Public health goals can be achieved more meaningfully by the application of information communication technology (ICT) that helps in overcoming the bottlenecks of brick-and-mortar healthcare models. Online consultations, cloud-based health management solutions, smart service-supported diagnoses are some such examples. The present study attempts to explore the design and implementation of ICT-based holistic knowledge management systems (KMS) to address public health concerns at the national level. At any point in time, different management information systems (MIS) are being used by various public authorities that directly or indirectly impact PH. However, the data being generated by these MIS is “stove piped” into standalone, heterogeneous databases. Non-standardized data formats, incompatible IT systems, an aggravated sense of ownership by the agency that collects the data are some of the factors that further worsen the problem. To overcome these issues, based on the study of best practices and literature review, the review paper proposes a conceptual model, referred to as national health stack (NHS). NHS is a multilayered KMS designed to support evidence-based decisions of public health and would pave the way towards “Good Health and well being” (UN SDG 3) for All.","PeriodicalId":289226,"journal":{"name":"2019 ITU Kaleidoscope: ICT for Health: Networks, Standards and Innovation (ITU K)","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121360930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One sector in which there is a need to use white space frequencies is the healthcare sector because of existent protocols which are using it and the white space frequency is not as crowded as Wi-Fi. However, design simulations of wireless communication networks in white space frequencies have revealed dense network topology because of better signal propagation and penetration properties of white space frequencies. Consequently, communication networks designed in white space frequencies will require topology reduction for better communication and routing. Therefore, this paper proposes a link-based topology reduction algorithm to reduce a dense mesh network topology designed in white space frequencies into a sparse mesh network topology. The paper also proposes a network optimization function to introduce a hierarchical backbone-based network topology from the sparse network topology for better scalability. Performance evaluation on the proposed designs show that the designs can guide network engineers to select the most relevant performance metrics during a network feasibility study in white space frequencies, aimed at guiding the implementation process.","PeriodicalId":289226,"journal":{"name":"2019 ITU Kaleidoscope: ICT for Health: Networks, Standards and Innovation (ITU K)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121385657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in the global electronic health industry environment, one of the significant challenges is that the various medical institutions are independent of one another. Patients, doctors and medical researchers have significant barriers in accessing medical data. As an intervention strategy using blockchain principle, this paper explores the characteristics of blockchain which are applicable to the management of electronic health records (EHRs), and presents a credible blockchain-based electronic health records (CB-EHRs) management platform. A CB-EHRs platform is characterized by decentralization, data tamper-proof, collective maintenance mechanisms, security and credibility. This platform cannot only realize data sharing between medical institutions, but also ensures the privacy of users. This paper introduces the components of the CB-EHRs platformmodel and the implementation principle of its related functions. In addition, this paper also reviews and selects the delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT) consensus mechanism as a viable option for the CB-EHRs platform. Finally, by comparing with the Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) consensus mechanism and our research, we highlight the potential advantages of our proposed CB-EHRs platform in the medical domain.","PeriodicalId":289226,"journal":{"name":"2019 ITU Kaleidoscope: ICT for Health: Networks, Standards and Innovation (ITU K)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130143965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Along with the development of access technologies, rapid advances are also taking place in related areas, machine learning, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data. Availing healthcare in the developing countries is costly, time-consuming and, for populations located in remote areas, it also means adding in the cost of travel to nearby towns and cities where expert healthcare facilities are normally available. Leveraging ICT technologies, IoT systems for healthcare can bring affordable and quality healthcare to the population through e-health and m-health applications. The role of ICT technologies is paramount to the success of IoT applications for healthcare. Two such ICT access standards are the 3GPP-based 5G technology and IEEE-based Wi-Fi 6. However, challenges exist in the ecosystem that inhibit the realization of the full potential of these technologies.

However, recent methods involving the usage of wearable devices for activity monitoring offer limited solutions. To address this issue, we have proposed a system that incorporates a vision-based deep learning solution for elderly surveillance. This system primarily consists of a novel multi-feature-based person tracker (MFPT), supported by an efficient vision-based person fall detector (VPFD). The MFPT encompasses a combination of appearance and motion similarity in order to perform effective target association for object tracking. The similarity computations are carried out through Siamese convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and long-short term memory (LSTM). The VPFD employs histogram-of-oriented-gradients (HoGs) for feature extraction, followed by the LSTM network for fall classification. The cloud-based storage and retrieval of objects is employed allowing the two models to work in a distributed manner. The proposed system meets the objectives of ITU Focus Group on AI for Health (FG-AI4H)under the category, “falls among the elderly”. The system also complies with ITU-T F.743.1 standard, and it has been evaluated over benchmarked object tracking and fall detection datasets. The evaluation results show that our system achieves the tracking precision of 94.67% and the accuracy of 98.01% in fall detection, making it practical for health care system use. The HoG feature-based LSTM model is a promising item to be standardized in ITU for fall detection in elderly healthcare management under the requirements and service description provided by ITU-T F.743.1.","PeriodicalId":289226,"journal":{"name":"2019 ITU Kaleidoscope: ICT for Health: Networks, Standards and Innovation (ITU K)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127709864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
