“…Further, we believe that this type of patient education is suitable for countries with high rates of smartphone use, such as Taiwan. 29 Our study has several limitations. First, this was a retrospective observational study, rather than a randomized controlled trial; therefore, there may be some selection and recall bias, which could potentially impact the reporting of the severity of DJ-related symptoms between program-users and non-users.…”

Objective This study examines the potential benefit of an interactive counselling program via a mobile application (app), which can instantly provide patients with the necessary information and correct response regarding their condition. Methods We designed a free ‘Ureteric Stent Interactive Program’ for patients receiving ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy and provided the program to interested patients. Patient data were collected from medical records and depending on whether patients used our program, they were divided into two groups: ‘program-user’ and ‘non-user’. The differences between the groups were analysed using Fisher’s exact tests. Results Of the 70 patients, 50 elected to use the program. The program-user group was significantly younger (<60 years: 74% vs 15%, P<0.001) and had higher education levels (40% vs 5%, P = 0.004). All 50 patients in the program-user group reported being satisfied (32%) or very satisfied (68%) with the program. Patients over 60 years were significantly more satisfied with program (35.5% vs 6.3%, P = 0.04). Conclusions Younger patients with high education levels were more likely to use the app and improve their health knowledge. Using the program resulted in high satisfaction, especially among older patients. This study demonstrates the benefits of interactive application for educating patients regarding their health.

“…Firstly, a massive amount of data is generated. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), there are more than 7.5 billion mobile devices around the world in 2017 [15], and the number of mobile devices is expected to increase to 25 billion by 2020 [16], contributing to ultra-dense networks. Consequently, there is an explosive growth in the amount of data from 16.5 exabytes in 2014 to an estimate of 500 exabytes in 2020 [17], contributing to a growth rate of 30 times.…”

Edge Computing in 5G: A Review

2019

5G is the next generation cellular network that aspires to achieve substantial improvement on quality of service, such as higher throughput and lower latency. Edge computing is an emerging technology that enables the evolution to 5G by bringing cloud capabilities near to the end users (or user equipment, UEs) in order to overcome the intrinsic problems of the traditional cloud, such as high latency and the lack of security. In this paper, we establish a taxonomy of edge computing in 5G, which gives an overview of existing state-of-the-art solutions of edge computing in 5G on the basis of objectives, computational platforms, attributes, 5G functions, performance measures, and roles. We also present other important aspects, including the key requirements for its successful deployment in 5G and the applications of edge computing in 5G. Then, we explore, highlight, and categorize recent advancements in edge computing for 5G. By doing so, we reveal the salient features of different edge computing paradigms for 5G. Finally, open research issues are outlined.
