As a result of ageing population, increasing demand and evolving technology on healthcare systems, the progress in the Internet of Things (IoT) has a key role in suppressing all these needs, in particular, redesigning modern health care with promising technological, economic and social prospects. This paper attempts to comprehensively review the current research and development on the impact of IoT in Healthcare. Relying on a comprehensive literature review, this paper analyses the architecture of an IoT-based systems, focusing on the main components and their value to the overall system. In addition, a perspective on electronic health records and on privacy and security issues are overviewed, along with the review of clinical cases of IoT-based systems. Given IoT clear acceptability and affordability among youngers and elders, combined to a broad range of devices and machine learning techniques, it’s expected these devices will facilitate in many ways health providers’ job, as long as other topics like data protection keep side-by-side.

IoT is reinventing the healthcare industry by upgrading the treatment process. It enables healthcare professionals to become more proactive and deliver an advanced set of patient care.
This post overlooks the benefits of IoT and its impact on the healthcare industry.
Sensors, Wearables and Internet of Things - The Dawn of the Smart EraSoftweb Solutions
IoT, Sensors, Wearables are having a huge impact on various areas including manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and logistics by bringing together data, people, process, and things. Visit http://www.softwebsolutions.com/internet-of-things-applications.html for details.

From The Guardian to Cisco, big business to small, it seems that everybody is talking about the Internet of Things — but what exactly is IoT and why does it matter?
Taking a deep dive, we explore the many faces of IoT in Healthcare. Technology research and advisory company, Gartner, currently place the Internet of Things at the peak of inflated expectations and there are certainly challenges. But IoT also holds real promise for healthcare and it is already making an impact today.
We demonstrate why the Internet of Things has a far reaching impact across all determinants of health and how it could lead to a broader model of healthcare. We look at some of the technologies that are available to buy or that are already in development today, whilst also exploring some of the very real challenges that integrating such technologies into healthcare presents. Finally, we offer some ideas about how you can get involved, whether you are a healthcare professional or not.
A smart hospital is a hospital that relies on optimized and automated processes built on an Information and communication technologies environment (ICT) of interconnected assets, particularly based on Internet of things (IoT), to improve existing patient care procedures and introduce new capabilities.
With rapid development of economies, growth of aging population and the prevalence of chronic diseases across the world, there is an urgent need to find new ways to improve patient outcomes, increase access to care, and reduce the cost of medical care. A health care monitoring system is necessary to constantly monitor patient’s physiological parameters. The tele-medical system focuses on the measurement and evaluation of vital parameters e.g. temperature, electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate variability, fall detection etc. This will enable doctors and care givers to observe patients without having to be physically present at their bedside, be it in the hospital or in their home.
During treatment, it is highly important to continuously monitor the vital physiological signs of the patient. Therefore , patient monitoring systems has always been occupying a very important position in the field of medical devices.
The continuous improvement of technologies not only helps us transmit the vital physiological signs to the medical personnel but also simplifies the measurement and as a result raises the monitoring efficiency of patients.
The healthcare ecosystem is witnessing a huge transformation lately; propelled by improved care and patient outcomes as the critical drivers. Briefly put, organizations (providers, hospitals and all) are leveraging the potential of Internet of Things, to empower their people, patients to take control of their own health. In a subtle way, redefining the way people, sensors, apps, devices and wearables can interact with each other in a secure environment, and take the healthcare experience to the next level.
A recent survey by Forrester Consulting suggests 90% of the Healthcare IT departments are ready to adapt IoT based solutions. And, 52% of the surveyed respondents are already incorporating IoT technology.
With IoT as a powerful enabler, innovative apps and wearables are taking strong roots in the healthcare ecosystem; health bands, fitness devices, calorie meters, heart rate monitors, to name a few. Such healthcare devices are used by physicians to record patient’s biometric information as they deliver exceptional patient monitoring and management results on-the-go.
This is a advance technology for the checkup of the patient by the doctor. IN this there is a microcontroller whis encode all the sensor data and display on lcd screen and also send to gsm module by this all the pateint psychological data send to mobile in the form of sms .
Now-a-days, a growing number of people in a developing countries like India forces to look for new solutions for the continuous monitoring of health check-up. It has become a necessity to visit hospitals frequently for doctor’s consultation, which has become financially related and a time consuming process. To overcome this situation, we propose a design to monitor the patient’s health conditions such as heart beat, temperature, ECG and BP and send the message to guardian using GSM. In the recent development of internet of things(IoT) makes all objects interconnected and been recognized as the next technical revolution. Patient monitoring is one of the IoT application to monitor the patient health status. Internet of things makes medical equipments more efficient by allowing real time monitoring of health. Using IoT doctor can continuously monitor the patient’s on his smart phone and also the patient history will be stored on the web server and doctor can access the information whenever needed from anywhere.

