Analyzing health conditions using sensors is one of the daily activities in a healthcare organization. The purpose of this research is to improve the e-healthcare formulated through the integration of wearable smart sensors and miniaturized devices. In this research, monitoring glucose level of the diabetic is considered as an example of the non-linear problem in which we show that accuracy and...

Healthcare is fundamental to personal life and social/economic development in society. The challenges resulted from population growth and aging have placed a considerable strain on the traditional healthcare system. Recent advances in smartphone based mobile devices and wearable/implanted body sensors have enabled mobile healthcare, which provides higher global coverage, lower cost, and easier ...

Connected health devices are generally designed for unsupervised use, by non-healthcare professionals, facilitating independent control of the individuals own healthcare. Older adults are major users of such devices and are a population significantly increasing in size. This group presents challenges due to the wide spectrum of capabilities and attitudes towards technology. The fit between capa...

Officials from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommended that hospitals and other healthcare employers adopt measures, including the use of needleless and safe-needle devices, to prevent injuries and illnesses from accidental needlesticks in the workplace. “Today’s healthcare workforce faces a multitude of risks,” said NIOSH Director Linda Rosenstock, MD, MPH....

----------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-----------------------------------------------------------The Internet of Things (IoT), is a concept that describes how objects that we are used in daily life will interact and negotiate with other objects over the internet. The amount of devices with Wi-Fi capabilities and built-in sensors keeps on increasing. IoT c...

Committing to exercise regularly is not an easy task. Following evaluation investigate the adequacy of gamification techniques within wearable devices by analyzing the multiple aspects of gamification, wearable technologies, and the healthcare industry. Gamification is not about learning how to play a game; instead gamification emphasizes using game mechanics or elements in a non-gaming system ...

The absence of compassion, argues the author, is not the cause of healthcare failures but rather a symptom of deeper systemic failures. The clinical encounter arouses strong emotions of anxiety, fear, and anger in patients which are often projected onto the clinicians. Attempts to protect clinicians through various bureaucratic devices and depersonalization of the patient, constitute as Menzies...

A biometric sensor device is the potential product of the forthcoming biotechnology for real-time tracking of physiological signals to support various healthcare and medical services such as homecare medical service, prevention, diagnosis, and follow-up services. A key agreement scheme between biometric sensor devices is a fundamental requirement to support the security of the healthcare and me...
