The Relationship

Traditionally, the relationship between the company and its providers have for objective to generate value at the company side in exchange of money. This relationship is largely investigated through the vector of value chain. In this article, security and privacy cocreation (SPCC) is investigated as a specialization of value cocreation. Although it is an important research topic, and despite a plethora of research aiming at depicting the fundamental of SPCC, few contributions have been appeared until now in the area of a language to support SPCC design and deployment. However, such a language is necessary to describe elements of the information system, as well as their underlying dependencies. As a result, this article proposes extending an existing enterprise architecture language to support the process of decision-making and to allow understanding and analysis of the impacts associated to a change of the system architecture as a whole.

Conventional intrusion detection mechanisms face serious limitations in identifying heterogeneous and distributed type of intrusions over the IoT environment. This is due to inadequate resources and open deployment environment of IoT. Accordingly, ensuring data security and privacy are tough challenges in the practical context. This manuscript discusses various aspects of networking security and related challenges along with the concepts of system architecture. Further, endeavored to define a machine learning model that outlines two heuristics called Intrusion Scope Heuristic ( ), and benign scope heuristic ( ), which further uses in predictive analysis to identify the IOT network transaction is prone to intrusion or benign. The experimental study revealed the significance of the proposal with maximal detection accuracy, and minimal miss rate.

Internet Of Healthcare Things

In this chapter, the major enhanced techniques of internet of healthcare things (IoHT) with wearable sensor technologies (WST), stationary medical devices (SMD), and integrated system technologies (IST) for heterogeneous healthcare professionals are explored. A detailed view of the system architecture for developing IoHT device and a lot of issues are also described. The latest innovative technologies are realistic to specific purposes in the field of healthcare assessment. Analysis, sensor, and data studies approach the opportunities to improve personal healthcare and benefits for the medical industry. The ultimate aim of succeeding superior healthcare practice is to competently combine with information from diverse bases, to allocate the accumulated data, to retrieve the collected data. Effective data analysis tools from data with initialed conception services are needed while maintaining their security and privacy. Healthcare professionals, patients, and clients can take benefit of the IoHT for giving personalized smart care guidelines or solutions for existing technologies.

Set Up

Distributed sensors allow people to be followed in independent living situations. In this paper, the authors present a multisensor system which allows monitoring elderly people in hospital environment. The system is composed of motion infrared sensors installed in the ceiling, presence sensor in bed and ZigBee tags embedded on the person. From data collected on locations and movements of people, the system determines, through learning, the behavior model and lifestyle. Analysis and decision algorithm in integrated systems provide the functionality to choose actions in order to alert surveillance team and help them by providing historical events record. A web application is also set up to display results of data processing allowing caregivers to monitor patient behavior. Here, they present the system architecture, the technology used, and some preliminary results.

This teaching case is based on a true situation at the Hospital for Sick Children, in Toronto Canada. The case asks students to either assume the role of the CIO or to advise the CIO in making a decision to outsource IT at Sick Kids Hospital. The case requires students to understand three important issues: First, while health care costs continue to increase, automation of information is an important opportunity to streamline patient care and reduce costs in a hospital environment. Second, IT outsourcing, relying on external service providers to deliver complex technology services, is a fundamental business strategy across all industries and has great potential in the health care industry. Third, hospitals and health care have unique requirements for IT outsourcing, particularly the critical importance of patient data security and privacy.

In this paper we present a server-based positioning system to track assets in a hospital environment, using Bluetooth low energy technology. The need to easily and quickly find equipment is undeniable and can sometimes be a life or death situation. We present the system architecture and the components we rely on to calculate distance and equipment coordinates. The main purpose of this solution is to allow medical personnel to find an equipment through a desktop computer in the hospital floor. We also present tests made with several materials that are present in a hospital environment and that can influence the signal.

Background: Assessment of suicide attempters in a general hospital may be influenced by the condition of the patient and the unfavorable circumstances of the hospital environment. Aims: To determine whether the results of a reassessment at home shortly after discharge from hospital differ from the initial assessment in the hospital. Methods: In this prospective study, systematic assessment of 52 suicide attempters in a general hospital was compared with reassessment at home, shortly after discharge. Results: Reassessments at home concerning suicide intent, motives for suicide attempt, and dimensions of psychopathology did not differ significantly from the initial hospital assessment. However, patients’ motives for the suicide attempt had changed to being less impulsive and more suicidal, worrying was significantly higher, and self-esteem was significantly lower. A third of the patients had forgotten their aftercare arrangements and most patients who initially felt no need for additional help had changed their mind at reassessment. Conclusions: Results from this group of suicide attempters suggest that a brief reassessment at home shortly after discharge from hospital should be considered.
