Home telehealth by Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

Home based Telehealth is a combination of communications, imaging, sensing and human computer interaction technologies targeted at diagnosis, treatment and monitoring patients without disturbing the quality of lifestyle. This paper proposes development of a low cost medical sensing, communication and analytics device that is real-time monitoring internet enabled patients physiological conditions. Internet of Things (IoT) network will provide active and real-time engagement of patient, hospitals, caretaker and doctors. Massaging and synchronising the system has been the based focus in this paper, where it applies the suggested algorithm to predict the minimum time period that separates two consecutive bursts of messages and measures the minimum queue sizes for the health care personals nods, to manage the traffic and avoid the dropping of messages. NS2 simulator was employed to simulate the Telehealth environment algorithm

Internet of Medical Things (IOMT): Applications, Benefits and Future Challenges in Healthcare Domain

“…The main focus of his research is communication of messages and synchronization. Time minimizing algorithm is applied to keep separation between consecutive messages and measure the queue size for individual health care nods, to avoid conjunction [13].…”

Towards an Architecture to Guarantee Both Data Privacy and Utility in the First Phases of Digital Clinical Trials

“…This additional step helps to identify the potential participants who will meet key criteria. The authors in [140] propose an architecture to collect and process health data produced by specialized IoT devices. Their approach uses a centralized structure with an added privacy-preserving and security enforcement module at the edges.…”

Kajian Tekno-Ekonomi pada Telehealth di Indonesia [Techno-Economic Study on Telehealth in Indonesia]

“…Karakteristik layanan telehealth di masa mendatang dengan menggunakan teknologi IoT yaitu menyediakan akses terhadap data rekam medis elektronik untuk menambah informasi dan memberikan diagnosis serta mendukung pengambilan keputusan, menggunakan seluruh data pasien yang relevan dari sistem informasi kesehatan dan mendukung kolaborasi dari berbagai sumber perangkat kesehatan (Gerdes, Reichert, Nytun, & Fensli, 2016). Manfaat yang dapat dihasilkan Internet of Things dalam sektor kesehatan antara lain (Al-Majeed, Al-Mejibli, & Karam, 2015) : Menurunkan biaya; meningkatkan hasil pengobatan; mengurangi kesalahan; meningkatkan pengalaman pasien; menyempurnakan penatalaksanaan obat-obatan; dan peningkatan manajemen penyakit. Dengan potensi manfaat IoT di sektor kesehatan yang cukup besar, maka implementasi telehealth dapat menjadi inisiasi program peningkatan sektor kesehatan untuk mempersiapkan negara dalam menyiapkan infrastruktur dan mengatur seluruh aspek yang mendukung telehealth, sehingga penerapan IoT beberapa tahun mendatang akan semakin mulus.…”
