Download or read book Healthcare and Medical Apps written by Paul Love and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-21 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's a quiet revolution (or maybe "evolution" is more accurate) going on in the healthcare industry.Over the last ten years over 250,000 mobile healthcare apps have appeared on the scene - and that's only the beginning. According to estimates from Zion Market Research the market for mHealth (mobile health) apps will top $100 billion worldwide in 2018. With smartphones and tablets becoming an essential part of our lives it makes sense to provide apps for those devices that can help organize your medical records, monitor your health, alert you to a possible medical problem, and help connect you to a healthcare professional.So how do smartphones function as medical devices? The cameras, microphones, and other sensors built into smartphones are improving all the time and can already be used to help diagnose certain illnesses The microphone for example, can be used to help detect asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder). There are also apps that use the camera and flash to diagnose blood disorders such as iron and hemoglobin deficiency. Smartphones can even by used to detect conditions such as osteoporosis by using the phone's motion sensor.Doctors and medical researchers are also turning to smartphone technology as an efficient way to handle electronic health data. Having patients collect data relating to their medical condition by using a smartphone app can make it much easier for a physician to form a diagnosis and to follow up on the effectiveness of the treatment the patient is undergoing. And that same data collected from many different patients can be a gold mine for medical research personnel, providing them with a massive database of clinical information never available before.This book covers just a few of the many different types of mobile health apps available on the market today. Dozens more (including many that offer new and more advanced technology) are being added everyday. Consider this book a sampler - and, if you're interested in building a mobile health care app yourself, you'll also find some introductory information about building your own app. Welcome to the future of healthcare!

This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pervasive healthcare is an emerging research discipline, focusing on the development and application of pervasive and ubiquitous computing technology for healthcare and wellness. Pervasive healthcare seeks to respond to a variety of pressures on healthcare systems, including the increased incidence of life-style related and chronic diseases, emerging consumerism in healthcare, need for empowering patients and relatives for self-care and management of their health, and need to provide seamless access for healthcare services, independent of time and place. Pervasive healthcare may be defined from two perspectives. First, it is the development and application of pervasive computing (or ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence) technologies for healthcare, health and wellness management. Second, it seeks to make healthcare available to anyone, anytime, and anywhere by removing locational, time and other restraints while increasing both the coverage and quality of healthcare. This book proposes to define the emerging area of pervasive health and introduce key management principles, most especially knowledge management, its tools, techniques and technologies. In addition, the book takes a socio-technical, patient-centric approach which serves to emphasize the importance of a key triumvirate in healthcare management namely, the focus on people, process and technology. Last but not least the book discusses in detail a specific example of pervasive health, namely the potential use of a wireless technology solution in the monitoring of diabetic patients.
Download or read book Assessment of Technology Adoption Potential of Medical Devices written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information and communication technologies hope to revolutionize the healthcare industry with innovative and affordable solutions with a focus on pervasive care. Wearable sensors products can provide monitoring in a natural environment with a constant stream of information, enriching healthcare practices and enabling better pervasive care. Wearable sensor technologies could monitor patients' mobility, gait, tremor, daily activity and other health indicators in real time that could allow for simple, non-invasive, tracking of spine care that may lead to increased patient engagement, integration, feedback, post-surgery analysis, monitoring of patient's condition, patient's data extraction and analysis and possibly aiding in better diagnosis, intervention, adherence to treatment for the betterment of quality of care. This research focuses on the assessment of technology adoption potential of medical devices particular to tracking the mobility of patients of neurosurgery and orthopedics. Wearable medical devices that track the mobility of patients after spinal procedures could help surgeons in providing post-operative care, analysis of treatment outcomes and patient mobility. The assessment of those devices by physicians is a complex process associated with various perspectives and criteria. Therefore, the objective of this research is to assess the potential for technology adoption of those wearable medical devices through development of a hierarchical decision-making model (HDM) that incorporates the relevant perspectives and criteria encompassing the needs of hospital neurological surgery and orthopedics departments. The proposed research builds on an existing body of knowledge researched through literature review and background of the field and expands the health technology assessment field by implementation of a holistic, comprehensive and multi-perspective approach to technology assessment in wearable sensor products adoption for pervasive care in neurosurgery and orthopedics. The Hierarchical Decision Model (HDM) approach is used to break the problem down into hierarchical levels and then calculate the alternatives using pairwise comparison scales and a judgment quantification technique. Inconsistencies, disagreement, sensitivity and scenario analysis are performed as well. HDM research software is created with Ruby and R to facilitate the computation of some of these important model parameters to higher precision than is available in current statistical analysis software packages or extensions targeted for decision making. Patient perspective dominates as the main perspective for the technology adoption potential of wearable devices for pervasive care in neurosurgery and orthopedics, followed by technical and financial perspectives. Valedo, a wearable device aimed to relieve back pain through exercises, motivation and mobility tracking, received the highest ranking for adoption potential, while other devices also received high relative scores. The framework could serve as a supplementary technology assessment tool and could be tested in other settings: private, small clinic etc. with the experts and special needs of physicians in particular healthcare departments.
