Healthcare of Diabetes in Monitoring Patient Blood Glucose at Remote Areas Us...DR.P.S.JAGADEESH KUMAR
This document discusses using cloud technology to monitor blood glucose levels of diabetes patients in remote areas. It proposes that cloud-based healthcare could allow doctors to access patient history and test results through mobile devices to prescribe medications based on glucose readings, even when patients are remote. The document reviews literature on using cloud computing for diabetes management and the benefits it could provide like easy sharing of information between healthcare providers. Challenges around security and privacy are also discussed.

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.

Standardization and wider use of Electronic Health records (EHR) creates opportunities for
better understanding patterns of illness and care within and across medical systems. In the healthcare
systems, hidden event signatures allow taking decision for patient’s diagnosis, prognosis, and
management. Temporal history of event codes embedded in patients' records, investigates frequently
occurring sequences of event codes across patients. There is a framework that enables the
representation, retrieval, and mining of high order latent event structure and relationships within
single and multiple event sequences. There is a wealth of hidden information present in the large
databases. Different data mining techniques can be used for retrieving data. A classifier approach for
detection of diabetes is presented in this paper and shows how Naive Bayes can be used for
classification purpose. In this system, medical data is categories into five categories namely low,
average, high and very high and critical, treatment is given as per the predicted category. The system
will predict the class label of unknown sample. Hence two basic functions namely classification
(training) and prediction (testing) will be performed. An algorithm and database used affects the
accuracy of the system. It can answer complex queries for diagnosing diabetes disease and thus assist
healthcare practitioners to make intelligent clinical decisions which traditional decision support
systems cannot.Over the last decade, so many information visualization techniques have been
developed to support the exploration of large data sets. There are various interactive visual data
mining tools available for visual data analysis. It is possible to perform clinical assessment for visual
interactive knowledge discovery in large electronic health record databases. In this paper, we
proposed that it is possible to develop a tool for data visualization for interactive knowledge
discovery.

3) A third experiment combines all three approaches, with Decision List as the master. As expected, this achieves the highest accuracy compared to the individual approaches.
This document summarizes a study that used finite element analysis to evaluate vehicle interior safety features. The study analyzed head injury criteria (HIC) from impacts of a free motion headform at various points inside a vehicle model, both with and without interior trim components. Without trim, the HIC exceeded 1000, the safety standard limit, at all impact points. With 2mm thick trim added to the pillars and side rails, the HIC was below 1000 at all points tested. The results indicate that interior trim materials are effective at reducing head accelerations and meeting safety standards during interior impacts.
Determination of load transfer in reinforced concrete solid slabs by finite e...IOSR Journals
This document analyzes load transfer in reinforced concrete solid slabs using finite element analysis. It models two types of slabs in SAP2000: 1) slabs with pin supports on all four edges and 2) slabs with pin supports at corners and beams along edges. For type 1, stresses are higher in the short direction but still significant in the long direction, showing load is transferred two-way. For type 2, stresses in the short direction increase with stiffer beams while stresses in the long direction decrease. The analysis concludes all concrete solid slabs behave as two-way slabs, transferring load in both directions regardless of dimensions or support conditions.

The document summarizes a reversible data hiding method for encrypted images using a rhombus method. The proposed method has four stages: 1) generating an encrypted image by partitioning the original image, reversibly embedding pixel LSBs, and encrypting, 2) hiding data in the encrypted image LSBs, 3) decrypting and extracting the hidden data independently from recovering the original image, 4) recovering the original image by reversing the rhombus method after data extraction. The method ensures error-free extraction and recovery by reserving space before encryption and separating the extraction and recovery processes.
Privacy Preserving Clustering on Distorted dataIOSR Journals
- The document discusses privacy-preserving clustering on distorted data using singular value decomposition (SVD) and sparsified singular value decomposition (SSVD).
- It applies SVD and SSVD to distort a real-world dataset of 100 terrorists with 42 attributes, generating distorted datasets.
- K-means clustering is then performed on the original and distorted datasets for different numbers of clusters (k). The results show that SSVD more effectively groups the data objects into clusters compared to the original and SVD-distorted datasets, while preserving data privacy as measured by various metrics.
This document discusses the conceptual design, structural analysis, and flow analysis of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wing. It begins by providing background on UAVs and listing the design requirements and parameters for the wing. It then describes selecting a rectangular wing planform and NACA 2415 airfoil based on the design criteria. Aerodynamic analysis is conducted to determine performance parameters like lift coefficient and drag. Structural analysis of the wing is performed using two spar designs - a tubular spar with and without a strut. Maximum stresses and bending moments are calculated and compared for straight and tapered wing configurations. Flow simulation will also be conducted on the finalized wing design.
The document analyzes and compares the impact of different shunt compensation devices (shunt capacitor, synchronous phase modifier (SPM), and static VAR compensator (SVC)) on voltage stability enhancement. It identifies the most critical contingency using indices like P-V curves, L-index, and fast voltage stability index (FVSI) for the IEEE 9-bus, 30-bus, and 118-bus test systems. The optimal location and size of the shunt compensator is determined by placing a fictitious generator at the weakest bus. Simulation results show that all three devices can improve voltage stability against load variations, with SPM having slightly higher losses than the other options.