The Myth of Health Data Integration ComplexityShahid Shah
At Health:Refactored (San Francisco) I presented a practical and technical look at why current health IT systems integrate poorly and how we can fix it.
OSEHRA Summit 2012 Lunch Keynote: Current health IT systems integrate poorly ...Shahid Shah
OSEHRA Summit 2012 Lunch Keynote - The Myth of Health Data Integration Complexity. This is an opinionated look at why current health IT systems integrate poorly and how it’s a big opportunity for the OSEHRA Community.
Background:
* A deluge of healthcare data is being created as we digitize biology, chemistry, and physics.
* Data changes the questions we ask and it can actually democratize and improve the science of medicine, if we let it.
* While cures are the only real miracles of medicine, big data can help solve intractable problems and lead to more cures.
* Healthcare-focused software engineering is going to do more harm than good (industry-neutral is better).
Key takeaways:
* Major opportunity for systems integrators
* Applications come and go, data lives forever. He who owns, integrates, and uses data wins in the end.
* Never leave your data in the hands of an application/system vendor.
* There’s nothing special about health IT data that justifies complex, expensive, or special technology.
* Spend freely on multiple systems and integration-friendly solutions.

HealthCursor Consulting Group India- Distribution and Marketing- Mobile network operators in Africa have identified the growing demand for financial services and micro insurance . Airtel Africa has partnered with MicroEnsure for Mobile Micro Insurance. The range of Airtel-branded insurance products includes life, accident, health, agriculture, and other forms of cover.
Connecting intermediaries, customers and surveyors- ICICI Lombard India's mobile initiative started simply enough, with a set of basic applications that gave customers a consolidated view of all their policies, a reminder service to renew a policy, and a way to track the status of a claim. But as they matured with the mobile platform, they re-visited the paradigm and devised new ways to provide customers with more value-added and user-friendly features. This is however restricted to Auto insurance only.
Encryption, Transactions and handling customer grievance- Public sector general insurance company United India Insurance launched a mobile-based real-time fund transfer facility for payment of premium. M-Power enables customers to renew their policies and also remit the premium for approved proposals. To use this facility, one has to get an MMID (an identification number called - mobile money identifier) from his/her bank and enable one’s mobile with the application given by the bank. However, there are only 10 banks on board with this platform. This initiative follows the launch of its Internet-based sales, customer grievance portal and information-cum-sales kiosks.
Sales, awareness and providing access- Bima, a young Swedish microinsurance company, is using mobile phones to sell as many as three billion new insurance policies to the global poor. Bima, that has begun to access this untapped market, is now one of the largest mobile insurance platforms in the world. In just three years, Bima has acquired 4 million clients in Africa and Asia and is adding 400,000 new subscribers per month. Bima has been tackling many of the obstacles—education, pricing, premium collection—that prevent poor people from obtaining such benefits. For instance, Bima products such as life, accident and health insurance cost "as little as $0.20 to $6.00 a month. Last month, Leapfrog invested $4.25 million in Bima, which will allow the company to expand even further within Africa and Asia as well as reach into new markets in Latin America.
In the last decade the healthcare monitoring systems have drawn considerable attentions of the researchers. The prime goal was to develop a reliable patient monitoring system so that the healthcare professionals can monitor their patients, who are either hospitalized or executing their normal daily life activities. In this work we present a mobile device based wireless healthcare monitoring system that can provide real time online information about physiological conditions of a patient. Our proposed system is designed to measure and monitor important physiological data of a patient in order to accurately describe the status of her/his health and fitness. In addition the proposed system is able to send alarming message about the patient’s critical health data by text messages or by email reports. By using the information contained in the text or e-mail message the healthcare professional can provide necessary medical
advising. The system mainly consists of sensors, the data acquisition unit, microcontroller (i.e., Arduino), and software (i.e., LabVIEW). The patient’s temperature, heart beat rate, muscles, blood pressure, blood glucose level, and ECG data are monitored, displayed, and stored by our system. To ensure reliability and accuracy the proposed system has been field tested. The test results show that our system is able to measure the patient’s physiological data with a very high accuracy.
M health an emerging trend an empirical studycsandit
The advent and advancement in technology specific to medical field has seen a migration of its
work across the globe, adapting higher and newer levels of m-health. Technology has been
successful in transforming the way traditional monitoring and alert system work to a modern
approach wherein minimizing the need for physical monitoring. Today, the field of healthcare
use varied monitoring systems to monitor the health of patients using ubiquitous and nonubiquitous
devices. These are sensor based devices that can read vital signs of patients and send
the data to the required personnel’s using mobile networks. This paper understands and
analyses how the monitoring and alert system works specific to m-health. m-health including
wearable and non-wearable devices read various vital signs and have the ability to monitor
health real-time and transfer the information collected using mobile network. m-health has
become an useful tool for elderly in this fast paced world where almost all the family members
are working or studying to keep track and maintain optimal health status. m-health alert system
involves the patient, the caretaker and medical service provider wherein the patient wears the
device and vital signs recorded are transferred the medical service provider who then analyses
the data collected and required changes in the medication are implemented. This paper
proposes a medical alert system that enlightens the capabilities of m-health making health
monitoring easy and reliable. It contains a three-level severity check and raises an alarm to the
caretaker, the physician or the ambulatory service provider.

