Using Suitable Body Sensors to Control Disease

A remote patient monitoring system provides physicians as well as other caregivers the means to view their patients’ medical statuses at any time. These wearable devices monitor a patient’s vital signs, including his or her heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, glucose levels and weight. Remote patient monitoring of chronically ill patients can lower hospital readmission rates: Healthcare providers receive the critical information they need to recognize problems before such issues become life threatening.

The use of mobile technology in the healthcare industry has exploded in the last ten years. Mobile health or mHealth, provides an entire new aspect of the relationship between patients and their doctors and other medical providers. Mobile devices place important and critical information into a medical professional’s hands in real-time. Doctors can monitor a patient’s condition more frequently, allowing them to make better and more informed decisions and diagnoses.

As consumers utilize smartphones, tablets, and other devices for other functions like social media and email, they are starting to look at these features to assist them with their healthcare. Mobile body area network devices will be a growing trend in the coming years as a way to get patients engaged in their healthcare and also to give providers routine updates on the status of patients with chronic conditions. As DeGaspari (2014) indicates, these devices can lead to improved functionality for other devices used in hospitals, such as sensors for monitoring patients that might get up and wander or be a fall risk. Telemedicine will continue to grow as payers, providers, and patients all start to realize the mutual benefits that can be

Technology is the key to the future of health care and the world. Technology is doubling every few years and with these advancements of modern medicine, many lives will be saved. Our book explains one of these emerging technology advancements, Telecare. Telecare is “the remote delivery of healthcare services into the person’s home facilitated by communication technologies that include the use of person-centered reactive monitoring devices.”(Hebda & Czar, 2013, p. 506) This advancement in healthcare will allow patients who are house bound receive the care they deserve. In addition to telecare, electronic aspirin is another emerging technology.

The typical daily cost for single in patients in hospitals was over $1,700 in 2013, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation [10]. Remote monitoring products such as the BodyGuardian provide the healthcare advantages such as the option to move patients to their home and retain monitoring of their status by doctors and nurses. A paper [11] proposes an original, IoT-aware, smart architecture for automatic monitoring and tracking of patients, personnel, and biomedical devices within medical

Patient wearables offer an excellent example of this new doctor/patient partnership. Patients can not only be monitored by their physicians, they can monitor themselves as wearables present not only data concerning heart rate and blood pressure, but personal information regarding everything from diet to the quality of last night’s sleep. This brings the patient into the loop and encourages him or her to take more responsibility.

The main objective of this project is to design a device prototype that requires for the development of company own system, supports the existing app to monitor health by its branded product functionality, and replaces currently using market beacons. In order to make the design of a device prototype, the company is collaborated with another company, named “Morpho Synthesis Inc. Toronto”. In Morpho Synthesis Inc., we used the following analytical tools to design our project’s implementation

The process our prototype package covers is how to assess the state of a patient's essential body functions using vital signs. In order to check a patient's vital signs you must assess their temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate and blood pressure. This process is used by college students who are pursuing a career in the medical field. The part of this process we will be showing is how to properly check someone's pulse and respiration rate.

This technological advancement facilitates the potential use of a \ac{WHTD} as a solution to relieve the burden on the health care system. The \ac{WHTD} refers to the devices which are capable of monitoring the physiological signs (e.g., heart activity, \ac{ECG}, \ac{EMG}, blood pressure, body temperature, oxygen saturation, etc.) of the human body and its surrounding environment (e.g., light, humidity, temperature, etc.) using a number of sensors located on or/and in the human body using \ac{BAN} \cite{movassaghi2014wireless,bangash2014survey,jovanov2011body}. This has been employed in various applications, such as military and sports training, \ac{HCI}, entertainment (interactive gaming), home and office automation, environmental monitoring, and \ac{VR}. It has also shown a tremendous potential as a personal healthcare system, which can provide services such as remote patient and elderly people monitoring, activity monitoring, rehabilitation, and disability assistance services as these devices can monitor health status seamlessly in real-time without disturbing users daily life. Consequently, major \ac{ICT} companies are introducing various wearable devices and services with Personalised Health Data management systems. Apple iWatch with HealthKit, Samsung Galaxy fit and Samsung Digital Health, and Google Fit are some of the

This technology would help doctors easily monitor their patients at the hospital as well as after they are released. They would be able to not only record a patient’s heart rate but also their body temperature, the patients would also be able to prick their finger with a utensil in the watch. The watch would be able to do a basic analysis of the blood and it would be sent to their doctor so that the patient would not be required to constantly

A weighing scale and a blood pressure monitor is wirelessly connected to a phone, which automatically transmits information to data center. The portability of the device gave patient more freedom and mobile. The study showed an improvement with self-maintenance (TM > UC, p=0.03) and better compliance with therapy; which then lead to improved quality of life QOL (TM > UC, p = 0.05). There is also an improvement in post- study in BNP decreased by 150 pg/mL (p = 0.02); LVEF increased by 7.4% (p = 0 .005); Self-care maintenance increased by 7 points (p = 0.05); management increased by 14 points (p=0.03); while the UC did not. No differences between the TM and UC in terms of hospitalization, mortality, or ER

This author believes by moving the healthcare from hospitals and healthcare centers to the people home can potentially open up new opportunities to continuously monitor and adjust treatment and prevention plans accordingly. Healthcare cost is enormous and continually increasing, by integrating IoT to daily life of people, healthcare providers can detect and monitor the health of people in real-time and apply better preventive methods to reduce health risk factors and consequently the cost of care. The IoT can help people to manage their own life better by knowing their health status in real-time and adjust their lifestyle habits accordingly. The Patient with chronic disease like type I diabetes can continuously monitor their blood glucose level

The profusa biosensor is able to monitor multiple diseases/conditions from tracking chemicals in the body. These include diabetes, Peripheral arterial disease, heart attacks and heart failures. The occurrence of these diseases/conditions, can change the oxygen, glucose levels or blood pressure in the body. The biosensor could potentially result in faster treatment for paramedics when in contact of an unconscious person. The paramedics would be able to look at the patient's’ biomarkers stream and will help them to treat the patient faster, potentially saving their life. In hospitals, it could help aid doctors to better monitor a patient’s health. The profusa biosensor allows the doctor to keep track of the patients’ health even when sent home.

The reason for this paper is to plan, create, and portray of an a bracelet monitoring observing gadget for blood spillage location amid the hemodialysis treatment. The configuration incorporates a photograph interrupter, a Bluetooth 4 remote module, control, and ready parts. The acceptance results demonstrate that it just needs a little measure of blood (0.01 ml), and takes 1.6 s to recognize a blood spillage. Besides, the lifetime of the battery on this gadget is longer than the right now accessible business items. It can persistently give out an alarm for 18-h long and constantly screen up to 41 h. Moreover, the transmission scope of Bluetooth remote sign can be stretched out to 23 m. For whatever length of time that the patients wear this
