“…Moreover, “authorized” users, such as nurses, do not trigger the alarm. Identification of the class of users , such as child vs. adult. In [41] we present how capacitive sensing on multiple segments of the object can be used to detect a pattern of the contact interface that can be used to detect if the person handling the object is an adult or a child. In the case of the smaller number of known users (e.g., family members), the system can identify individuals using the object.…”

Wearable monitoring and mobile health (mHealth) revolutionized healthcare diagnostics and delivery, while the exponential increase of deployed “things” in the Internet of things (IoT) transforms our homes and industries. “Things” with embedded activity and vital sign sensors that we refer to as “smart stuff” can interact with wearable and ambient sensors. A dynamic, ad-hoc personal area network can span multiple domains and facilitate processing in synergistic personal area networks—SPANs. The synergy of information from multiple sensors can provide: (a) New information that cannot be generated from existing data alone, (b) user identification, (c) more robust assessment of physiological signals, and (d) automatic annotation of events/records. In this paper, we present possible new applications of SPANs and results of feasibility studies. Preliminary tests indicate that users interact with smart stuff—in our case, a smart water bottle—dozens of times a day and sufficiently long to collect vital signs of the users. Synergistic processing of sensors from the smartwatch and objects of everyday use may provide user identification and assessment of new parameters that individual sensors could not generate, such as pulse wave velocity (PWV) and blood pressure. As a result, SPANs facilitate seamless monitoring and annotation of vital signs dozens of times per day, every day, every time the smart object is used, without additional setup of sensors and initiation of measurements. SPANs creates a dynamic “opportunistic bubble” for ad-hoc integration with other sensors of interest around the user, wherever they go. Continuous long-term monitoring of user’s activity and vital signs can provide better diagnostic procedures and personalized feedback to motivate a proactive approach to health and wellbeing.

Medical IoT devices that use miniature sensors to collect patient’s bio-signals and connected medical applications are playing a crucial role in providing pervasive and personalized healthcare. This technological improvement has also created opportunities for the better management of personal health information. The Personal Health Information Management System (PHIMS) supports activities such as acquisition, storage, organization, integration, and privacy-sensitive retrieval of consumer’s health information. For usability and wide acceptance, the PHIMS should follow the design principles that guarantee privacy-aware health information sharing, individual information control, integration of information obtained from multiple medical IoT devices, health information security, and flexibility. Recently, blockchain technology has emerged as a lucrative option for the management of personal health information. In this paper, we propose eHealthChain—a blockchain-based PHIMS for managing health data originating from medical IoT devices and connected applications. The eHealthChain architecture consists of four layers, which are a blockchain layer for hosting a blockchain database, an IoT device layer for obtaining personal health data, an application layer for facilitating health data sharing, and an adapter layer, which interfaces the blockchain layer with an application layer. Compared to existing systems, eHealthChain provides complete control to the user in terms of personal health data acquisition, sharing, and self-management. We also present a detailed implementation of a Proof of Concept (PoC) prototype of eHealthChain system built using Hyperledger Fabric platform.

Ubiquitous availability of Internet connectivity IoT enabled medical devices and advances in electronic health records have given rise to massive amounts of personal health data. However, being sensitive in nature, there are stringent legal requirements related to the sharing and processing of personal health data. There is a growing trend of using Personal Information Management System (PIMS) to gather, store, manage, and provide secure and privacy-aware access to personal data. Recently, blockchain technology has emerged as a lucrative option for personal health information management. In this chapter, we propose a layered architecture for a blockchain-based PIMS for managing data originating from medical IoT devices. The proposed architecture has four layers as follows: (1) A blockchain layer that provides functionality to implement and host blockchain database; (2) An IoT device layer that consists of electronic data devices such as health watch, weighing scale, and blood pressure measurement sensors; (3) An application layer that collects data from the health devices and displays consolidated data view to the user; and (4) An adapter layer that has a responsibility of interfacing an application layer with the blockchain layer. The proposed architecture is extensible to accommodate additional electronic devices and services and it is also language and platform agnostic. We are currently building a Proof of Concept (PoC) prototype for validating proposed architecture using Hyperledger Fabric platform.
