OHMS allows physicians to perform continuous monitoring of elderly patients through a distributed system of personalized and synchronized XML profiles. This solution ensures that information accessed by both elderly and physician clients is always up-to-date by validating updates through a communication channel using web services and OSGi architecture. The health profile contains medical history, medications, sensor measurements, and protocols to manage this information based on a user's health conditions. OHMS was tested in European pilots to assess its ability to monitor users and react appropriately to emergency situations or medication changes based on profile information.
The SENSACTION-AAL project aimed to assist older adults in maintaining independent mobility and reducing fall injuries through physical activity interventions using wearable sensors. It developed three main applications: a virtual trainer for home rehabilitation exercises providing audio feedback, a smart monitor for tracking daily mobility, and a remote assistant for detecting falls and alerting caregivers. An initial clinical trial with 18 older adults found the system feasible and that it increased adherence to exercises, awareness, and reduced falls. However, further validation is still needed including improved methods for simulating falls versus detecting real falls.

A framework for secure healthcare systems based on big data analytics in mobi...ijasa
In this paper we introduce a framework for Healthcare Information Systems (HISs) based on big data
analytics in mobile cloud computing environments. This framework provides a high level of integration,
interoperability, availability and sharing of healthcare data among healthcare providers, patients, and
practitioners. Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) of patients dispersed among different Care Delivery
Organizations (CDOs) are integrated and stored in the Cloud storage area, this creates an Electronic
Health Records (EHRs) for each patient. Mobile Cloud allows fast Internet access and provision of EHRs
from anywhere and at any time via different platforms. Due to the massive size of healthcare data, the
exponential increase in the speed in which this data is generated and the complexity of healthcare data
type, the proposed framework employs big data analytics to find useful insights that help practitioners take
critical decisions in the right time. In addition, our proposed framework applies a set of security
constraints and access control that guarantee integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of medical information.
We believe that the proposed framework paves the way for a new generation of lower cost, more efficient
healthcare systems.
Information technology is increasingly being used in healthcare at all levels of the community. Recent times have seen many nursing education programs offered online. There are two main types of online education - store and forward which transfers information between locations, and face-to-face programs using video conferencing. Technologies like email, digital photography, teleradiology, telepathology, and videoconferencing allow for fast, reliable, and economical communication of health information worldwide. These technologies make sharing images and data easier and reduce costs while increasing access to specialty care for rural populations. However, there are also challenges to greater telehealth adoption like physician licensing across borders and lack of infrastructure in some rural areas.
Sting Stigma Eradication Application forms the lifetime of fighting Stigma related to HIV/AIDS in Kenya and other developing countries in Africa. However, through this project there is remarkable improvement in approach of dealing with people affected or infected by HIV. It is therefore a turning point to a long journey of fighting the diseases in the entire continent. The IT initiative has encouraged various organizations to develop systems to facilitate their day to day operations. SSEA incorporates various modules for automating service delivery and enhancing communication between the concerned parties and thus help in saving time and operations thus increasing efficiency. The purpose of this solution is to present the software engineering approach for development which focuses on the set of activities and associated results to develop a Sting Stigma Eradication Application meant to perform some of services delivery necessary for individuals affected by HIV/AIDS automatically at their comfort by use of widely used technology, mobile and web technology.
Shared By The Many: Advances in technology are allowing for the provision of affordable, decentralized healthcare for the masses and are lowering the barriers to entry in less developed markets.
The analysis in PSFK’s Future of Health Report has yielded a number of insights, the most evident of which is mobile technology as a catalyst for change. The mobile phone and connected tablet computer are allowing for the distribution of a broad range of medical and support services. This is especially important in countries with little or no healthcare infrastructure and areas in which there are few trained healthcare professionals. These technologies also allow trained professionals to perform quality control remotely.
Amongst the many significant developments is a shift towards one-on-one, in- field diagnostics and monitoring. Services that were once only available at a doctor’s office or hospital are now available on-demand through low-tech, affordable solutions. Personal systems allow for ‘good enough’ diagnostics that would have been difficult, expensive and timely to attain previously.
Using a basic phone with adapted software, a health worker can test for myriad symptoms - even cancer. This information can be relayed to a central medical care center where doctors and trained professionals can react to the data, provide prompt diagnosis and suggest treatment options. The ability to capture this data and get quick responses remotely means better healthcare, fewer trips to the hospital (which, for many means days away from home and family), and less time away from work.
A change is also occurring that is seeing increased access to and sharing of health information. This is made possible by the proliferation of systems designed to overcome infrastructure insufficiencies. these systems are enabling the broadcast of information and receipt of subsequent feedback in virtually any setting. From ‘town crier’ systems to ‘internet by text’, the collective knowledge found on the web is being made available to populations around the world who previously lacked access. The connectivity that is enabling the sharing of health information is also powering the growth of social networks focused on health and medical care. These networks are allowing professionals, health workers and individuals to connect and share knowledge quickly.
PSFK’s Future of Health Report details 15 trends that will impact health and wellness around the world. Simple advances such as off-the-grid energy and the introduction of gaming into healthcare service offerings sit alongside more future-forward developments such as bio-medical printing. It is our hope that this report will inspire your thinking and lead to services, applications and technologies which will allow for more available, quality healthcare.

