Remote video-to-video eye telemonitoring use case for glaucoma patients
No full textGlaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness globally and the second most common cause of avoidable visual impairment. It also holds a record in noncompliance to therapy from the patients in up to 50% of the subjects treated with anti-glaucoma eye drops. LiveCity e-Health is a European research program, which aims to provide better treatment and follow up of glaucoma patients at their home, through telemonitoring with high definition video-to-video (v2v) communication from the University Hospital. Secondly, it aims to reduce the cost of health and improve the city environment by decreasing the number of visits to the Hospital. For this purpose, a software application has been developed; the latter is easy to use for elderly people at home, and capable of keeping the medical history and digital records of every patient in the Glaucoma Department. In addition, a specific web camera with snapshot ability of high quality photo of the eye has utilised. Two patients have been initially enrolled in the study and the preliminary results are so presented. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2014
Video-to-video e-Health applications supporting medical use cases for remote patients
No full textInformation and Communication Technologies (ICT) relevant to health and healthcare systems can rise their effectiveness, expand quality of life and “reveal” innovation and novelty in modern health-related markets, thus implicating options for further growth. The broadly used term “e-Health” regularly implicates the use of ICT in health products, services to improve health of citizens, efficiency and productivity in healthcare delivery, and the economic and social value of health, in general. In this end, the LiveCity Project aims at empowering the citizens of a city to interact with each other in a more productive, efficient and socially useful way, by using high quality video-to-video (v2v) over the Internet. In this work, the LiveCity platform for e-Health is presented, along with two use cases for remote patients telemonitoring and emergency cases. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2014
A Model for an Innovative 5G-Oriented Architecture, Based on Small Cells Coordination for Multi-tenancy and Edge Services
No full textPart 12: 5G – Putting Intelligence to the Network Edge (5G-PINE)International audienceThe “core” aim of the SESAME EU-funded research project is to design and develop a novel 5G platform based on the use of Small Cells, featuring multi-tenancy between network operators and also attach to them edge cloud capabilities to be offered to both the network operators and the mobile users. SESAME aims at providing a fresh 5G mobile network architecture so as to support the ambitious goal of small cell virtualization, multitenancy and edge cloud services. In the present work we assess the fundamental SESAME components and their role in the respective systems, while analysing the initial framework of the essential relevant architecture to implement the critical targets of the respective approach. Finally we identify future potential extensions
