Among the wide and impressive range of applications enabled by Internet technology, IOT remains smart and interactive health care systems that are especially important for gathering rich information about our mental and physical health. The sensors in IOT are used either on the body or in the surrounding environment, by integrating mobile technology into IOT-based health care systems; the interactive care system can be transformed into a preventive and effective health system. In this context, the IOT-based health care system calculates the severity of the student's illness by predicting the potential disease by extracting and deriving health measurements collected from medical devices and other IOT devices. In order to effectively analyze student health care data, a smart health care system was designed for students. In our case study, a set of data and characteristics for each case of disease were included. This data is further analyzed to verify the image of the model, using different classification algorithms and then calculating the results based on accuracy, sensitivity, privacy and response time. Moreover, the proposed methodology effective in decisionmaking by providing sensitive information to the time-based care or specialist doctor on time. Finally, the system presents the results of the diagnosis to the list of data again to make a centralized feedback and an update and use later.

Caregivers of patient with dementia often called the invisible second patients. The effects of being a caregiver, though sometimes positive, are generally negative, with high rates of burden and psychological morbidity as well as social isolation. Purpose of the study: was to assess caregivers' needs and problems toward care of patients with dementia. Design: A descriptive research design was utilized. Setting: The present study conducted at out-patient clinic of Alkhanka Mental Health Hospital. Sampling: Simple random sample used in the study and total number of the sample was 150 caregivers who had patients (≥ 50 yrs) having dementia. Instruments: Two instruments were used. 1 Structured interviewing questionnaire. It contained 5 parts (A. Socio-demographic characteristic of demented patient, B. Sociodemographic characteristic of caregivers, C. Caregivers' knowledge about dementia, D.Caregivers' needs and problems. E. Caregivers' reported practice). 2 An Attitude rating scale and Burden scale. Results: Female caregivers of demented patients were more than males, 49.3% of caregivers had average knowledge, 52.7% of them had satisfactory practice, 70.7% of caregivers had positive attitude and 50.7% had moderate burden. Conclusion: Caregivers of demented patients have financial, physical and psychological problems. Needs of caregivers of demented patients are financial, social, emotional, physical and personal needs. There was highly statistical significant positive relation between total knowledge of caregivers and their total needs. There was a highly statistical significant positive relation between total practices of caregivers and their total needs as well as problems. Also, there was a positive statistical significant relation between total attitude of caregivers and their total needs. Recommendation: Increase awareness of caregivers about community resources and how to gain access to them through mass-media, develop a health educational program for caregivers in neuro-psychiatric out-patient clinic to provide them with needed knowledge about disease process, therapeutic activities and positive behavior interaction.
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.