The worldwide network of internet of things (IOT) combined with advancements in sensor networks, FID and software platform connects objects of various application fields and technology. IOT is most commonly described as an ecosystem of technologies but it requires necessary components to enable communication between devices and objects. Components being RFID and sensors. Many organization have already implemented IOT. Healthcare industry too have adopted IOT and can be extensively used in the future for the benefit of patients, elderly people and caregivers. A new concept named 'Health Internet of Things (HIOT)' was proposed to exploit sensor technologies and wireless networks in monitoring medical conditions. Also advancements in E textile technologies make the textile multifunctional, adaptive and responsive system which combined with IOT performs functions such as communication, computation and health care benefits. Cloud is used to store, control and retrieve or transform or classify information. The use of cloud based application in healthcare industries is constantly growing to benefit patients so that they can monitor their health, store and share records. This paper aims at developing a dependable, productive, high performance and assured smart healthcare system to deliver service to patients avoiding health risks using e textile technologies
IoT is a modest way to elevate our production and yield with the help of internet. We can supervise and control and communicate with the help of internet. Internet Of Things imagines a future physical and digital entities are to be linked by proper information and communication technologies which will sanction new class of applications and services. In this survey we will ensure a survey of applications and research difficulties for Internet Of Things in Healthcare.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

25. STMicroelectronics
Geneva, November 05,2009 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM),
one of the world’s leading semiconductor companies, and Mayo
Clinic, a premier health-care organization, are collaborating on a
novel platform for remotely monitoring patients with chronic
cardiovascular disease. The platform will provide a comprehensive
and unobtrusive solution that monitors person-specific data and
physiological parameters and influences lifestyle and treatment
choices.
Telemedicine, which allows medical professionals to monitor or treat
patients even when they are not in the same location, is widely
recognized as an essential step in reducing the escalating cost of
healthcare. Instead of entering a hospital or visiting a doctor for
check-ups, the patient wears a small device that continually
monitors a number of relevant physiological parameters. This
approach has many potential benefits, including maintaining
wellness, earlier detection of developing health conditions,
improving lifestyle, and lowering healthcare costs.
26. GE Healthcare
I am a member of the Radio Frequency and Photonics
Laboratory at GE Global Research. We develop a variety of
RF sensing and wireless communications technologies.
Most recently, my colleagues and I have been working with
GE Healthcare to change the game for ambulatory patient
monitoring with Medical Body Sensor Networks.
You might ask, what are body sensor networks (or BSNs, as
they are known in my world)? Well, they are basically a
collection of non-invasive and body-worn devices that are
capable of collecting a variety of real-time information about
a patient’s medical condition inside or outside a hospital or
assisted living facility. The great thing about this data is that
it can be collected and then processed locally at the patient
or transmitted electronically to a centralized monitoring
station, so that a doctor can monitor how a patient is doing YouTube
whether they are checking them at the hospital or from their
office and even home.

This application is the combination of various geriatric assistance ideas (two
to be exact). The first function of the application is a more modern “I’ve fallen
and I can’t get up” device which actually attempts to detect when a fall has
occurred using the Motion/Accelerometer module. If a fall is detected, a log
is posted to a tumblr account (http://www.tumblr.com) complete with an
image (generated using the Yahoo! Maps API) which pin-points the location
of the fall based on the GPS coordinates retrieved from the GPS module.
The second function of the application is used to help people with memory
issues (Alzheimer's patients, etc.) by recording images throughout the day
and allowing them to review those images in rapid succession before they
go to bed, which has been proven to help increase their recollection of
events.
The GeriatricAssistant employs the following BUG modules:
Camera (used to take images every 30 seconds to be played back in
the evening before the user goes to bed)
Motion/Accelerometer (used to determine when a �free fall� has