3) The review finds that tools like PhoneGap based on technologies like HTML5, CSS, and jQuery offer a way to build cross-platform web apps, but generator-based tools producing native apps from a common codebase are not yet mature.
A Mobile-Cloud based Context-Aware and Interactive Framework for Diabetes Man...IJERA Editor
One of the biggest preoccupations of any healthcare provider is trying to eliminate the mistakes during treatment. Using Cloud computing permits to host all information in one place and make it accessible anywhere, anytime, and any channel, especially when it comes to the disease diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases characterized by an elevated blood glucose level (hyperglycemia) resulting from defects in insulin secretion, in insulin action, or both. It is, today, the most challenging syndrome in the world. In the latest survey, the world’s 65% of the population is suffering from either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient’s blood glucose level is not the same 24x7 hours in most of the cases and take medication 24x7 hours is impossible. Cloud Computing is so the best solution to check in the patient’s blood glucose control and try to balance it, especially at remote areas where healthcare services aren't easily available.

The proposed method has four stages: 1) generating an encrypted image by partitioning the original image, reversibly embedding pixel LSBs, and encrypting, 2) hiding data in the encrypted image LSBs, 3) decrypting and extracting the hidden data independently from recovering the original image, 4) recovering the original image by reversing the rhombus method after data extraction. The method ensures error-free extraction and recovery by reserving space before encryption and separating the extraction and recovery processes.

A Mobile-Cloud based Context-Aware and Interactive Framework for Diabetes Man...IJERA Editor
One of the biggest preoccupations of any healthcare provider is trying to eliminate the mistakes during treatment. Using Cloud computing permits to host all information in one place and make it accessible anywhere, anytime, and any channel, especially when it comes to the disease diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases characterized by an elevated blood glucose level (hyperglycemia) resulting from defects in insulin secretion, in insulin action, or both. It is, today, the most challenging syndrome in the world. In the latest survey, the world’s 65% of the population is suffering from either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient’s blood glucose level is not the same 24x7 hours in most of the cases and take medication 24x7 hours is impossible. Cloud Computing is so the best solution to check in the patient’s blood glucose control and try to balance it, especially at remote areas where healthcare services aren't easily available.
Technology is revolutionizing every industry, but
health care is especially seeing major
transformations that boost the quality of care,
provider efficiency, and patient convenience. The
impact of these four health care technology

How the internet of things is impacting healthcarePinta Partners
A man with a heart condition has an implanted device that tracks his vital signs from home and alerts his doctor if issues arise, allowing him to avoid unnecessary doctor visits. This scenario is becoming more common due to the growing use of internet-connected devices in healthcare through the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT enables remote monitoring of patients, expedites healthcare delivery, and reduces costs. However, challenges remain around data security, accessibility of technology, and integrating large amounts of data. Overall, the IoT has great potential to revolutionize healthcare through higher efficiency, reduced waste, and improved patient health.
1) Wearable technologies can help create a more individualized and preventative approach to healthcare that significantly reduces costs by monitoring vital signs and activity levels in real-time.
2) Sharing health data from wearables with doctors and insurers allows for timely feedback and treatment while also incentivizing individuals to engage in preventative care through rewards programs.
3) However, using wearable data in healthcare raises privacy issues that must comply with regulations like HIPAA, and organizations collecting and sharing health data could face legal liabilities depending on how the data is used and interpreted.

Coffee consumption and heart health Sep 17, 2020Coffee is one oWilheminaRossi174
Coffee consumption and heart health Sep 17, 2020
Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages worldwide. It’s hard to beat a good cup of coffee – especially as the weather begins to turn cooler. But what about coffee consumption and heart health? A meta-analysis (a quantitative, systematic study to assess results of previous research) of 36 long-term research studies was conducted to determine the relationship of long-term coffee consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease. The combined participants in these studies were approximately 1.2 million and the average length of follow-up was ten years. This meta-analysis found that drinking 3.5 cups of coffee per day (caffeinated or decaffeinated) was associated with a 15% lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared to drinking no coffee (Ding, et al., 2014).
A Swedish study followed a cohort of 1369 patients for eight years after being hospitalized for a first heart attack. This study found that those who drank two or more cups of caffeinated coffee per day were 40% less likely to die from cardiovascular disease than those who drank none or only one cup of coffee per day (Mukamal, et al., 2009). A more recent study of a cohort of 4365 Dutch patients who had a previous heart attack found that drinking coffee (either caffeinated or decaffeinated) was associated with a lower risk of death from both cardiovascular disease and ischemic heart disease (Dongen, et al., 2017).
It is important to keep in mind that a standard cup of coffee is about six ounces. A coffee mug can hold much more than six ounces of coffee. In fact, some large mugs may be equivalent to two or more six-ounce cups of coffee. Be sure to limit added sugars and creamers, as these can quickly add up in extra calories.
It is also important to note that unfiltered coffee contains cafestol and kahweol. These two compounds are associated with increased levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. Cafestol and Kahweol are mostly removed when coffee is filtered with a paper filter (Du, et al., 2020).
While many studies have found an association between coffee consumption and reduced cardiovascular disease, this does not mean that consumption of coffee causes a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. In other words, in research, association does not prove cause and effect. In addition, individual sensitivity to caffeine can vary considerably. It is especially important that individuals with a history of heart disease and those taking medications for heart disease always check with their physician before making significant changes in caffeine consumption.

