“…Data input into portable devices may be difficult while wearing examination gloves, 32 although it is possible to design stylus-based input devices that can be used while wearing hazmat suits 12 . The use of speech recognition to control telemedicine systems is problematic because users’ speaking styles change when they are in an emergency situation 20 . No cost-benefit analyses were found, but the cost of new equipment is likely to be a barrier to uptake 30…”

Mobile health care technology (mHealth) has the potential to improve communication and clinical information management in disasters. This study reviews the literature on health care and computing published in the past five years to determine the types and efficacy of mobile applications available to disaster medicine, along with lessons learned. Five types of applications are identified: (1) disaster scene management; (2) remote monitoring of casualties; (3) medical image transmission (teleradiology); (4) decision support applications; and (5) field hospital information technology (IT) systems. Most projects have not yet reached the deployment stage, but evaluation exercises show that mHealth should allow faster processing and transport of patients, improved accuracy of triage and better monitoring of unattended patients at a disaster scene. Deployments of teleradiology and field hospital IT systems to disaster zones suggest that mHealth can improve resource allocation and patient care. The key problems include suitability of equipment for use in disaster zones and providing sufficient training to ensure staff familiarity with complex equipment. Future research should focus on providing unbiased observations of the use of mHealth in disaster medicine.

“…Three use cases are selected to illustrate the diverse settings in which they may be deployed and the privacy and security issues they pose for their environments. The Carson Springs mobile health platform illustrates the benefits of using mobile devices at remote points of care, and leveraging big data analytics to streamline the collection and delivery of patient health information in emergency care situations (Wouhaybi et al., ). Developed at the Oregon Health & Science University in collaboration with Intel, the platform provides a mobile patient context management framework for telemedicine applications, which can support a variety of patient‐centric sensing applications.…”

Mobile health (mHealth) platforms offer a promising solution to some of the more important problems facing the current healthcare system. This paper examines some of the key challenges facing mHealth with a focus on privacy and security issues. In the first part of the paper, the security engineering process is described, which can assist healthcare organizations in developing an architecture-level protection strategy that is compliant with privacy and security legislation and industry initiatives. In the second part of the paper, use cases are selected to illustrate the diverse security architecture contexts in which the protection strategy will be deployed, and to emphasize the importance of integrating security across these contexts. In the third part of the paper, industry and government security best practices are discussed, which can assist healthcare organizations in implementing security architectures to meet their specific privacy and security requirements.

With the ageing population, mobility is an important issue and it deters the elderlies to visit health clinics on a regular basis. Individuals with disabilities also face the same obstacles for their out-of-home medical visits. In addition, people living in remote areas often do not get the needed health care attention unless they are willing to spend the time, effort and cost to travel. Advances in information and telecommunication technologies have made telemedicine possible. Using the latest sensor technologies, a person's vital data can be collected in a smart home environment. The bio-information can then be transferred wirelessly or via the Internet to medical databases and the healthcare professionals. Using the appropriate sensing apparatus at a smart home setting, patients, elderlies and people with disabilities can have their health signals and information examined on a realtime and archival basis. Recovery process can be charted on a regular basis. Remote emergency alerts can be intercepted and responded quickly. Health deterioration can be monitored closely enabling corrective actions. Medical practitioners can therefore provide the necessary healthrelated services to more people. This paper surveys and compiles the state-of-the-art smart home technologies and telemedicine systems.