Evaluation of a clinical information system (cis)nikita024
This power point presentation provides an overview of a clinical information system (CIS). It discusses what a CIS is, how CIS have evolved, and the key players involved in designing CIS. It also examines the electronic health record component of a CIS and discusses the eight basic components that make up an EHR. Additional topics covered include clinical decision making systems, safety, costs, and education regarding CIS. The presentation was created by four students with each student covering specific slides and aspects of the topic.
Medical imaging is part of a changing medical environment, a changing
patient environment and consequently a new medical world. In the
recent decennium one of the most important changes in radiology is the
conversion from analogue to digital. In no time medical images have
become interchangeable through the digital highway and could be postprocessed
in a different location. Teleradiology has become a reality
since then. We have seen the maturation of commercial international
teleradiology companies offering a wide portfolio of services. Another
aspect is the availability of image data for all medical specialties beyond
radiology and beyond the regular medical disciplines. An increasing
number of surgical or oncological specialties and even pharmaceutical
companies increasingly use image data to prepare a strategy for
operative procedures, to choose the right therapy, to decide which
prosthesis to the best to use, for follow-up or for post-processing
purposes. They are supported by many new techniques and software.
An increasing number of medical computer applications such as complex
navigation and visualisation tools based upon digital images is already
in clinical use or under development. Another trend is the increasing
interest in E-health and telemedicine in Europe, also among European
policy makers. Now we see mobile health that brings care directly into
the patient environment. The purpose of this presentation is to give a
comprehensive overview of and insight into these new developments and
to create awareness among radiologists of the increasing importance of
integration of medical imaging in a multidisciplinary environment.
Computer systems and the internet have greatly improved healthcare in several ways:
1. Electronic medical records allow doctors to access complete patient histories instantly and share information between hospitals. Computerized prescriptions reduce errors.
2. Diagnostic tools like CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds can identify medical issues much faster and more accurately than before. Monitoring equipment keeps close tabs on patients' vital signs.
3. Treatments are also enhanced through robotics in surgery, pacemakers, ventilators, and prosthetics that can mimic natural limb movement. Online support groups and research databases help patients.
4. However, self-diagnosis online risks missing issues, and purchasing medications without a prescription
E-HEALTH BIOSENSOR PLATFORM FOR NONINVASIVE HEALTH MONITORING FOR THE ELDERLY...ijbesjournal
New technologies in the field of tele-health using biosensor systems for non-invasive vital signs monitoring of patients, especially elderly people who need long-term care, and marginalized areas with hard to reach health care services are emerging. A study involving a self-care approach within the cardiac domain, where late detection increases the likelihood of patient disability or of premature death is proposed. In the
study the application of e-health biosensors platform in medical services is experimented. The study resulted into the synthesis of vital signs from various body positions with biosensors that does not require a full coupled system. A model for the prevention of cardiovascular disease management based on noninvasive personal health monitoring systems with easy access for everybody, at any time or location is designed. A personal vital sign system such as ECG sensor which contain the functionality, allows recording anywhere and at any time a diagnostic quality ECG and analyzing it “on-board” by comparing it to a reference ECG, is modelled. The model called Mobile Health for the Elderly Persons (MOHELP)
which relies on with application in estimation and control of boolean processes based on noisy and incomplete measurements is designed. This enabled a reliable recommendation from a digital artificial intelligence-based diagnosis, which can support an elderly person to take timely and correct decisions upon his (her) health status. In a case of urgency, the assistant puts the elderly person in a contact with
healthcare providers. The signal pattern sensitivity related to sensors placement is one of the issues this study addressed using e-sensor platform. Sensors displacement errors have a direct impact on the medical diagnosis, especially if the diagnostic procedure is automated. The study resulted into the formulation of a methodology for e-Health Sensor Platform, in software architecture terms, that permits use of system
biosensors to adapt to the user-specific context for self-healthcare
1) Technologies like remote patient monitoring, telehealth, and smart home devices can help the elderly age in place preventively or supportively.
2) Technologies reduce reliance on healthcare workers by empowering patients and families through monitoring and early intervention.
3) Continuous remote patient monitoring platforms, mobile health records, telehealth, and smart home technologies improve care and reduce costs.
ICT has had a major impact on many aspects of healthcare including accessibility, costs, and quality of care. eHealth can provide improved access to services especially in remote areas, decrease costs by decentralizing care to lower-level facilities, and improve quality through technologies like telemedicine and remote monitoring of patients. As populations age, eHealth will be increasingly important to cope with rising healthcare needs and costs through home monitoring and telehealth. ICT also enhances medical education and training through e-learning and supports health promotion through online resources.
Healthcare and medicine are being revolutionized by communications and computational resources. Understanding how the convergence of these enabling technologies is advancing our ability to get and stay well is the topic of this presentation.
How Technology Encourages A Healthy Lifestylegrovedental
Modern health technology includes telemedicine, wearable fitness trackers, fitness apps, and smart devices. Telemedicine allows remote treatment, reducing costs and burden on hospitals. Wearable trackers and fitness apps provide accurate activity and sleep data to motivate healthy habits. Fewer than 3% of Americans meet a healthy lifestyle, and obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are widespread issues. However, technology encourages healthier choices through reminders, goal tracking, and progress sharing with doctors. The integration of consumer technology and digital healthcare records has potential for better health management.

