One of the most promising technologies to enhance the quality of life of quadriplegia patients is smart home environments. Security has a paramount importance for all health information systems, but it is generally overlooked until a major security breach occurs. Especially in an application specifically targeting people with disabilities, ignoring security might have dire consequences therefore we think that proactive measures should be taken by system designers. In this paper, we present SHA, a secure voice activated smart home for quadriplegia patients. The principal contribution of our system lies behind the security mechanisms incorporated in the proposed smart home architecture which has an integrated framework including ambient assistance and remote health monitoring.

Intelligent Healthcare Monitoring based on a Semantic Interoperability Platform (SAPHIRE)
Doğaç, Asuman(2008-6-30)
The SAPHIRE project aims to develop an intelligent healthcare monitoring and decision support system on a platform integrating the wireless medical sensor data with hospital information systems. In the SAPHIRE project, the patient monitoring will be achieved by using agent technology where the ¿agent behavior¿ will be supported by intelligent clinical decision support systems which will be based on computerized clinical practice guidelines, and will access the patient medical history stored in medical infor...
IoT-Based Real-Time updating multi-layered learning system applied for a special care context during COVID-19
Erişen, Serdar (2022-12-01)
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for increased research, this study aimed to develop a real-time learning system to provide infection control for residential special care contexts and in doing so, explored different crowdsourcing technologies, spatial usages, and data processing methods within the scope of smart health-care systems and environments. Experiments were conducted in the selected special care indoor environment, which was fitted with sensors and Internet of Things devices, from ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is now being used increasingly in transportation, healthcare, agriculture, smart home and city systems. IoT devices, the number of which is expected to reach 25 billion all over the world by 2021, are required to be deployed very fast, taking into account commercial pressures. This results in a very important layer, i.e. security, being either completely neglected or having significant shortcomings. Since IoT has a heterogeneous structure, there is a need for intrusion detection...
Understanding the perception towards using mHealth applications in practice: Physicians' perspective
Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner (2018-03-01)
The objective of this study was to investigate physicians' perceptions to use mobile health applications in practice, and to identify influencing factors to use the technology. An mHealth technology acceptance model was proposed (M-TAM), and a cross-sectional survey was implemented using structured questionnaire to collect data. Online tools were used for inviting participants (physicians) and data collection from Turkey. The data was analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation...
