“…E-Health systems can provide multi-sensor analysis and data fusion, making possible assertive inferences from the evaluation of biomedical parameters. It directly impacts the health field, mainly in domestic situations that demand simultaneous sensors and support for wireless communication [ 10 , 14 ]. Paralleling, continuous medical assistance, and wearable devices have become crucial for monitoring patients undergoing treatment (or monitoring diseases) and athletes during training sessions, based on portable and mobile devices (known as m-health devices, illustrated in Figure 4 ).…”

“…The advancement of such devices, associated with the increase in Internet of Things (IoT) applications, converges to the concept of electronic healthcare (e-Health). E-Health is the use of electronic devices usually placed or carried next to the patient’s body for collecting and transmitting data to be accessed remotely [ 10 ]. With the popularization of Industry 4.0, similarly, the Health 4.0 concept seeks to facilitate the progressive virtualization of individuals, medical devices, and processes for customized online health based on cloud computing [ 8 , 11 , 12 ].…”

The use of wearable equipment and sensing devices to monitor physical activities, whether for well-being, sports monitoring, or medical rehabilitation, has expanded rapidly due to the evolution of sensing techniques, cheaper integrated circuits, and the development of connectivity technologies. In this scenario, this paper presents a state-of-the-art review of sensors and systems for rehabilitation and health monitoring. Although we know the increasing importance of data processing techniques, our focus was on analyzing the implementation of sensors and biomedical applications. Although many themes overlap, we organized this review based on three groups: Sensors in Healthcare, Home Medical Assistance, and Continuous Health Monitoring; Systems and Sensors in Physical Rehabilitation; and Assistive Systems.

“…Application of the 4.0 toolset in medicine has been characterized as ‘Health 4.0’ by some [33] but encompasses many related narratives around the use of the IOT in medical care. These approaches tend to focus on the patient in a hospital or other clinical setting, optimizing and tailoring treatment for better clinical outcomes, and to stabilize a stretched healthcare system.…”

Western developed health and care policy is shifting from a patriarchal medical model to a co-managed and integrated approach. Meanwhile, the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) is transforming manufacturing in line with the digital consumer revolution. Digital health and care initiatives are beginning to use some of the same capabilities to optimize healthcare provision. However, this is usually limited to self-management as part of an organization-centric delivery model. True co-management and integration with other organizations and people is difficult because it requires formal care organizations to share control and extend trust. Through a co-design lens, this paper discusses a more person-centered application of Industry 4.0 capabilities for care. It introduces ‘Care 4.0’, a new paradigm that could change the way people develop digital health and care services, focusing on trusted, integrated networks of organizations, people and technologies. These networks and tools would help people co-manage and use their own assets, in the context of their own care circle and community. It would enable personalized services that are more responsive to care needs and aspirations, offering preventative approaches that ultimately create a more flexible and sustainable set of integrated health and social care services that support meaningful engagement and interactions.

“…Steps have been taken towards an increasing focus on the patient. Management models have been steadily implemented which have given an increasingly direct connectivity with the patient; some examples include telemedicine, electronic clinical history and the Health 4.0 phenomena [ 1 ]. Moreover, regulatory measures are being put in place to deal with a contracting economy and an ageing population, where the number of chronic patients is continually increasing.…”

The main aim of this paper was two-fold: first, to design a participative methodology that facilitates lean management implementation in healthcare by adopting the action research approach; second, to illustrate the usefulness of this methodology by applying it to the sleep unit of a public hospital in Spain. This methodology proposes the implementation of lean management in its broadest sense: adopting both lean principles and some of its practical tools or practices in order to achieve competitive advantage. The complete service value chain was considered when introducing changes through lean management implementation. This implementation involved training and involving staff in the project (personnel pillar), detecting and analysing “waste” in value chain processes (processes pillar) and establishing control and measurement mechanisms in line with objectives (key performance indicators pillar) and putting in place improvement actions to achieve these objectives. The application of this methodology brought about an improvement in the management of patient flow in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and quality but also an internal transformation towards lean culture.
