If the data is not stored appropriately, then the information that is repetitive in nature will be processed again and again. This will result in high processing time of data that could have been stored for future use. Thus, a robust infrastructure is needed that will be able to not only store high volumes of data but also be able process that data in very quick time frame. The large amount of data generated by the IoT devices also brings about the issue of security.…

Abstract—Chronic diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases are the major reasons of dies in the world. The World Health Organization announced that they are responsible for 63% of dying; with 29% have less than 60 old. Therefore, many recommendations are proposed to monitor the patients and help them to reduce the complications of these chronic diseases. However, such healthcare monitoring has a negative effect of limiting the patient’s lifestyle. Ambient intelligence (AmI), with its ubiquity, transparency, mobility, and context aware characterizations, is a promise solution for healthcare monitoring.…
According to Darzi (2014), the introduction of records sharing schemes is already transforming the medical landscape by reducing errors and improving care. Electronic health records are crucial because ACO’s mange the health of the patient, thus requiring patient care records on every patient in the system. Health information technology provides clinicians with accurate and complete information about a patient’s health and reduces the amount of paperwork for patient and physicians. Additionally, electronic records are an essential part of data recording for the physicians to see the past history of each patient. This would allow the health care staff to take data from all the sources and use it specifically to track and manage the patients.…
But in order to leverage this data, we need to analyze it and reach actionable insights. And here is where Healthcare Data Analytics…
Legal Jurisprudence Legal aspects of ehealth have been raised with concerns about the accuracy and unregulated status of this aspect of health innovation especially in industrial nation and there are ongoing debate, there seem to be a general agreement that there is need for a proper regulatory framework to be put in place and bio-data collected need to be protected with a universally acceptable privacy and data protection policies, this is to prevent the abuses of patients electronic health record and also prosecute cybernetic criminals who try to hack into health system without authorization. This legal aspect needs to be looked into in light of the growing cyber-threat and extremist and terrorist with the possibility of security breach…
Health care monitoring through smart phones has been increasing rapidly in recent years, due to its ubiquity, accessible and easy to use. However, quality and affordability of the health care systems are major problems around the globe. A large number of people with low income facing issues with the high cost of healthcare system; Moreover, many individuals are not able to get the quality of health care they need. The cost of healthcare monitoring in the United States alone is 393.5 billion in the year of 2005. According to, total medical cost is 4 million each year for non-cardiac cases.…
Today we will be going over some new movement in the healthcare field. One you will find out doesn’t even have a truly set definition of what it is. The others is behind the curve with rest of the services out there. This paper will be defining what Population Health is, Healthcare Information Technology is and what it is, and will be going over how healthcare Information technology can help Population Health in the future. Population Health is a new term being used in United States since 2003 and has been used in Canada for a while.…
Technology in health care has become an active participant in collecting, recording, or transmitting clinical data. There are various types of medical devices and technology used such as cardiovascular (tele) monitors, oxygen saturation monitors, intravenous pumps, feeding pumps, EKGs, ventilators, bed/chair alarms, security alarms and call bells. The purpose of medical-technical equipment is to support nursing care in detecting, prevent, monitor, treat, compensate for injury and disability or alleviate disease (Tunlind, 2015). However the Joint Commission announced their 2014 National Patient Safety Goal on clinical alarm safety due to the increasing amount of injuries and deaths that had occurred from ignoring alarms, turning alarms down…
Early as 2010 new “smart” technologies such as iCare: A Mobile Health Monitoring System for the Elderly were being developed at the School of Software, Dalian University of Technology in China. This system was being designed to use smart phones and wireless body sensors to aid in tracking physiological data for real time heath monitoring remotely. This quickly improves response time when the system is alerted to medical emergencies and aids in remotely, providing data for caretakers (Ziyu, Feng, Guowei, Lin, & Zhikui, 2010). High tech whole houses…
One key way that healthcare organizations can enhance security is to address the openings, or access points, in the network of devices. In your organization’s context, this means working closely with vendors of medical devices to be fully knowledgeable on the device, particularly how it connects to the network. Understanding this connection and proactively securing the device will keep the hospital a step ahead of cyber criminals. Another key way that your organization can be sure to secure data is to evaluate and undergo security training for all employees of the hospital. While security may sometimes be overlooked due to the nature of your employee’s work, the ubiquity of phishing scams and other similar attacks means that security needs…
Before taking this course, I never understood that healthcare informatics was so broad and complex. To my understanding, I was taking a computer course directed towards healthcare professionals. After reading the first chapter of our book, I realized that informatics within the medical field is essential to creating a successful and efficient healthcare setting. Technology has been ever-growing in our society, so it is important for healthcare professionals to understand how such applications could be beneficial when administering care while continuing to keep patient information confidential. This course will provide us, future medical professionals, with the basic concepts of health informatics and how to utilize those skills in everyday…
The innovation of the RFID chip or the Radio Frequency Identification has been a critical piece of technology that has been around since the 1950’s.. There are several methods of identification, but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a person or object, and perhaps other information, on a microchip known as identity chip. A microchip implant could be used as a virtual barricade, to limit movement, and even to act as a tag for prisoners. In the realm of medicine, it could be used to save medical records for patients, records that could be pulled up anywhere in case of an emergency. It could also be used to monitor people with Alzheimer’s disease.…
