on ergonomics of working place, ergonomic aids and work organization. This avoids possible stress and complications. Education is very important. With the help of computers disabled people may not be limited in such extent, both in company sphere and study or career implementation. They can realise themselves, obtain information, advice, assistance, they can make new contacts and enjoy themselves. Electronic communication eliminates isolation of these people. Not insignificant plus is also financial advantageousness of electronic communication. Computers and internet network can be an important way of education for those people whose regular school attendance causes problems. Thanks to work on a computer the employment opportunities and retraining possibilities appeared for people with a disability. This information is principal and is related to job rehabilitation and motivation for further education. It is very important to obtain information on various projects and to join them. Although the disabled people have legislative protection in the labour market, the interest of the employers and their individual approach is still essential. It is also necessary to impact social environment and the access of our society.
