Summary

Unobtrusive monitoring systems and wearable technologies are rapidly evolving and their use in healthcare, exercise activity monitoring, and performance assessment is promising. Wearable sensors and unobtrusive systems development have been fostered by a combination of advances in materials, fabrication techniques, electronic engineering, IoT technologies, wireless networks. Such systems may find application in the measurement of a range of physiological parameters and physical activity, in disparate scenarios and at different scopes.

    Abstract The COVID-19 outbreak and its medical distancing phenomenon have effectively turned the global healthcare challenge into an opportunity for Telecare Medical Information Systems. Such systems employ the latest mobile and digital technologies and provide several advantages like minimal physical contact between patient and healthcare provider, easy mobility, easy access, consistent patient engagement, and cost-effectiveness. Any leakage or unauthorized access to users’ medical data can have serious consequences for any medical information system. The majority of such systems thus rely on biometrics for authenticated access but biometric systems are also prone to a variety of attacks… More >
