As a result of improved living conditions and the progress achieved in areas related to medicine, there is a decrease in the mortality rate but an increase in the number of patients with chronic diseases. Contrary to what happened until a few decades ago, patients with chronic diseases now have a high life expectancy. However, the patients increased life expectancy, often causes great pain and significant...
Advances in the last decades in the areas of medical science and patients treatment resulted in a decrease in the mortality rate but also an increase in the number of patients with chronic diseases. This increased life expectancy of patients with chronic diseases often involves great suffering and considerable adverse effects for the patients. Thus, in addition to prolonging life, it is essential...
The ability to effectively measure the quality of health-related life (HRQoL) is a key aspect to describe the impacts of the disease, treatment, or other injuries, beyond normal and expected aging of the patient. During the last two decades, the assessment of the patient's health status has undergone a dramatic change of paradigm, evolving from a predominant reliance on biochemical and physical measurements...
The development of new technologies, information systems, decision support systems and clinical parameters prediction algorithms using machine learning and data mining opens a new perspective in many area of health. In this context, relevance presents the concept of Quality of Life (QOL) in health and the possibility of developing Support Systems Clinical Decision (SADC) that use it. Through individual...
Telemedicine can be implemented using a sensor network that carries users' biometric information collected by tiny intelligent sensors attached to the human body. We propose a communication system that can be used for telemedicine to improve the Quality of Life of individuals, which uses a sensor network and a sensor database with mutual authentication to ensure security. Finally, this paper describes...
Continuous pervasive monitoring has the potential to improve the quality of life of many persons (for example those who suffer from heart arrhythmias or elderly people who suffer from chronic diseases). We show the three main steps related to the monitoring process and supported by our system. First, how data are captured by sensors which send those data using wireless communications to a PDA (personal...
