Next generation remote critical care through service-oriented architectures: challenges and opportunities

Abstract

Health care providers and governments are under pressure to maintain and improve the quality of care to an increasing volume of critical care patients at either end of the life cycle, namely premature and ill term babies together with the elderly. The provision of a service of critical care utilizing real time service-oriented architectures has the potential to enable clinicians to be supported in the care of a greater number patients that are, perhaps more importantly, located elsewhere to their intensive care units. This paper presents a review of recent research in the application of computing and IT to support the service of critical care and determines the trends and challenges for the application of real time serviceoriented architectures within the domain. It then presents some case study-based research on the design of a serviceoriented architecture-based approach to support two aspects of critical care namely elderly care and neonatal intensive care to provide further context to trends and opportunities.

Family Health Monitoring System Based on the Four Sessions Internet of Things

“…Third step, calculate the parameters of the value of the variable at and bt; Fourth step, calculate the trend predict values according to (4) and (2); Fifth step, the system obtains a new value and compares it with the predicted value and the new value is used as the new sample data, return to the first step to continue to run.…”

“…The hospital check can provide you a comprehensive and reliable result, and the doctor can give a clear explanation of the indicators, but the hospital examination always takes a long time with complex procedure, expensive fees and other defects. Own instruments detect, for example, to buy their own electronic sphygmomanometer blood pressure testing, the method is simple but the test results can not get professional doctors' explanation so that the single test results do not have statistical properties and can not give warning in time when physical condition shows red light [4].…”

A Household Fetal ECG Monitoring System Based on Cloud Computing

“…The advantages of a pervasive health information system is evident to those who require long-term monitoring but often reside in remote non-clinical environment and have difficulty taking part in frequent therapy sessions [2]. Usually, pregnant women require attending regular check-up 2-3 times a week to assess the fetal well-being.…”
