Intelligent multi-dose medication controller for fever: From wearable devices to remote dispensers

Abstract

In this work, an Intelligent Medication Controller which analyzes the data streams from body temperature provided by a wearable device is proposed in order to dispense in a low-cost remote dispenser installed at home. The main innovation of our approach is a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis based on the successful fuzzy linguistic approach and fuzzy logic. This analysis provides accuracy and adherence to patient fever in the decision making of medication intakes, adequating the doses and waiting time based on previous intakes. In order to show its efficiency, a case study is presented, in which a complete range of fever episodes is analyzed to compare the decision making in medication intakes of antipyretics between the human expert and the proposed Intelligent Medication Controller. Our proposal has obtained an encouraging performance when recommending medication intakes in a flexible way and assuring a secure response for contraindication cases.

Research on the application of health management model based on the perspective of mobile health

“…Medical staff showed great interest and enthusiasm for mobile medicine [13] . The health network of chronic disease management is constructed, and the interactive information service platform of doctors and patients is realized.…”

An IoT-based framework for early identification and monitoring of COVID-19 cases

“…There are several biosensors available to detect these symptoms. For instance, temperature-based sensors can be used for the detection of Fever [ 23 ]. Cough and its classifications for different ages can be detected using audio-based sensors with acoustic and aerodynamic models [ 24 ].…”

Fuzzy Linguistic Protoforms to Summarize Heart Rate Streams of Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease

“…Both IoT paradigm and fuzzy linguistic models have been successfully proposed for managing uncertainty and vagueness in an interpretable way, which is a key issue to obtain high performance and results [10]. So, the use of protoforms and fuzzy logic has provided brilliant results in IoT systems in multiple areas with sensor data streams, such as weather forecasting [11], predicting of demand for urgent care in smart cities [12], fever medication control [13], visual scenes [14], or monitoring of patients with preeclampsia in wearable devices [15]. So, the fuzzy logic has been demonstrated as 2 Complexity a useful tool to deal with the uncertainty in the complex Internet of Things systems.…”
