To determine the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and evaluate our experience in DR screening in a study carried out between the Ophthalmology Department of the University General Hospital of Alicante and Department 19 Primary Care of Alicante by using a non-retinal mydriatic camera and telemedicine.A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted on 2435 diabetic patients from 1 February...
Governments in under developing countries face serious problems for offering quality healthcare services at reasonable cost due to rapidly graying population and patients with chronic diseases. Due to currently healthcare resources are not sufficient, many deaths without medication are produced. Thus, this increasing important issue needs to be attended. Our approach to tackle this issue is based...
The storage and retrieval of digital ECGs in a standard-compliant way has been a key issue during the last decades. The SCP-ECG standard, one of the top efforts in this area, has been recently approved as part of the ISO/IEEE 11073 (x73) family of standards, a reference standard for medical device interoperability. For the Personal Health Device (PHD) version of the x73 standard several devices have...
This paper presents a novel implementation methodology of ISO/IEEE11073 standards for use in real monitoring platforms based on patterns paradigm. These monitoring platforms include several medical devices based on low voltage-low power microprocessors. As a proof of the concept, INTENSA project which aims to develop and evaluate a heart failure follow-up interoperable system including weigh scale,...
Recent advances in biomedical engineering and continuous technological innovations in last decade are promoting new challenges, especially in e-Health environments. In this context, the medical devices interoperability is one of the interest fields wherein these improvements require a standard-based design in order to achieve homogeneous solutions. Furthermore, the spreading of wearable devices, oriented...
Advances in information and communication technologies, ICT, are bringing new opportunities in the field of middleware systems oriented to ubiquitous environments and wearable devices used for patient telemonitoring. At a time of such challenges, this paper arises from the need to identify robust technical telemonitoring solutions that are both open and interoperable in home or mobile scenarios. These...
Remote patient monitoring in e-Health is everyday closer to be a mature technology/service. However, there is still a lack of development in areas such as standardization of the sensor's communication interface, integration into electronic healthcare record systems or incorporation in ambient-intelligent scenarios. This work identifies a set of use cases involved in the personal monitoring scenario...
