Proposal Using the Cloud Architecture in System for the Early Detection of Infectious Diseases in Elderly People Fed by Biosensors Records

Telemonitoring System for Infectious Disease Prediction in Elderly People Based on a Novel Microservice Architecture

“…The present work provides a new vision of what has already been carried out in the aforementioned studies, since our contribution is oriented towards the context of medical telemonitoring focused on microservices (SPIDEP) within the field of infectious diseases of elderly patients, with the aim of allowing for the design, development and implementation of services based on a layered architecture in microservices [5], [14]. The objective of this proposal is to offer regular remote monitoring of vital signs by medical personnel [9]. Preventive care can minimise the severity of infectious processes, consequently reducing the resources necessary to adequately control the problem [14].…”

“…A very important problem affecting this group of people is the frequent use of emergency services or prolonged hospital stays, caused mostly by infections [5] and especially respiratory and urinary infections [6 -8]. This is due to the characteristics of the patients; however, these patients tend to go to the emergency room at relatively advanced stages of disease [9]. In many cases, these patients have non-specific neurological symptoms, general symptoms or other problems that are apparently not related to the infection [7].…”

“…This study was focused on three target groups (acute respiratory infections, urinary tract infections and skin and soft tissue infections). The article presented is also based on previous works in the computation sciences area realized by the partners of the SPIDEP project [4 -6], [9], [14].…”

“…It should be noted that this study aims to contribute to increasing knowledge in the pre-diagnosis of infectious diseases and offer an alternative vision of telemonitoring of elderly people, with the support of ICTs, by the medical team [5], [6], [9]. This present work aims to incorporate and improve the results obtained from the previous studies that have achieve several significant advances for the medical and health care team, which are: the process of taking measurements is very fast, managing to collect and send the measurement data in less than 2 minutes.…”

“…This present work aims to incorporate and improve the results obtained from the previous studies that have achieve several significant advances for the medical and health care team, which are: the process of taking measurements is very fast, managing to collect and send the measurement data in less than 2 minutes. These features are essential for the wellness of the resident, who perceives the personal care without discomfort [9] and also the quality of health care grows as well as the satisfaction of residents, relatives and nursing personnel [6]. Another important advantage of the speed of the measurement process is that it increases the productivity of the nursing staff, increasing the residents/elderly assistant ratio [5].…”