This document analyzes the performance of various modulation schemes for achieving energy efficient communication over fading channels in wireless sensor networks. It finds that for long transmission distances, low-order modulations like BPSK are optimal due to their lower SNR requirements. However, as transmission distance decreases, higher-order modulations like 16-QAM and 64-QAM become more optimal since they can transmit more bits per symbol, outweighing their higher SNR needs. Simulations show lifetime extensions up to 550% are possible in short-range networks by using higher-order modulations instead of just BPSK. The optimal modulation depends on transmission distance and balancing the energy used by electronic components versus power amplifiers.
This document provides a review of mobility management techniques in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs).

The document also discusses mobility management challenges in VANETs and outlines some open research issues in improving mobility management for seamless communication in these dynamic networks.
This document provides a review of different techniques for segmenting brain MRI images to detect tumors. It compares the K-means and Fuzzy C-means clustering algorithms. K-means is an exclusive clustering algorithm that groups data points into distinct clusters, while Fuzzy C-means is an overlapping clustering algorithm that allows data points to belong to multiple clusters. The document finds that Fuzzy C-means requires more time for brain tumor detection compared to other methods like hierarchical clustering or K-means. It also reviews related work applying these clustering algorithms to segment brain MRI images.
1) The document simulates and compares the performance of AODV and DSDV routing protocols in a mobile ad hoc network under three conditions: when users are fixed, when users move towards the base station, and when users move away from the base station.
2) The results show that both protocols have higher packet delivery and lower packet loss when users are either fixed or moving towards the base station, since signal strength is better in those scenarios. Performance degrades when users move away from the base station due to weaker signals.
3) AODV generally has better performance than DSDV, with higher throughput and packet delivery rates observed across the different user mobility conditions.
This document describes the design and implementation of 4-bit QPSK and 256-bit QAM modulation techniques using MATLAB. It compares the two techniques based on SNR, BER, and efficiency. The key steps of implementing each technique in MATLAB are outlined, including generating random bits, modulation, adding noise, and measuring BER. Simulation results show scatter plots and eye diagrams of the modulated signals. A table compares the results, showing that 256-bit QAM provides better performance than 4-bit QPSK. The document concludes that QAM modulation is more effective for digital transmission systems.
The document proposes a hybrid technique using Anisotropic Scale Invariant Feature Transform (A-SIFT) and Robust Ensemble Support Vector Machine (RESVM) to accurately identify faces in images. A-SIFT improves upon traditional SIFT by applying anisotropic scaling to extract richer directional keypoints. Keypoints are processed with RESVM and hypothesis testing to increase accuracy above 95% by repeatedly reprocessing images until the threshold is met. The technique was tested on similar and different facial images and achieved better results than SIFT in retrieval time and reduced keypoints.
This document studies the effects of dielectric superstrate thickness on microstrip patch antenna parameters. Three types of probes-fed patch antennas (rectangular, circular, and square) were designed to operate at 2.4 GHz using Arlondiclad 880 substrate. The antennas were tested with and without an Arlondiclad 880 superstrate of varying thicknesses. It was found that adding a superstrate slightly degraded performance by lowering the resonant frequency and increasing return loss and VSWR, while decreasing bandwidth and gain. Specifically, increasing the superstrate thickness or dielectric constant resulted in greater changes to the antenna parameters.
This document describes a wireless environment monitoring system that utilizes soil energy as a sustainable power source for wireless sensors.

