The system combines the wireless communication technology and medical sensor detection technology, to realize the remote medical monitoring of multiple physiological parameters. As the basis of the Android platform, the mobile health platform construct a health report with physical examination, health guidance for every members in family. After using the corresponding physiological data acquisition...
In this paper we propose a three-layered architecture for the implementation of cloud-based health monitoring system that utilizes ubiquitous commercial health measuring devices. The main advantage of such a solution over the solutions that use proprietary medical hardware is the availability and the number of existing health devices and also relying on the expertise of their vendors. We also identify...
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is a key element in improving the senior's lifestyle and in increasing their independence along with their quality of life. AAL implementation through ICT is a trending research area, especially in the remote monitoring field. One of the biggest issues of the monitoring systems is how they fit into the healthcare system of another country than the country of origin. In...
Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that considers the pervasive presence of things or objects/equipment that communicate through wireless, cable connections and can interact with each other and can collaborate with other things or objects, to create new services and medical applications in order to achieve common objectives (diagnosis, treatment, patient rehabilitation). Considering that the Android...
Nowadays, a new generation of Health Information systems (HIS) called e-health is developing. Health-related equipment can be defined as electronic devices that are able to be implanted in the patient's body to help his health state. Insulin pump and pacemaker device are some instances of such equipment. Most of the patients who use these devices do not have much technical knowledge. Therefore, these...
With the mutual understanding of the concepts and terms and the semantic relationship, Interaction and integration between health systems, decision support systems can be easily done. Ontology is one way of overcoming the problems of interoperability. Ontology is a formal explicit description of concepts in a special domain. In this article, to review the application and effectiveness of Ontologies...
Thousands of people die every year because of cancer due to limitation of medical sources and unable to use the existing sources effectively. Loss of patients can be reduced by using the numerical (quantitative) techniques in the system of Medical and Health. Cancer is a genetic disease which is developed by the abnormal cell increase and cell growth as a result of DNA damage and cells being out of...
The basic condition to successful in health information management is précis and regulation assembling of information and sent of them in optimal situation to decision and policy making. This is a descriptive study which was conducted in 2008. Population research was 3 levels of Health System of Qazvin. By targeted sampling; 10 Health Houses, 5 Rural Health Centers and Shahid Bolandian Health Center...
In 2003 the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) and a local Australian company, Industrea Ltd., initiated a research project aiming to create a simple low cost health and usage monitoring system (HUMS), now called SmartHUMS. This paper discusses the development of SmartHUMS technology including hardware and software aspects and possible applications. The design and manufacture of the...
All systems including health systems may be described in terms of processes that convert inputs to valued outputs. 'Management processes' set the strategy for 'demand/supply processes' which address health priority needs for quality of care services delivered via 'implementation processes'. These systems are very complex. Management processes involve many different perspectives, dimensions, objectives...
Strategic deployment of information communiction technology in health systems is promising to ensure reducing medical cost, enhanced medical treatment-quality and to serve the underserved population. International medical cooperation has served both developed and developing nations to overcome technological and social barriers in e-health deployment in many ways. However, most of the past e-health...
Chinese and Western medicines have a different understanding and approach to life, health, and illness - joining their complementary work and support them by an advanced information technology could result in an improved health system. The Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Measurement (NIGM) Service is a grid based implementation of a novel non-invasive method for measuring human blood glucose values exploiting...
The World Health Organization, in its World Health Report 2000 - Health Systems: Improving Performance said, ldquoThe U.S. health system spends a higher portion of its gross domestic product than any other country but ranks 37 out of 191 countries according to its performance...rdquo National Institute of Health (NIH) established the Common Fund in 2004 to advance interdisciplinary research across...
The University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine is seeking ways to improve its system for conducting Translational Research (TR), in order to improve its proposal for a National Institute of Health (NIH) Clinical & Translational Science Award (CTSA), a grant designed to guide medical research institutions throughout the USA into transforming their approaches to conducting TR. To that end,...
Telemedicine is a general term which is used to define various aspects of health care at a distance. Also, telemedicine can be defined as the use of telecommunication technologies to provide medical services. The key aspect of telemedicine is the use of electronic signals to transfer information from one place to another. Since the invention of the telephone, medical practitioners have employed electronic...
For many years the health system has been involved in changes focused on the patient. A recent law stated that patients must be informed to take part in medical decisions. Generally, the medical staff and the patients share medical knowledge; in this study our question is how and why to share the experience with the patient. Our work concerns the identification of empowerment criterions; it has been...
In order to aid planning and procurement of equipment needed within a newly reorganized health system, databases for products manufactured in Brazil have been developed. They incorporate information on local manufacturers, equipment produced, prices, technical specifications, and clinical applications, all referenced by a standard nomenclature and coding system derived from the IMDC (International...
The first formal and very small program on bioengineering was organized by Universidad Nacional de Tucuman in 1974. Currently, it provides two courses, laboratory practice, and a final project. There is also a research and development program. In 1985, the Universidad Nacional de Entre Rios established the first systematic undergraduate program in bioengineering leading to the degree of bioengineer...
