“…Due to the 'connected' nature of these devices and the growing availability of broadband internet, the idea of 'information to support the user' has been expanded beyond traditional medical sources and now provides a platform for communitybased solutions where users share experiences and advice on managing a condition [4]. More advanced mHealth concepts include the idea of using on-body biometric sensors to monitor people's health and to communicate these readings to their mobile device using wireless body area networks [5,6]. Data gathered and disseminated through these means can be used to augment diagnosis and monitoring processes [7].…”

Abstract.Mobile technologies, such as tablet devices, open up new possibilities for health-related diagnosis, monitoring, and intervention for older adults and healthcare practitioners. Current evaluations of cognitive integrity typically occur within clinical settings, such as memory clinics, using pen and paper or computer-based tests. In the present study, we investigate the challenges associated with transferring such tests to touch-based, mobile technology platforms from an older adult perspective. Problems may include individual variability in technical familiarity and acceptance; various factors influencing usability; acceptability; response characteristics and thus validity per se of a given test. For the results of mobile technologybased tests of reaction time to be valid and related to disease status rather than extraneous variables, it is imperative the whole test process is investigated in order to determine potential effects before the test is fully developed. Researchers have emphasized the importance of including the 'user' in the evaluation of such devices; thus we performed a focus group-based qualitative assessment of the processes involved in the administration and performance of a tablet-based version of a typical test of attention and information processing speed (a multi-item localization task), to younger and older adults. We report that although the test was regarded positively, indicating that using a tablet for the delivery of such tests is feasible, it is important for developers to consider factors surrounding user expectations, performance feedback, and physical response requirements and to use this information to inform further research into such applications.

“…In M2DM system, various analytic ways through knowledge agent were combined and used for the identification of abnormal situations. Also sending alarms, analysis results and real-time feedbacks to users are some benefits of this system [31][32][33][34][35][36]. Agents can be implemented on portable and mobile devices like PDA and use web services to interact with other systems.…”

Chronic diseases impose heavy burden and costs on the health industry in many countries. Suitable health procedures, management, and prevention of disease by continuous monitoring through modern technologies can lead to a decrease in health costs and improve people empowerment. Applying remote medical diagnosis and monitoring system based on mobile health systems can help significantly reduce health care costs and correct performance management particularly in chronic disease management. In this chapter, mHealth opportunities in patient monitoring with the introduction of various systems specifically in chronic disease are expressed. Also mHealth challenges in patient monitoring in general and specific aspects are identified. Some of the general challenges include threats to confidentiality and privacy, and lack of information communication technology (ICT), and mobile infrastructure. In specific aspect, some difficulties include lack of system interoperability with electronic health records and other IT tools, decrease in face-to-face communication between doctor and patient, ill-functioning of system that leads to medical errors and negative effects on care outcomes, patients, and personnel, and factors related to the telecommunication industry include reliability and sudden interruptions of telecommunication networks.

“…In recent years, improvements in wireless communication and sensor technologies have led researchers to develop a more advanced form of telemedicine that can allow monitoring at home instead of the clinic (Jones, Gay, & Leijdekkers, 2010). While this is an active area of research, the majority of work in this area focused on the technical challenges (battery power management, data processing, etc.)…”

Abstract AbstractMany countries have experimented with deploying remote obstetrics monitoring systems as a means of improving the quality of prenatal care. The next generation of remote obstetrics monitoring systems incorporate off-the-shelf equipment like commercial smartphones into their design, to not only reduce the cost of the monitoring equipment, but also to allow for greater flexibility by letting the patient perform monitoring herself, in the comfort of her own home. In this paper, we analyzed the security protections of recently proposed monitoring systems and proposed recommendations to improve the security of these systems.
