Health Monitoring Using Mobile Phones
[attachment=66024]
Introduction
The consumers and healthcare service providers using smart phones are growing exponentially throughout last decade.
The adoption of this technology is rapid; two-thirds of physicians and 42% of the public used smartphones as of late 2009. [1]
As of February 2010, there were nearly 6,000 such apps within the Apple App Store.
Of these, 73% were intended for use by consumer or patient end-users, while 27% were targeted to healthcare professionals.
Initial Work
Vital signs are the most basic functions that can be measured from a person.
Provide health monitoring at home, which is particularly useful for patients, who have to live alone.
Focused on the automatic and unobtrusive measurement of biomedical signals and activities of patients.
Ubiquitous health monitoring is an important precursor for analysis and diagnosis, as it allows biomedical signals to be measured without the individual’s awareness.
Characteristics
Wearable health monitoring systems integrated into a telemedicine system
Continuous monitoring as a part of a diagnostic procedure
Support Early Detection of Abnormal Conditions and Prevention of Its Serious Consequences
Provides Supervised Recovery From an Acute Event or Surgical Procedure
Conclusion
Through this presentation we have given a overview of the various works done in mobile health and some differences between them.
There is a high penetration in the health sector with the advent of new range of smart phones and better customizable OS.
Mobile health monitoring system is here to stay for the future.
Mobile health is not just monitoring, it will and should grow as a user community to help each other and serve efficiently during emergency situations.