1) The document proposes a model for a frequency tunable inverted-F antenna that uses ferrite material.
2) The resonant frequency of the antenna can be significantly shifted from 2.41GHz to 3.15GHz, a 31% shift, by increasing the static magnetic field placed on the ferrite material.
3) Altering the permeability of the ferrite allows tuning of the antenna's resonant frequency without changing the physical dimensions, providing flexibility to operate over a wide frequency range.
This document summarizes a research paper that presents a speech enhancement method using stationary wavelet transform. The method first classifies speech into voiced, unvoiced, and silence regions based on short-time energy. It then applies different thresholding techniques to the wavelet coefficients of each region - modified hard thresholding for voiced speech, semi-soft thresholding for unvoiced speech, and setting coefficients to zero for silence. Experimental results using speech from the TIMIT database corrupted with white Gaussian noise at various SNR levels show improved performance over other popular denoising methods.
This document reviews the design of an energy-optimized wireless sensor node that encrypts data for transmission. It discusses how sensing schemes that group nodes into clusters and transmit aggregated data can reduce energy consumption compared to individual node transmissions. The proposed node design calculates the minimum transmission power needed based on received signal strength and uses a periodic sleep/wake cycle to optimize energy when not sensing or transmitting. It aims to encrypt data at both the node and network level to further optimize energy usage for wireless communication.
This document discusses group consumption modes. It analyzes factors that impact group consumption, including external environmental factors like technological developments enabling new forms of online and offline interactions, as well as internal motivational factors at both the group and individual level. The document then proposes that group consumption modes can be divided into four types based on two dimensions: vertical (group relationship intensity) and horizontal (consumption action period). These four types are instrument-oriented, information-oriented, enjoyment-oriented, and relationship-oriented consumption modes. Finally, the document notes that consumption modes are dynamic and can evolve over time.
The document summarizes a study of different microstrip patch antenna configurations with slotted ground planes. Three antenna designs were proposed and their performance evaluated through simulation: a conventional square patch, an elliptical patch, and a star-shaped patch. All antennas were mounted on an FR4 substrate. The effects of adding different slot patterns to the ground plane on resonance frequency, bandwidth, gain and efficiency were analyzed parametrically. Key findings were that reshaping the patch and adding slots increased bandwidth and shifted resonance frequency. The elliptical and star patches in particular performed better than the conventional design. Three antenna configurations were selected for fabrication and measurement based on the simulations: a conventional patch with a slot under the patch, an elliptical patch with slots

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Abstract : The major interest of the authors in surveying cloud computing based healthcare of diabetes is to
make a thorough check in the patient’s blood glucose control at remote areas. The improvement in the
technology and combined research can bring out the best medication and diagnosis for any disease. Today, the
most challenging syndrome across the globe is diabetes mellitus. In the latest survey, the world’s 65% of the
population is suffering from either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus. But in most of the cases, the patient’s
blood glucose level is not the same 24x7 hours and medication 24x7 hours is impossible. Thus cloud based
healthcare is the one and only solution. Also the data’s stored in the cloud can be easily retrieved and placed
quiet safe and secure with best security technique adopted. Doctors can maintain the patience history related
data set and test results through his mobile, laptop, desktop and though the patient is at remote location, he can
prescribe the medication through mail, mobile SMS based on the latest blood glucose level tested through
glucometer or nearby lab.

I. INTRODUCTION
Cloud computing has been coined as an umbrella term to describe a category of sophisticated on-
demand computing services initially offered by commercial providers, such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
It denotes a model on which a computing infrastructure is viewed as a “cloud,” from which businesses and
individuals access applications from anywhere in the world on demand. The main principle behind this model is
offering computing, storage, and software “as a service.” One of the biggest concerns of any healthcare provider
is minimizing or eliminating the occurrence of mistakes during treatment. The speed and accessibility of the
cloud allows every staff member working with a patient to double or triple check details again and again without
adding time to the processing. This allows for much more checks and balances. This not only helps protect
patients, which is the first priority of any provider, but also minimizes expensive lawsuits and damage to a
hospital‟s reputation.
II. CLOUD COMPUTING IN HEALTH CARE
Keeping tablet computers on hand to access the cloud during operations has become more common
these days. Surgeons are expected to have a great deal of knowledge, and having access to the cloud can allow
them to quickly reference surgical texts in an electronic format as needed. It also allows running pre-operative
assessment software, communicating with other professionals, referencing medical records, or video
conferencing.Cloud computing in hospitals creates interesting possibilities for sharing information with patients
about their condition, their options, and the treatment process. They can be given the opportunity to log in and
view their details as needed or even play more of a role in their own medical care. Healthcare providers can also
use it as a way to educate current or future patients about how to stay healthy.The costs of medical care has
become one of the biggest issues. One of the ways to minimize the costs is to cut down on how much the
hospital spends to care for patients, and the cost of storing and processing information has become a significant
factor. If cloud service solutions can make a hospital work together more efficiently, and it very well can, this
typically amounts to cost savings as well.
It‟s legally required for most hospitals to store images produced by ultrasounds, x-rays, CT scans,
MRIs, and other procedures for seven or more years, and then backups are needed in case the system goes
down. With all the imagery being created, this means a huge mass of storage space to archive everything. Cloud
storage provides a cost-effective, more streamlined solution for health-care providers to follow the guidelines
and regulations required.By storing information on the cloud, you open up possibilities for instant, easy sharing
between different medical professionals. Not only does this make it easier for staff within the hospital to work
together more efficiently but it also provides an option to receive a quick opinion from more qualified specialists
for unique cases where experienced input is needed.Before cloud computing becomes the absolute standard;
patients, medical professionals, and government officials alike are demanding that service providers guarantee
the privacy of their information. They also would like for it to always be accessible in situations where a

