TIPPSS for Facilitating Connected Healthcare Interoperability

ABSTRACT

The processing power of mobile devices including medical devices has increased substantially, so much so that devices that needed to connect to computers within the hospital for processing power now have significant amounts of processing power and memory on the own. The leverage of mobile, new technologies requires security that adapts to new scenarios. The invention of the Continuous Glucose Meter represents a breakthrough for diabetics, allowing them to manage their diet and insulin more precisely. A Clinical IoT trend, which has been accelerated by the COVID-19 Pandemic, has been the transition of acute care from the hospital to Long-Term Acute Care facilities and/or the home. In dealing with severely infectious patients, healthcare workers are at a significantly greater risk of infection than the overall population due to their frequency and time in contact with the infected patients. To resolve the issues of interconnectedness between healthcare components, businesses, government organizations worked to create standard methods for reducing paper-based healthcare records. © 2022 selection and editorial matter, Sherri Douville;individual chapters, the contributors.
