The Potential Use of Mobile and Wearable Sensor Devices in the Management of ...Tim Delany
As the rate of information technology increases at an exponential rate, more and more devices and sensors which are capable of harnessing crucial data (such as vital signs) are being integrated into the healthcare ecosystem. The benefit of mobile technologies to intervene and improve health is increasingly becoming a topic of discussion. Through the use of examples from three primary chronic conditions, this report will critically analyse the scientific findings of the use of these sensors and the possible impact they might have on future diagnoses and improving the overall efficiency and accuracy of healthcare management. This report will specifically interrogate the multiple technologies which can be integrated for cardiovascular problems, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. The overall findings concluded that these novel technologies would provide considerable improvements to healthcare, but would have to overcome several obstacles prior to total integration. A cost-benefit analysis would have to be done to overcome the previous more traditional approach.

According to a report from MarketResearch.com, millions of new Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) will be added to health systems and the market segment is poised to hit $117 billion by 2020. Medical device manufacturers have traditionally focused on patient safety and time to market rather than security. Long FDA approval cycles mean that approved devices are often running outdated operating systems versions with known vulnerabilities and limited or no patching ability. This lack of adequate security in IoT and IoMT is why Gartner is predicting that by 2020 25% of all enterprise breaches will involve IoT. Securing IoMT requires close collaboration between biomedical and IT teams and a plan to address three core areas of IoMT security – physical, connection and data. This session will focus on practical steps to improving IoMT security without expensive infrastructure upgrades or wholesale legacy medical device replacements.
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.

A modern healthcare IoT platform with an intelligent medicine box along with sensors for health monitoring and diagnosis is proposed here. Health care services based on Internet of Things have great potential in medical field. In this paper, an intelligent home-based medicine box with wireless connectivity along with an android application (Health-IoT) that helps patients and doctors to be in a more close communication. The proposed platform has an intelligent medicine box that gives alerts for patients to take their medication at the right time. The box is wirelessly connected to internet to make timely updates about medicines which will be notified in the android application with in patient’s smartphone. The system automatically gives alarm so that the patient takes the right medicine at the right time. And if there are any vital signs noticed SMS alerts are given to the predefined guardian.
Recently, in many cases, the reason for a patient staying in the hospital is not that he or she actually needs active medical care. Often, the principal reason for a lengthy stay in the hospital is simply continual observation. Therefore, efforts have been made to avoid acute admissions and long lengths of stay in the hospital. In recent years, emergency admissions and long lengths of stay have become extremely costly. So the focus of health policy has shifted away from the provision of reactive, acute care toward preventive care outside the hospital. As models of care are redesigned, health economies are seeking to provide more care outside large acute centers. The drivers for this shift are two-fold; first, there is a quality-of-care issue and second, there is a resource allocation issue. Being cared for in a patient’s own home is a key aim of current U.K. government health policy and that is driven by an imperative to provide better quality care to people without the need to disrupt their lives. Investment in technologies that enable remote monitoring would lead to long-term gains in terms of hospital finances and patient care.
In this paper, a novel cloud-based WBAN health management system is introduced to. This system can be used for people’s health information collection, record, storage and transmission, health status monitoring and assessment, health education, telemedicine, and remote health management. Therefore it can provide health management services on-demand timely, appropriately and without boundaries.

Over a quarter of five-year-olds in the UK suffer from tooth decay – but fewer than ten percent of those children have been treated. It is important for your children to get into good habits early when it comes to their oral health. Dental problems can seriously affect them for the rest of their life, leading to pain, discomfort, and years of expensive medical procedures. With dental care free on the NHS until the age of 18, there really is no reason for a child’s teeth to be neglected.
Like so many aspects of a child’s development, the early stages are vital. It is better to prevent tooth decay than to cure it, and the sooner you set things in place, the quicker everything will become part of their daily routine.
So, get your child brushing! They’ll definitely thank you later when they have all their teeth in later life.

Internet-Of-Things Based Intelligent Home-centric Healthcare SystemIJTET Journal
In recent years, the world is facing a common problem that the number of elderly people is increasing. Hence providing In-Home Health Care Services for elderly people is very important. The medication non-compliance problem has caused a serious threat to public health. Wireless sensor networks are now being widely used to structure home health care systems. Here, an Internet-of-Things (IOT) based intelligent home centric health care system has been proposed which connects smart sensors attached to human body for physiological monitoring and intelligent pharmaceutical packaging for daily medication management. The proposed system involves three key blocks: Biopatch, a wearable biomedical sensor used for acquisition of biosignals, iMed Box which serves as gateway to gather patient‟s physiological information and provide a variety of medical services and iMed Pack, an intelligent medication administration system for timely delivery of medication to patient. Thereby this system provides remote prescription and medication non-compliance services. The medicine deficiency datas are send to the doctor‟s mobile instantly using android application, once the medicine are insufficient over there. Representatives of the hospital are send to fill the medicine in the medicine box. This proposed Home-Centric Health system brings about ubiquitous and personalized healthcare.
IoT technology is truly making a difference in the healthcare industry. The technology has the potential to radically revolutionize the entire industry. Its penetration is already being witnessed globally as traditional practices and instruments are replaced with cutting-edge, new, and accurate IoT devices.

Similar to Personal medical devices - Patient is the focus even when at home (20)
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image