patient‟s health is on the line.Cloud computing is a very secure service to store data. It is a secure service that is
provided by some of the largest and most trusted companies such as Citrix, Microstoft and VMware. Companies
such as these have some of the most secure networks in the world and can be highly trusted with sensitive
information and data.
III. DIABETES MELLITUS
Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases characterized by an elevated blood glucose level
(hyperglycemia) resulting from defects in insulin secretion, in insulin action, or both. Diabetes mellitus is not a
pathogenic entity but a group of etiologically different metabolic defects. Common symptoms of diabetes are
lethargy from marked hyperglycemia, polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, blurred vision and susceptibility to
certain infections. Severe hyperglycemia may lead to hyperosmolar syndrome and insulin deficiency to life-
threatening ketoacidosis. Chronic hyperglycemia causes long-term damage, dysfunction and failures of various
cells, tissues and organs. Diabetes mellitus is a continuous medicated syndrome. Permanent cure of diabetes is
rare and the patient can be classified into two categories of Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.The following
symptoms of diabetes are typical. However, some people with type 2 diabetes have symptoms so mild that they
go unnoticed.Early detection and treatment of diabetes can decrease the risk of developing the complications of
diabetes.Common symptoms of diabetes:
Urinating often
Feeling very thirsty
Feeling very hungry - even though you are eating
Extreme fatigue
Blurry vision
Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal
Weight loss - even though you are eating more (type 1)
Tingling, pain, or numbness in the hands/feet (type 2)
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as
juvenile diabetes. Only 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the disease.In type 1 diabetes, the body
does not produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into
energy needed for daily life. With the help of insulin therapy and other treatments, even young children can
learn to manage their condition and live long, healthy lives.Diabetes is a problem with our body that causes
blood glucose (sugar) levels to rise higher than normal. This is also called hyperglycaemia. Type 2 diabetes is
the most common form of diabetes. In Type 2 diabetes,the body does not use insulin properly. This is called
insulin resistance. At first, the pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it. But, over time our pancreas isn‟t
able to keep up and can‟t make enough insulin to keep our blood glucose levels normal. Some people with type
2 can control their blood glucose with healthy eating and being active. But, doctor may need to also prescribe
oral medications or insulin to help us meet our target blood glucose levels. Type 2 is treated it with lifestyle
changes, oral medications (pills), and insulin.When glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, it
can cause two problems:
Right away, our cells may be starved for energy.
Over time, high blood glucose levels may hurt our eyes, kidneys, nerves or heart.
IV. CLOUD COMPUTING AND DIABETES MELLITUS
Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the
Internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-
as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The name cloud was inspired by the symbol that's often
used to represent the Internet in flowcharts and diagrams. Perhaps it is common that, some of our family photos
are on a desktop computer at home, others at work and still more on our phone. That's very inconvenient when
it's time to create a photo album. The same is true when diabetes data is stored in different places. By hosting all
information in one place and making it accessible anywhere, one can have a complete view of everything that
impacts their blood glucose levels, no matter where they are. Cloud computing can also help people stay more
connected to their self-care. Study has already shown that access to information over the internet can help
enhance engagement and control for people who live in remote areas where healthcare services aren't readily
available. Finally, it's been established that using an information management system can contribute to a
significant, lasting improvement in blood glucose control. Cloud computing takes that one step further by
providing immediate, anywhere access to our numbers. The general analysis and diagnosis of diabetes mellitus
is as shown in Fig.1.

V. LITERATURE SURVEY
Yan Hu, Fangjie Lu, Israr Khan, Guohua Bai et al. [1] concluded that to accomplish the needs of
healthcare information sharing in e-health, cloud computing is a superior solution. Cloud computing is a new
technology and have good performance in storing and accessing information. Their research was mainly focused
on the implementation of SaaS cloud computing technique to share healthcare information. With the designed
prototype, could cover the current interoperability gap in e-health. The experiment results indicate that there are
many strengths to use SaaS service to solve the problem such as quick development, high availability, large data
table storage, application as web service and authorized information. In the other hand, obvious drawbacks like
limitation of picture sharing and unpredictable latency are still challenges for widely using SaaS service to e-
health development for diabetes management as well.
G.Nikhita Reddy, G.J.Ugander Reddy et al. [2] presented that the major advantage of using mobile
technologies with cloud technologies is its mobility and easy sharing of the information.The cloud computing
based solutions in healthcare can help the physicians to stay in touch with their patients and examine their
healthcondition effectively at a low cost.There may be some concern regarding the security and other privacy
issues of data but still as every problem has a solution in the similar way these issues too can be solved. One day
utilization of cloud technologies in healthcare of analysis and diagnosis of diabetes mellitus would result in a
new era in the field of healthcare.Every section in the society can access this healthcare by implementation of
this technology. It is always remembered that cloud computing is still a developing technology,which implies
that in the future years the services it offers will be greater than our expectations or just beyond our imagination.
Yan Hu and Guohua Bai et al. [3] presented that research on applying cloud computing technology to
eHealth is in its early stages; mostresearchers have presented ideas without real-world cases validation. The
obvious features ofcloud computing technology provide more reasons to adopt cloud computing in sharing
andmanaging health information. The main purpose of their review was to identify some challenges andfeasible
cloudbased solutions which can be applied in eHealth. The current review suggests thatwith the unique
superiority of the cloud in big data storage and processing ability, a hybrid cloudplatform with mixed access
control and security protection mechanisms will be a main researcharea for developing citizen centred
homebased healthcare system for diabetes.
Sanjay P Ahuja, Sindhu Mani and Jesus Zambrano et al. [4] decided that the current trend of adopting
cloud computing in the medical field can improve and solve several collaborativeinformation issues in
healthcare organizations as well as cost optimizations. Standardized cloud-basedapplications will bring obvious
advantages to patients, physicians, insurance companies, pharmacies, imaginingcentres, etc. When sharing
information across medical organizations yielding better results. Challenges such assecurity concerns and
interoperability will rise due to the cloud-computing model. Therefore, the adoption of thecloud is progressing
slowly. Through the implementation of best practices in the design, deployment and use ofit will hopefully
generate a future growth of the cloud-based systems adoption of diabetes management, despite all of the
obstacles.

