This book focuses on using analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to offer a high-quality value proposition to address dementia, a growing and concerning global healthcare problem. By enabling better decision-making support, minimizing medical errors and use of specific treatment strategies, digital technologies are key to effective care for People Living with Dementia (PLWD). By taking a unique triumvirate approach of focusing simultaneously on people issues, technical issues and process issues, the critical success issues are identified.The first point of concern is the different major stakeholders, including PLWD, their family carer, their challenges and major barriers and facilitators. Next, the vast pool of digital tools is considered, such as the different forms of mobile, platforms, sensors, IoT, chatbots, avatars, robots, augmented reality, virtual reality and mixed reality. This leads next to looking at the important considerations for the design and development of digital health solutions for priority areas of action in the Global Action Plan on Dementia, including co-design and research. By using a global perspective, the international examples help to better appreciate culture and practices, as countries differ significantly regarding many key issues pertaining to healthcare delivery. The editors endeavour to cover all areas pertinent to leveraging digital health solutions to facilitate the realization of value-driven healthcare delivery for all healthcare systems.This book is a new and comprehensive text, which would serve as an important resource for practitioners and professionals in healthcare and would be beneficial as a supplementary text for students undertaking studies relating to health informatics and public healthcare.

An in-depth overview of the emerging concept; Mobile Health (mHealth), mHealth Multidisciplinary Verticals links applications and technologies to key market and vendor players. It also highlights interdependencies and synergies between various stakeholders which drive the research forces behind mHealth. The book explores the trends and directions where this vertical market is headed. Divided into nine sections, the book covers a number of multidisciplinary verticals within the field of mHealth such as: Preventive and curative medicineConsumer and patient-centric approachesPsychological, behavioral, and mental verticalsSocial perspectivesEducation, adoption, and acceptanceAged care and the aging populationRegional, geographical, and public-health perspectivesTechnology implicationsCloud applicationsThe book collates emerging and diverse mHealth applications into a single resource. The result of extensive research, the book is a collaborative effort between experts from more than 20 countries, who have been carefully reviewed and selected by the team of reviewers. It takes a multidisciplinary approach to health informatics and provides a roadmap to current and future directions of mHealth.

This book offers a comprehensive report on the technological aspects of Mobile Health (mHealth) and discusses the main challenges and future directions in the field. It is divided into eight parts: (1) preventive and curative medicine; (2) remote health monitoring; (3) interoperability; (4) framework, architecture, and software/hardware systems; (5) cloud applications; (6) radio technologies and applications; (7) communication networks and systems; and (8) security and privacy mechanisms. The first two parts cover sensor-based and bedside systems for remotely monitoring patients’ health condition, which aim at preventing the development of health problems and managing the prognosis of acute and chronic diseases. The related chapters discuss how new sensing and wireless technologies can offer accurate and cost-effective means for monitoring and evaluating behavior of individuals with dementia and psychiatric disorders, such as wandering behavior and sleep impairments. The following two parts focus on architectures and higher level systems, and on the challenges associated with their interoperability and scalability, two important aspects that stand in the way of the widespread deployment of mHealth systems. The remaining parts focus on telecommunication support systems for mHealth, including radio technologies, communication and cloud networks, and secure health-related applications and systems.  All in all, the book offers a snapshot of the state-of-art in mHealth systems, and addresses the needs of a multidisciplinary audience, including engineers, computer scientists, healthcare providers, and medical professionals, working in both academia and the industry, as well as stakeholders at government agencies and non-profit organizations.
