Systematic Predictive Analysis of Personalized Life Expectancy Using Smart Devices

Abstract

With the emergence of technologies such as electronic health and mobile health (eHealth/mHealth), cloud computing, big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT), health related data are increasing and many applications such as smartphone apps and wearable devices that provide wellness and fitness tracking are entering the market. Some apps provide health related data such as sleep monitoring, heart rate measuring, and calorie expenditure collected and processed by the devices and servers in the cloud. These requirements can be extended to provide a personalized life expectancy (PLE) for the purpose of wellbeing and encouraging lifestyle improvement. No existing works provide this PLE information that is developed and customized for the individual. This article is based on the concurrent models and methodologies to calculate and predict life expectancy (LE) and proposes an idea of using multi-phased approaches to the solution as the project requires an immense and broad range of work to accomplish. As a result, the current prediction of LE, which was found to be up to a maximum of five years could potentially be extended to a lifetime prediction by utilizing generic health data. In this article, the novel idea of the solution proposing a PLE on an individual basis, which can be extended to lifetime is presented in addition to the existing works.

Application of Smartphone Technologies in Disease Monitoring: A Systematic Review

“…Advancements in knowledge, science, and technology have been critical in curbing the global mortality rate and prolonging life expectancy [ 7 ]. Moreover, the progress in data science, such as big data analytics and cloud technologies, has enabled the development of personal life expectancy prediction models, which could be used to calculate health indexes from massive datasets collected over the years [ 8 ]. In recent times, the widespread application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the health sector has resulted in significant improvements in the healthcare delivery system, such as promoting patient-centred healthcare, improving quality of care, and educating health professionals and patients [ 9 ].…”

Web of Things Platforms for Distance Learning Scenarios in Computer Science Disciplines: A Practical Approach

“…As a consequence, paradigms such as Pervasive Computing [1] and the Internet of Things (IoT) [2] have taken advantage, and have rapidly gained ground in both professional and domestic fields, by means of the pervasive presence of these embedded devices that interoperate among them to share services and information [3,4]. However, due to this massive deployment of everyday objects, the security risks and threats could reach a global dimension.…”