Atiya Parveen, Sobia Habib, Waseem Ahmad et al. [5] concluded that E-health cloud is the next big
buzz in healthcare sector. Cloud has the potential to transform the healthcaresector. With the use of cloud
computing in healthcare sector, it would become centralized, and as data could beshared between all the
healthcare providers on cloud, there would be collaboration as well as virtualization.With the help of cloud
computing, rural healthcare centres would efficiently use their IT infrastructure to themaximum and increase its
profits. It would also help patients to have better treatment, hospitals as well asdoctors. It would also help in
carrying out research work, sharing data and analysing it. There cannot be onedeployment model or the service
model that can cater to Healthcare world.
VMware cloud solutions [6]proposed that healthcare organizations to transform the cost, quality
anddelivery of patient care products and services for any syndrome including diabetes. Healthcare IT
departments are reshapedinto nimble and efficient entities that can respond faster to the needs of
researchers,providers, payers and consumers while reducing infrastructure and operating costs. Any
organization can think about building for the cloud. Although true cloud computing is a standardized approach,
the way each individualorganization approaches cloud computing is not.The way we approach cloud computing
will depend on our objectives. Do we want tobegin with an internal private cloud or do we want to leverage
public cloud services.
Kyle D. Lutes et al. [7] designed the Diabetic E-Management System seemed to beusable based on the
SUS scores and the interviews that was conducted. The SUS scores indicated that the system wasusable. Most of
the participants interviewed felt that thetechnology was usable, yet some felt that DEMS wouldbe useful only if
the patient was motivated to managehis/her diabetes. Furthermore, it was apparent that olderdiabetes patients
would not be willing to use a system likeDEMS since they have been using a pencil and papersystem that they
have developed over the years. Theparticipants seemed to enjoy the overall concept ofDEMS, but DEMS still
posed some shortcomings, likestrict compliance rates and the inability to wirelesslyintegrate the glucometer and
insulin pump readings to thePocket PC PDA. In conclusion, this research exemplifieda big potential for a
DEMS-like system to becommercialized and used in the real world once all thetechnical issues were overcome,
and the system matured,becoming well integrated with the insulin pumps and thecommercially available
glucometers.
George Hsieh andRong-Jaye Chen et al. [8] proposed a design for a secureinteroperable cloud-based
personal health record service.This design uses a self-protecting security framework thatintegrates access
control, confidentiality, integrity control,and authorization in an embedded and fine-grained manner.It uses the
standard CCD for storing and exchanging PHRinformation. The design leverages recent advancements
inattribute-based encryption and public-key based searchableencryption to support patient-controlled and fine-
grainedencryption, and privacy-preserving keyword search. It alsoutilizes a variety of open standards to enhance
the portabilityand interoperability of the system, and leverage open sourcesoftware packages that are readily
available forimplementing these open standards.Going forward, they planned to continue with the
detaileddesign of the proposed system, and the implementation of aprototype system for demonstration purpose.
Further they decided to exploit emerging cryptographic schemes that canenhance the functionality, efficiency,
and usability of theencryption and key management operations such as multiauthorityABE.
Wei-Tse Tang, Chiu-Ming Hu, and Chien-Yeh Hsu et al. [9] concluded that many factors can cause a
deviation value whensubjects are taking physiological measurements. For example,blood pressure of our hands
may not being the same, sosubjects must use one specific hand during the test forconsistent values and ease of
the following research andcomparison. In addition, for the measurements not beingaffected, it is necessary to
avoid talking, moving or shakingtheir body. It will also cause an error value if taking themeasurements during
the time of 30 minutes after meal, smoke,exercise, and bathing or drinking (wine, coffee or tea).Therefore,
taking physiological measurements under anabnormal situation must be avoided.In the future, the system can
build a real-time imageprocessing system to provide the hospital's internal medical imagetransmission
services,and it will also follow the transmissionstandard of electronic medical records which Department
ofHealth in Taiwan enacted. Through their cloud managementsystem, medical image data could be transmitted
to localcommunity clients and read by physicians. Additionally,through the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
services,physicians and consultants may easily discuss and providepatients‟ family members a distance visits
service. This willfurther enhance the system to give out patient bedside videosand multimedia medical and
sanitary education information.To improve the services, their system will further integrateprevention health
services, provide internet browsing ordownload the service for people throughout the advisory by allmedical
institutions and offering hygiene tips for chronicpatients, or other weight control information.

