With so many health problems prevalent in today's world, maintaining personal health should be of great importance. While the number of patients is large, the number of doctors is relatively small. As a result, diagnosis is delayed and some patients are neglected. This increases the patient's confidence in the doctor for regular checkups. With all these issues in mind, healthcare systems are starting to connect to the IoT to maintain a digital identity for each patient. Many health problems are undiagnosed in the healthcare sector due to a shortage of doctors/caregivers and lack of access to healthcare. On the other hand, these IoT-based medical systems allow patients and doctors to continuously monitor and easily analyze patient data. This article provides an overview of the role of the Internet of Things in healthcare related to pandemic disease COVID-19.

IWCMC Invited Talk for the E-5G PresentationJunaid Qadir
The unprecedented rapid adoption of mobile technology has motivated great interest in using mobile technology for health (mHealth). Bolstering the mHealth promise are three important trends: Firstly, big data—through which there has been unprecedented commoditization and opening up of data through the instrumentation of modern phones and environments (e.g., using the native sensors in mobile phones or using embedded devices in the so-called Internet of Things). This opens up the opportunity of collecting individual level ``small data’’ that can be used to provide personalized healthcare. Secondly, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) advances have democratized diagnostic capabilities to some extent and further significant improvement is expected. With advances in computational capabilities of mobile phones, and with resource augmentation from clouds, it will be possible to support data and computation intensive mHealth applications. Finally, high-performance communication (e.g., high throughput and low latency) capabilities can change the landscape of healthcare in terms of operational efficiency and accuracy and enable a range of telehealth services. In this talk, we will present the research agenda for bringing the 5G-Enabled Health Revolution.

It describes how technologies like IoT, AI, and machine learning can help create innovative healthcare systems that are more personalized and less reliant on traditional institutions. It also summarizes recent literature on areas like healthcare monitoring devices, AI/ML applications, and challenges/directions in ambient assisted living. In particular, it explores how smart healthcare systems using wearable sensors and mobile apps can provide affordable remote monitoring and early disease detection.
The document discusses the EU legislative framework for e-health and m-health. It summarizes key EU actions and documents that aim to develop interoperability of e-health systems across borders, ensure patient identification and data protection, and support increased use of telemedicine and mobile health technologies. Issues around legal classification of m-health apps and ensuring security of big data are also addressed.
This document presents the European Commission's eHealth Action Plan for 2012-2020. It aims to address barriers that have prevented wider adoption of eHealth across Europe. The plan has four main objectives: 1) Achieving wider interoperability of eHealth services through standards and guidelines. 2) Supporting eHealth research, development and innovation. 3) Facilitating broader eHealth deployment. 4) Promoting international eHealth cooperation. The vision is for eHealth to help manage chronic diseases, increase health system efficiency through citizen-centric care, and foster cross-border healthcare in Europe.

1) As the population ages in Europe, there will be fewer working people supporting more retired people, straining social welfare systems. ICT has potential to help older adults stay active and productive for longer.
2) While over half of current older workers use computers at work, less than half use the internet. Computer experience at work significantly increases later computer use after retirement.
3) Barriers to ICT use among older adults include age-related physical impairments, lack of ICT skills, ageing needs not addressed in products, and fragmented markets and policies. The EU has action plans to promote ICT for active ageing.
The document discusses the potential benefits of eHealth (ICT for health) in Europe. It notes that while the health sector employs over 9% of the EU workforce, ICT penetration in health is relatively low compared to other sectors. eHealth can improve efficiency and productivity, support chronic disease management and preventive care, and empower patients. The EU is a world leader in deploying ICT in primary care settings. Further development of eHealth requires addressing issues like interoperability, business models, and research into areas like personalized medicine.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.

This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.
