The authors focus on ICT technologies and solutions for health management and healthcare applications, specifically emerging ICT to help reduce costs and improve healthcare quality, and healthcare trends in consumer empowerment and information-rich "Smart Care", with ubiquitous care access from anywhere, at any time, by any authorized person(s) when needed.
Split into two parts, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the concepts of e-health and delves into the processes carried out to store information, as well as the standards that are used; the authors explore applications and implementation of e-health systems, explaining in depth the types of wireless networks and security protocols employed to convert these systems into robust solutions avoiding any kind of data corruption and vulnerabilities.
- Presents e-Health from implementation at the physical level, to the communication level between different systems and sensors
- Considers all process security methods and the most relevant related standards
- Suitable for students, academics, researchers, and professionals involved in applications to improve health management and eHealth systems
Students, academics, researchers and professionals in the fields of the development, implementation, and evaluation of telemedical and eHealth systems, medical personnel, ICT applied to health technologies
