Temporal Informative Analysis in Smart-ICU Monitoring: M-HealthCare Perspective

Abstract

The rapid introduction of Internet of Things (IoT) Technology has boosted the service deliverance aspects of health sector in terms of m-health, and remote patient monitoring. IoT Technology is not only capable of sensing the acute details of sensitive events from wider perspectives, but it also provides a means to deliver services in time sensitive and efficient manner. Henceforth, IoT Technology has been efficiently adopted in different fields of the healthcare domain. In this paper, a framework for IoT based patient monitoring in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is presented to enhance the deliverance of curative services. Though ICUs remained a center of attraction for high quality care among researchers, still number of studies have depicted the vulnerability to a patient's life during ICU stay. The work presented in this study addresses such concerns in terms of efficient monitoring of various events (and anomalies) with temporal associations, followed by time sensitive alert generation procedure. In order to validate the system, it was deployed in 3 ICU room facilities for 30 days in which nearly 81 patients were monitored during their ICU stay. The results obtained after implementation depicts that IoT equipped ICUs are more efficient in monitoring sensitive events as compared to manual monitoring and traditional Tele-ICU monitoring. Moreover, the adopted methodology for alert generation with information presentation further enhances the utility of the system.

A secure remote health monitoring model for early disease diagnosis in cloud-based IoT environment

“…The security necessities also were addressed in this work. Likewise, an IoT-based framework for tracking the patient's condition in ICU was introduced in [21]. Also, in [22], an ECG tracing technique in IoT context was designed, through wearable bio-sensors for direct medical data transition to the cloud storages.…”

A medical monitoring scheme and health‐medical service composition model in cloud‐based IoT platform

“…For instance, a cloud‐based approach was presented in the work of Vukićević et al that combined meta‐learning framework to rank and choose the best predictive methods for big data technologies to analyze biomedical data. Moreover, Bhatia and Sood offered an IoT‐based framework for patient tracking in ICU. The authors presented a solution rely on monitoring of different events via temporal associations, besides time sensitive alert generation process.…”
