This in-depth book addresses a key void in the literature
surrounding the Internet of Things (IoT) and health. By
systematically evaluating the benefits of mobile, wireless, and
sensor-based IoT technologies when used in health and wellness
contexts, the book sheds light on the next frontier for healthcare
delivery. These technologies generate data with significant
potential to enable superior care delivery, self-empowerment, and
wellness management. Collecting valuable insights and
recommendations in one accessible volume, chapter authors identify
key areas in health and wellness where IoT can be used,
highlighting the benefits, barriers, and facilitators of these
technologies as well as suggesting areas for improvement in current
policy and regulations. Four overarching themes provide a suitable
setting to examine the critical insights presented in the 31
chapters: Mobile- and sensor-based solutions Opportunities to
incorporate critical aspects of analytics to provide superior
insights and thus support better decision-making Critical issues
around aspects of IoT in healthcare contexts Applications of
portals in healthcare contexts A comprehensive overview that
introduces the critical issues regarding the role of IoT
technologies for health, Delivering Superior Health and Wellness
Management with IoT and Analytics paves the way for scholars,
practitioners, students, and other stakeholders to understand how
to substantially improve health and wellness management on a global
scale.
This book focuses on interdisciplinary research in the field of
biomedical engineering and neuroscience. Biomedical engineering is
a vast field, ranging from bioengineering to brain-computer
interfaces. The book explores the system-level function and
dysfunction of the nervous system from scientific and engineering
perspectives. The initial sections introduce readers to the
physiology of the brain, and to the biomedical tools needed for
diagnostics and effective therapies for various neurodegenerative
and regenerative disorders. In turn, the book summarizes the
biomedical interventions that are used to understand the neural
mechanisms underlying empathy disorders, and reviews recent
advances in biomedical engineering for rehabilitation in connection
with neurodevelopmental disorders and brain injuries. Lastly, the
book discusses innovations in machine learning and artificial
intelligence for computer-aided disease diagnosis and treatment, as
well as applications of nanotechnology in therapeutic neurology.
This book offers examples of how data science, big data, analytics,
and cloud technology can be used in healthcare to significantly
improve a hospital's IT Energy Efficiency along with information on
the best ways to improve energy efficiency for healthcare in a cost
effective manner. The book builds on the work done in other sectors
(mainly data centers) in effectively measuring and improving IT
energy efficiency and includes case studies illustrating power and
cooling requirements within Green Healthcare. Making Healthcare
Green will appeal to professionals and researchers working in the
areas of analytics and energy efficiency within the healthcare
fields.
