“…The focus will be shifted from the performance of a diagnosis or treating a patient in a clinical environment with a device, to data-driven solutions. The White Paper predicts that the future trend of internet technology will be a move from a fixed internet in the 1990s, to a mobile internet in the 2000s, and to "things connected to the internet" by 2020 [32,96].…”

Background: The evolution of names, from “medical informatics” to “connected health”, implies that the evolvement of technology in health care has been shifted from technology-oriented to healthcare-oriented implementation. Connected healthcare, a healthcare platform of remote monitoring and self-management through technological measures, is suggested to contribute to the efficiency, cost effectiveness, and satisfaction of healthcare recipient enhancement. However, limited understanding of related connected health (CH) terminology may constrain its implementation. Whether CH is a Buzzword only or a practice that can contribute to an ageing society is controversial. Objective: This study aims to distinguish CH-related terminology and to identify the trend of CH through reviewing its definition, initiation, development, and evolvement, in order to offer management insights and implications. The objective is to understand what is connected and who is cared about in the connected health model, so that better applications can be addressed for the benefit of society. Method: This study reviews the evolution of names, from “medical informatics” in the 1970s to “connected health” after 2000, as well as relevant literature of CH, including e-health, telemedicine, telehealth, telecare, and m-health, to discover the trend of technology-related healthcare implementation. The current status and issues facing CH will be presented and its future trends will be explored through reviewing how changes in healthcare are managed, in addition to its operation and practice. Issues of accessibility, quality, and cost will be discussed, as well as its market status. Results: Preconditions and requirements for implementing CH are identified to select a typical case to study. Areas with a complete business ecosystem, including advanced technology and medical services, a payment system, an ageing population, geographic isolation, integrated health, and social care, are prevalent. These findings may be beneficial to designing and establishing comprehensive CH implantation and environments. Conclusion: The evidence and tendency of technological convergence create a demand for innovation and partnering with start-up companies that offer a competitive advantage in innovation. Specifically, it is necessary to innovate both the public and private operation model of the CH ecosystem. This focus will be further explored in future work.

Acute coronary syndrome which could lead to a heart attack is a common and dangerous disease in many parts of the world. Telecare can accelerate the diagnosis of the disease to provide user information including his/her location in an emergency to a support unit, to reduce the treatment time. Therefore, it is essential to develop a smart telecare system that monitors the status of the user automatically in real-time. This paper has proposed and implemented a web-based smart telecare system. The architecture of this system is based on an architecture for smart care in a smart city. This system receives information from the user and uses linear regression to detect acute coronary syndrome at the initial stage of the disease. This information is descriptive and selected according to the opinion of the cardiologist. Also, in case of diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, the user's location is determined and sent to a support unit via email. The accuracy of this system is 77.5%. This accuracy is acceptable compared to the same system that predicts myocardial infarction. As the proposed system, unlike the comparator system, does not use electro cardio graphic signals (ECG), it can significantly reduce the time of diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome and its complications through early diagnosis of the disease and its notification. The innovation of this research is the presentation of an intelligent decision maker system that reports the hearth attack to the decision support system via an email message.

Pressure ulcers affect the quality of life and health level of patients while causing a cost increase for the health system. Despite all of this, there is no monitoring system for this disease, even though it is very common in hospitalized patients. To resolve this issue, in this work, we present a prototype for monitoring and caring of pressure ulcers, through an intelligent system based on wearable inertial devices. The system detects the position of patients with reduced mobility while in bed, walking, or standing; providing, to medical staff and caregivers, useful information by means of mobile devices, in particular: (i) A historical record of body activity and (ii) notifications when a single position persists for a prolonged period of time. The following contributions are presented in this paper. Firstly, a technological survey of healthcare systems applied to pressure ulcers is presented. Secondly, an architecture and a methodology for modelling wearable inertial sensors for classifying body position are proposed. Finally, experimental tests with real cases were conducted to evaluate machine learning approaches and to validate the position estimation of the case study developed with four participants.