Human heredity is determined by chromosomes, which are structures in the nucleus that contain genetic information passed down between generations. A karyotype maps out a person's entire set of chromosomes and can be used to identify genetic disorders. Traits are transmitted through dominant and recessive alleles, codominant alleles, sex-linked inheritance, and X chromosome inactivation. Some genetic disorders, like sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis, are caused by mutations in single genes, while others like Huntington's disease involve repetitive sequences in DNA. The Human Genome Project aimed to sequence and identify all human genes to better understand genetic disorders and advantages.
María Amparo Navarro - Serious Games for Dynamic Content and Advanced Enterta...WTHS
The document describes a digital entertainment platform and serious games for children that incorporate new technologies.

The document summarizes how a magazine review uses and does not use the codes and conventions of existing media texts. It uses a clear title of the reviewed movie, prominent quotes from the movie, a main photograph of an actor to promote their role, and a column layout to keep the text tidy and easy to read. However, it does not include multiple photographs as is typical and uses a single main image due to the color palette.
The short film, poster, and opening scene all featured the lead character, Jody, to clearly link the media texts together and maintain consistent continuity for the audience. The short film and poster used the same font to further show they were related, while the magazine review used a different font to appear independent from the film creators. The poster photograph was taken on the train from the film to give viewers insight without revealing too much of the plot, which centers around travel. Including the clip in the film allows audiences to recognize what the poster represents.

Mobile health (mHealth) holds great promise to transform healthcare through ubiquitous mobile technology, but faces challenges. Interest is growing as mobile subscriptions near 6 billion, yet healthcare systems remain hospital-centric and unsuited to modern needs. While expectations are high that mHealth can increase access and lower costs, most experts expect slow adoption due to healthcare's resistance to change and the need to prove solutions. Emerging markets may lead the way by leaping ahead through unmet needs and fewer entrenched interests slowing innovation.
Mobile health (mHealth) holds great promise to improve global healthcare through ubiquitous mobile technologies, but faces significant adoption challenges. Interest in mHealth is growing rapidly among patients, doctors, and payers based on its potential to increase access, quality and convenience of care. However, most experts expect widespread adoption to be slow due to healthcare's resistance to change and the need to develop solutions that appeal to all stakeholders. Emerging markets may lead the way by leaping ahead through unmet needs and fewer entrenched interests, while developed countries face disruptive changes to established systems and relationships. Innovators must navigate complex regulatory environments and focus on solving payers' problems through cost-effective services rather than technology alone.

--------------------------------------
Various personal health systems have been applied in pervasive health monitoring, in which the need for patient involvement and self-management support with appropriate health information management tools has been highlighted. This paper presents a novel approach towards constructing a personalized mobile system, introduced as add-on to existing remote monitoring systems, for the management of health information by the patient himself/herself, with a Personal Health Record (PHR) constituting the system backbone. Particular emphasis is given to interconnection aspects with the monitoring system, so as to enable enhanced customization and management of monitoring-driven information provided to the patients according to their requirements/preferences. Communication issues between the monitoring and the proposed system are handled by using well-defined Web service interfaces for data exchange. Our prototype implementation, along with an application scenario presented, illustrate the applicability and virtue of the current work.

La ciencia y la tecnología no tienen fronteras en un mundo global en el que están apareciendo innovaciones por todas partes. La eSalud tiene por vocación dar mejores servicios en el seno de los sistemas de salud. A pesar de las diferencias culturales, lingüísticas y de práctica de la medicina, el ser humano y la salud se convierten en lo mismo en todas partes. Las nuevas tecnologías permiten la comunicación rápida, la compartición de experiencias, el aprendizaje de las mejores prácticas y el contraste de resultados. Por eso la implementación de procesos de eSalud es un fenómeno de alcance local, pero su éxito depende del conocimiento global. Es por ello que cada vez hay más redes y organizaciones que facilitan la transferencia de conocimiento y el compilado de las mejores prácticas. El reto, pues, tanto para las organizaciones sanitarias como para las universidades y empresas innovadoras es lograr que las TICs, una vez probadas y homologadas, sean implementadas en los servicios de salud. Todo un reto tecnológico, legal, ético y financiero.
