Smart health monitoring systems: an overview of design and modeling.
TLDR
The main aim is to review current state of the art monitoring systems and to perform extensive and an in-depth analysis of the findings in the area of smart health monitoring systems.Abstract:
Health monitoring systems have rapidly evolved during the past two decades and have the potential to change the way health care is currently delivered. Although smart health monitoring systems automate patient monitoring tasks and, thereby improve the patient workflow management, their efficiency in clinical settings is still debatable. This paper presents a review of smart health monitoring systems and an overview of their design and modeling. Furthermore, a critical analysis of the efficiency, clinical acceptability, strategies and recommendations on improving current health monitoring systems will be presented. The main aim is to review current state of the art monitoring systems and to perform extensive and an in-depth analysis of the findings in the area of smart health monitoring systems. In order to achieve this, over fifty different monitoring systems have been selected, categorized, classified and compared. Finally, major advances in the system design level have been discussed, current issues facing health care providers, as well as the potential challenges to health monitoring field will be identified and compared to other similar systems.read more

Elderly persons’ perception and acceptance of using wireless sensor networks to assist healthcare
TL;DR: The exploratory findings indicate that independence is highly valued by elderly people and hence any system or technology that can prolong that independence tends to be highly regarded, and there are also indications that cost may be the most prominent determinant influencing an elderly person's acceptance of WSNs.
