Medical data are crucial for providing reliable mobile health services. However, its reliability may be degraded due to internal factors related to performance variations of mobile technologies used in the application and other external ones such as the environmental ones. This paper addresses this problem by proposing an ontology-based approach to deal with data and reliability management in mobile...
As defined by WHO and ITU, mobile health (mHealth) is expected to change healthcare service modes and will be at the core of the future healthcare system. As for considering human activities, hotspot and indoor environments are the major scenarios to carry mHealth services (e.g., homecare). To accommodate mHealth services, dense/superdense small-cell layout in Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) is a...
Community health data can be used to track diseases, facilitate efficient deployment of medical resources, or reduce clinic wait times in fledgling healthcare systems in developing countries. Despite these potential benefits, many electronic data collection, aggregation and digitization projects fail within a few years of launching. Over a three-year span, Community Health Workers (CHWs) operating...
It is becoming increasingly important for countries like Japan, Finland and Italy to enable as wide as possible home care for their elderly citizens because of the rapidly changing age structure of the population and high hospital costs. Wireless sensors hidden into furnishings can provide necessary information for high quality planning of home care visits. We conducted a system field test of 37 homes...
Dealing with life threatening situations demands efficiency and effectiveness of operations including optimizing the emergency response time, and utilizing resources and personnel as best appropriate for each incident. In this paper, we look at the efforts of the regional Emergency Medical Department (EMD) of Crete to introduce new technologies for optimizing emergency response, including the computerization...
In this article we investigate the application of IEEE 802.11 wireless standard to QoS (quality of service) support within wireless e-health/telemedicine services. The stringent requirements and real-time nature of medical application introduce the need for QoS provisioning in wireless medical networks. The quick delivery of a patient's measurements is an extremely important as well as reliability...