Carlos Oberdan Rolim, Fernando Luiz Koch, Carlos Becker Westphall et al. [10] proposeda design
promotes re-usability through the use of a standardservices implemented and deployed by using a Platform as
aService (PaaS). In addition, it leverages others health-careinstitutions to use services through a Software as a
Service(SaaS) model without investments on hardware or softwarelicenses.Moreover, they suggested that this
project contributes toscientific and social fields. On the scientific field, the projectgenerates new knowledge and
applications for utilitycomputing, cloud computing, sensor networks and mobilecomputing. These areas are
being extensively explored bythe academic community and the developments from thisproject will address some
of the outstanding questions.There are many lines of research involved in thisdevelopment, such as: information
systems, systemmodeling, networking, mobile service development, servicemanagement, computational security
and quality of service(QoS) for cloud computing based diabetic management system.
Abdullah Al-Malaise Al-Ghamdi et al. [11] proposed that the art of researches in expert system for the
purpose of diagnosis and determining the treatment of the diabetes. They introduced a new cloud computing
based expert system for diabetes treatment using Google app engine. The system is an open source software,
also researchers and developers can add to it. It web-based flexible, easy to use, and guarantees the security. The
authors will develop their system in sophisticated manner and will provide a version for smart phones and IPad.
Roma Chauhan, AmitKumar et al. [12] suggested that the e-Health Cloud represents an efficient
technologysolution for several healthcare providers experiencing variousconcerns of increasing healthcare
delivery costs, informationsharing, and scarcity of healthcare professionals. The benefitsgained cannot be
suppressed by issues of trust, privacy, andsecurity. The technical issues that must be addressed beforehealth care
providers can fully adopt and trust the e-HealthCloud. Challenges of security and interoperability will risewith
the cloud computing model leading to the adoption of thecloud remarkably slowly. With the implementation of
bestpractices in the design, deployment and use of it will hopefullygenerate a future growth of the cloud based
systemsembracement despite all of the obstacles. The paper providesan overview of the necessity and utility of
big data mining incloud computing. Not much research has been done in the areaof big health care data mining.
The future perspective ofresearch explores management and application of healthcarebig data mining for
improved decision making in healthcare.
Vishesh Ved, Vivek Tyagi, Ankur Agarwal, A. S. Pandya et al. [13] proposed a Web-based PHRS that
can store data in acloud-based architecture. The proposed system provides anavenue to store images such as
MRI, CAT, X-Ray and Medicalpersonnel can view images with Image J viewer and diabetic related analysis. A
user case isdiscussed to show the functionality of the system. Futureupdates will focus on security and privacy
aspects.
Vassiliki Koufi, Flora Malamateniou and George Vassilacopoulos et al. [14] decided that Cloud
computing and SOA convergence can be used tomeet the increased collaboration and coordinationrequirements
between emergency healthcare processparticipants by facilitating relevant information access byauthorized
people where and when needed. Cloudcomputing was used to produce a flexible and scalablesystem, supporting
interoperability and execution ofplatform independent applications while providing secureaccess to sensitive
data. Their paper presents a cloud EMSsystem, within the context of a prototype healthcare portal,namely
NefeliPortal. One important characteristic of theproposed system specifically calls for the integration ofEMS
systems with PHRs and, possibly, other externalsystems since systems integration is a prerequisite foraccurate
safety alerts, patient monitoring, and otherrecommended capabilities.Usability constitutes one of the key
features of everysystem and is primarily concerned with making a systemeasy to learn and use. On these
grounds, one of the tasks tobe undertaken in the near future is system evaluation, whichwill be performed by
potential users in order for theusability of the system to be determined. Thus, potentialweaknesses of the system
may be revealed suggestingalterations in the system design.
Nourhan Bayasi, Hani Saleh et al. [15] concluded that many methods and systems have been proposed
to targetand monitor the blood glucose level of diabetic patients. Their paper has summarized the work
ofImplanted Microsystem, Wireless Contact-Lens Sensor for Tear Glucose Monitoring, Hydrogel-Based
Implantable Glucose Sensor SoC and comparedbetween them based on different metrics. As a result, they
proposed a full system level SoC for non-invasive glucosemonitoring, which integrates biomedical sensor/s,
energyharvesting and power management units, low power SoC, andwireless RF transceiver.
Shaftab Ahmed, M Yasin Akhtar Raja et al. [16] proposed that Social networking activities have
created communities of users enjoying mobility and continuous connectivity in health, illness or excursion.
Wireless communication protocols have enabled the integration of e-healthcare solutions with the PDAs, mobile

