Sensor networks have become increasingly popular in healthcare due to the widespread use of cell phones and accessories capable of capturing medical data and the growth of remote patient monitoring initiatives. Medical data captured by sensors are sensitive and require the guarantee of authenticity, confidentiality, and privacy in the context of the Brazilian regulations, according to "Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados" (LGPD). Besides, the management and guarantee of medical data interoperability depend on the use of syntax and semantics following international standards. Therefore, the cloud computing and the Internet of Things are enabling tools for digital technologies to improve patient care. In this chapter, we present and discuss sensor networks' main concepts and the collection, processing, and protection of data from sensitive medical data. Resumo As redes de sensores têm se tornado cada vez mais populares na área de saúde devido à ampla disseminação dos celulares e acessórios aptos a captar dados médicos e ao crescimento de iniciativas de monitoramento remoto de pacientes. Dados médicos são considerados dados sensíveis e como tal requerem a garantia de autenticidade, confidencialidade e privacidade no contexto da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD). Paralelamente, a gerência e garantia de interoperabilidade de dados médicos dependem do uso de sintaxe e semânticas de acordo com padronizações internacionais. Assim, a utilização da computação em nuvem e a Internet das Coisas são facilitadores para o desenvolvimento de tecnologias digitais para melhorar o atendimento ao paciente. Considerando esse cenário, este capítulo apresenta e discute os principais conceitos relacionados às redes de sensores e à coleta, tratamento e proteção de dados de médicos sensíveis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
