Health issues are rising progressively due to the ignorance of health monitoring on regular basis which can now be looked after by the fast growing communication technologies and smart devices. In this paper, a robust healthcare model is proposed for continuous monitoring of the patient even when the patient is traveling. Sensitive data is collected from the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors connected...
Proposals and some implementations of Internet of Things (IoT) systems for healthcare are described. Implications of current European Union legislation, the new General Data Protection Regulation, for the security and reliability of healthcare IoT systems and for the privacy of users of these systems are presented. Analytics of healthcare IoT data for the requirements of evidence based healthcare...
Internet of things is promising to change the world to a better one with its tremendous applications in our daily lives where all physical objects will be connected to each other including humans. One major category of Internet of Things applications falls in the health industry, where sensors collect and register critical measurements such as updates about pressure and glucose. Encryption is a crucial...
At present telemedicine is widely used in developing countries for its variety of health services. In this paper, we have developed a low cost portable telemedicine tool kit for remote diagnosis of patients. Remote patient monitoring is one of the vital component of any telemedicine services. We have successfully able to collect patient data from any remote locations by using our developed tool kit...
Physical telerehabilitation services over the Internet allow physiotherapists to engage in remote consultation with patients at their homes, improving the quality of care and reducing costs. Traditional visual approaches, such as webcams and videophones, are limited in terms of precision of assessment and support for assistance with exercises. In this paper, we present a Physical Telerehabilitation...
The potential of cloud-supported cyber–physical systems (CCPSs) has drawn a great deal of interest from academia and industry. CCPSs facilitate the seamless integration of devices in the physical world (e.g., sensors, cameras, microphones, speakers, and GPS devices) with cyberspace. This enables a range of emerging applications or systems such as patient or health monitoring, which require patient...
The tracking of the activities of daily living (ADL) may have significant implications in healthcare because it would enable healthcare professionals to receive updates remotely regarding the functional status of post-injury and post-surgery patients, and people with disabilities and the elderly. If successful, technologies that enable ADL tracking could dramatically reduce the healthcare cost because...
Wearable sensors for heart-rate, ECG, blood pressure, and blood glucose are gaining increasing prominence in home-based healthcare. Though the medical sensory data is now routinely encrypted and signed, the timestamp associated with the data, which is needed for accurate correlation and reconstruction of medical events, remains poorly secured. In this paper we first motivate the problem by demonstrating...
The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is emerging by leaps and bound due to tremendous evolutions in sensors and wireless communication technologies. For WBAN technology improvisation, researchers are mainly concentrating on technical parameters of health monitoring to make it interactive and real time based. A WBAN is an integration of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to connect various Biomedical...
In this paper we have developed a Telemedicine model with portable tool kit for remote patients to collect vital signs of patients which are used for Telemedicine services. This developed system is low cost, portable, and easily maintainable and can be integrated with any complex health system. We have used the GNU health where local doctors can communicate with a low cost terminal. Expert doctors...
In daily life, people tend to use mobile networks for more accurate overall data. With intelligent mobile devices, almost all kinds of data can be collected automatically, which contributes directly to the blooming of eHealth. However, large amounts of data are also leading us into the era of big data, in which new data collection, transmission, and processing techniques are required. To ensure ubiquitous...
Disasters are inevitable aspects of the human civilization and the limitation of extending the medical infrastructure to every corner of the demography is a challenging task. Technology can cater to need of the availability of medical expertise for each affected individual in the disaster virtually. A medical infrastructure can be envisioned using existing LAN and WAN communication technology standards...
This paper presents a system that is able to monitor the patient vital signs (Heart Rate, SPO2, NIBP, ECG, temperature and respiration rate) and send them continuously to the doctor's android phone device. The system enables multiple patients to be connected to the same doctor. Within the system, the health care professional may activate/deactivate any of the vital signs sensors. He can also set a...
Cardiovascular disease (coronary heart, high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia, and other cardio/vascular problems) is one of the main death cause in the world. In developing country like Indonesia, the situation is worse due to lack of physicians to serve the patients. Based on these facts, we need new innovations to improve the life expectancy of cardiovascular disease patients, with help of machine-to-machine...
Distributed wireless sensor network technologies have become one of the major research areas in healthcare industries due to rapid maturity in improving the quality of life. Medical Wireless Sensor Network (MWSN) via continuous monitoring of vital health parameters over a long period of time can enable physicians to make more accurate diagnosis and provide better treatment. The MWSNs provide the options...
The unprecedented urbanization of the past decades has not only led to the introduction of the concept of smart cities, but has simultaneously made them a necessity. By converting our cities into smart ones, we enable future generations to live in a friendly and sustainable environment. Within smart cities, the wide deployment of sensors allows the interaction of citizens with city infrastructures...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have attracted much interest in the last decade. It opened a new range of applications such as large area monitoring including environmental monitoring, wildlife exploration, and real time patient medical data which is collected by using wireless sensors. The WSN provides the options of flexibilities and cost saving for patients and healthcare industries. At the same...
Measurements of vital signs can be translated into accurate predictors of pregnant diseases, even at an early stage. They can also be combined with alarm-triggering systems to initiate the appropriate actions. Because of the emphasis on healthcare awareness and their specific needs, gravidae prefer regular vital signs monitoring in a flexible manner. Thus, different types of sensors are used that...
This paper aims to propose an evaluation and a comparison of health-monitoring platforms based on wireless body area network (WBAN). We focused on the main concept behind these platforms individually as well as we classified these platforms based on the provided solutions and their main features. Important considerations in designing WBAN platforms are discussed as well. The main conclusion is that...
The focus of this project is to study the design of a cyber-physical interface for automated vital sign readings in Electronic Medical Record Systems. This is presented as a solution for a need in actual EMR systems where the reading of vital signs is done manually which is error prone and time consuming. The domain application knowledge and prototype used for the development of this paper is made...