phones, IPad and laptops. While information availability and user interest is growing a number of issues require
attention. Some of them include Availability, Security, Quality of service, Fault Tolerance and Power
Management. The indigenous development of data acquisition boards for a hospital to support patient
monitoring from nursing console has been carried out. The scope of e-healthcare services will be extended to
Virtual Hospital concept to have all time connectivity through social networks.
Kyung-Soon Park, Nam-Jin Kim et al. [17] developed a PDA based personaldiabetes management
system. The diabetes require a fewtimes of self-test and sometimes emergency tests. PDA easy tocarry and
perform computing could provide more efficientand better quality medical services. The smaller size screenthan
PC was overcome by visualizing abstractive andimportant information. The system consisted of 4
mainmanagement menus of personal information, diet, exercise,and blood glucose, enabling the patient to self-
manage. Datainput from these 4 main menus are closely engaged with eachother to generate useful
information‟s being instantlyfeedback to the patient thus would encourage continuous andpersisting self-
management, eventually leading to a betterregulation of blood glucose. Personal motive to using thesystem
could also be raised by providing the obesity and thediabetes danger index evaluated from the physical data
andthe personal habit. Furthermore, the diet and exercisemanagement are capable of prediction of weight loss
toremind the patient of the importance of self-management.Remotemedical service through frequent
communication also enhanceshealth quality by improving self-management, point-of-care,and assurance of
disease control. Future developmentneeds to be performed for remote communication capabilitywith hospital
personnel to widen the scope of the presentsystem to successful mobile medicine using cloud computing.
Sepideh Poorejbari, Hamed Vahdat-Nejad et al. [18] concluded that the opportunities and challenges of
using cloud computing in healthcare sector and proposed important parameters in a cloud-based pervasive
healthcare system in more detail. In addition, a classification of different services and context types have been
suggested. Cloud computing offers potential opportunities for improving EHR adoption and provides an
altogether new generation of healthcare services. It also provides more flexibility, less expense, and more
efficiency in IT services. Cloud-based healthcare systems can create more vital solutions for preventive or
emergency care in cases such as chronic diseases like diabetes.Cloud-based pervasive healthcare is a new
paradigm in healthcare sector and has many potential and beneficial features, but there are still several problems
and challenges that need to be addressed by researchers in the future.
Myung-kyung Suh1, Jonathan Woodbridge et al. [19] developed WANDA, a three tier remotehealth
monitoring system and focused on increasing ease ofuse in order to improve patients‟ system adherence.
Thedeveloped system applies EM-based data discretization andApriori rule learning algorithms and finds
association rulesusing collected sensor readings with dynamic slidingwindows. They assumed that sensor
readings from patientsare Gaussian mixture and quantize continuous features andapplied Apriori algorithm
which efficiently finds relateddata using support values. The designed algorithmminimizes the number of action
items and reorganizes seriesof tasks for maximizing information gain.
Joseph George et al. [20] conveyed that the art researches in cloud computing and the possibilityto
utilize the cloud power in diabetes treatment and research. He then introduced a new concept of Blue Circled
Cloud, which is meant for centralized management of Diabetes via cloud. It is web based, flexible and easy to
use. Healso analysed the technical aspects of the concept. Through this, if the healthcare sector can achieve
some improvements in the area of Diabetes treatment and help the diabetic patients to improve their lifestyle.
R.P. Ambilwade, R.R. Manza et al. [21] concluded that there is a need for research in diagnosis of
diabetes which is helpful for medicalpractitionersand patients. Their paper discussed expert systems for both
diagnosing and treatment of diabetes. It clearly shows that, there are several expert systems developed which are
used either for diagnosis or treatment of diabetes. Majority of expert systems uses Pima Indian pregnant women
dataset for diagnosis purpose. However, some systems used the patient„s data from hospital. The methodologies
used for diagnosis/classification of diabetes are soft computing techniques like neural network, fuzzy systems.
VI. CONCLUSION
In this paper, a detailed survey been conducted on analysis and diagnosis of cloud computing based
healthcare for diabetes. It is so interesting that cloud computing though an emerging technology, found the core
of healthcare monitoring and management of all diseases and diabetes as such. Diabetes lays the foundation for
various malfunctioning of the important organs including kidney, heart, brain, liver, etc. and periodical analysis
of them is very essential. The annual heath report of various organs and periodical blood glucose level report of
the diabetic patient should made available with the doctor through cloud. Though the earlier medication of

diabetes was based on paper and pen, pictorial evaluation of the patient healthcare was not possible and with
cloud computing the doctors can make the pictorial analysis as shown in Fig.2,3,4,5. By storing the diabetes
patient‟s medication history in cloud, analysis and diagnosis of his timely health care can be made available to
the doctor 24x7 hours either through his mobile, IPad, Laptop or Desktop in remote areas. In-accordance with
security issue, more rigorous research is supposed to be conducted in-order to make in an efficient cloud
computing based healthcare for analysis and diagnosis of diabetes.
