Centuries ago, people died mainly due to wars, epidemics, low living standards, and poor medical care. Today, the main reason for people’s deaths is chronic diseases.
Providing adequate healthcare services is a massive challenge in remote and disaster areas. Fog computing may help to overcome this gap. It can reduce data transmission delays, power consumption, and network bandwidth.
Reporting
Building health monitoring system can help improve patient adherence and reduce healthcare costs. By providing patients with easy-to-use medical devices that enable them to monitor their health from the comfort of their homes, remote patient monitoring programs encourage frequent and consistent checkups and allow doctors to diagnose problems more quickly and accurately.
Implementation
Instructing patients to monitor health conditions at home rather than going into a hospital or clinic can reduce the risk of needless readmissions and help patients recover faster. This telemedicine primary care approach also improves access to care for populations living in remote or underserved areas.
Surveillance monitoring alerts staff when a patient’s condition has changed in ways that suggest deterioration. It complements other tools identifying patients who may deteriorate, such as risk prediction and early warning scores. However, the system must be reliable enough that clinicians trust it and are willing to respond quickly when it alarms. Specific alarm thresholds, annunciation delays (delays in activating the system after alarm trigger criteria are met), and directed notifications to only responsible clinicians minimize nuisance alarms and increase staff reaction times to life-saving events.
Develop a monitoring strategy based on the health model you have defined for your critical system flows and the workloads that comprise them. Ensure you can correlate platform-level metrics and logs, such as CPU percentage or request latency, with transaction data across all end-to-end applications and components in the workflow.
Data Collection
Modern technologies can facilitate medical care by facilitating remote monitoring of patients. Doctors can track a patient’s health indicators from their smartphone, tablet, or computer, and the system will send an alert if health indicators worsen.
This allows the patient to stay home instead of in a hospital and frees up beds for other people needing treatment. The system uses artificial intelligence to predict when health indicators worsen so the doctor can take action quickly.
This technology requires a lot of data to be accurate. Still, the process is much faster than in the past, thanks to advancements in sensor technology and data collection algorithms. The sensors used in healthcare-monitoring systems are usually small and quiet, with short data transmission delays and low power usage. They also use advanced telecommunications and secure storage for their data. The data is then sent to a database or server for analysis.
Analysis
Health monitoring systems reduce costs, improve patients’ care, and facilitate the work of medics. They help prevent disease, detect critical situations, and send alerts to doctors or family members.
The first step in analyzing a health monitoring system is understanding its structure. It includes understanding how the system’s components interact with each other. The physical view focuses on the physical interactions between hardware elements and explains how they are organized. It also evaluates attributes such as power consumption, performance, and scalability.
Another way to analyze a health monitoring system is to look at real-time data flow. It involves logging exceptions, faults, and warnings and monitoring the health of third-party services used by the system. In addition, it can perform endpoint monitoring by pinging each endpoint in the system following a set schedule and recording the results (success or failure). Lastly, it should record ambient performance data by examining background CPU usage and I/O factors.
