In this paper, COVID 19 centre monitoring and management system has been proposed and integration of different sensor network with Internet of Things (IoT). The sensors implemented can communicate with data collection and processing unit. The data collection done by that unit can directly transferred to cloud using internet connectivity at COVID 19 centre. Therefore work aimed to propose COVID 19 centre management with IoT based approach to handle medical services and patient monitoring and treatment work flow. In the experimented model, Node MCU ESP8266 controller and temperature sensor (DHT11) are integrated. A system has capability to monitor and control COVID 19 centre services and patient monitoring via remote connection. It is evaluated with three temperature sensors connected to measure temperature of patients. Mobile based blynk has been utilized for the cloud based IoT implementation. Sensor sends data over blynk server and then can be seen anywhere using smart phone application. In addition, when patient get fever more than regular value, an alert was sent to authority in a quick time. After results, it is indicated that the developed system has effective potential to work in pandemic situation and has technological feasibility. The benefits of implemented research methods are useful in digital health management in pandemic scenario. Even hospitals, COVID centers, intensive care unit (ICU) can be operated effectively and patient diagnosis application based on online database has wide scope in the area of internet of things and patient health management.

<p class="Abstrak">Akuaponik adalah penggabungan sistem budidaya akuakultur dan hidroponik yang dapat menjadi solusi untuk mengatasi keterbatasan lahan, keterbatasan sumber air serta meningkatkan ketahanan pangan. Pada sistem akuaponik, kualitas air pada budidaya ikan merupakan salah satu syarat utama dalam keberhasilan proses budidaya. Penelitian ini mengkombinasikan peternakan lele dengan penanaman kangkung hidroponik. Kotoran ikan lele dan sisa makanan terakumulasi di air dan dapat menjadi racun bagi ikan lele karena mengandung kadar anomia yang tinggi sehingga sangat berbahaya jika tidak dibuang. Air ini kemudian dialirkan ke tanaman kangkung hidroponik melalui biofilter yang bermanfaat sebagai pengurai air kotor dari kolam menjadi nitrat dan nitrit yang berguna sebagai nutrisi tanaman. Selanjutnya setelah air menjadi bersih dan mempunyai kadar oksigen yang tinggi, air tersebut dialirkan kembali ke kolam ikan lele. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan sistem cerdas pada budidaya akuaponik dengan memanfaatkan teknologi <em>Internet of Things</em><em> </em>yang dilengkapi dengan beberapa jenis sensor untuk memantau dan mengendalikan kualitas air dengan menerapkan algoritma Sistem Inferensi Fuzzy /<strong><em> </em></strong><em>Fuzzy Inference System </em>(FIS) untuk mengatur kecepatan sirkulasi air kolam agar menghemat daya listrik pada pompa<em>.</em> Peralatan ini juga dilengkapi dengan layanan pemberian pakan ikan secara otomatis yang dapat diprogram sesuai kebutuhan.

Pengujian yang dilakukan terhadap perbandingan keputusan oleh pakar dan sistem FIS pada kecepatan sirkulasi air sistem akuaponik menunjukkan nilai akurasi 83,33%, dan hasil dari pengujian ketepatan alat pemberi pakan yang dibuat secara otomatis terhadap ketepatan pemberian pakan secara manual memiliki nilai akurasi 90,97%.</p><p class="Abstrak"> </p><p class="Abstrak"><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p class="Judul21"><em><span lang="IN">Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture and hydroponic cultivation systems that can be a solution to overcoming limited land, limited water sources and increasing food security. In the aquaponics system, water quality in fish farming is one of the main requirements in the success of the cultivation process. This research combines catfish farming with hydroponic kale cultivation. Catfish feces and food scraps accumulate in water and can be toxic to catfish because they contain high levels of anomia so it is very dangerous if not disposed of. This water is then flowed to hydroponic kale plants through a biofilter which is useful as decomposing dirty water from the pond into nitrates and nitrites which are useful as plant nutrients. Furthermore, after the water becomes clean and has high oxygen levels, the water is flowed back into the catfish pond. This study aims to develop a smart system in aquaponic cultivation by utilizing Internet of Things technology which is equipped with several types of sensors to monitor and control water quality by applying the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) algorithm to regulate the speed of pool water circulation in order to save electric power on the pump. This equipment is also equipped with an automatic fish feeding service which can be programmed as needed. This aquaponics system can be monitored via the web or an Android-based smart phone. Tests carried out on the comparison of decisions by experts and the FIS system on the water circulation speed of the aquaponics system show an accuracy value of 83.33%, and the results of testing the accuracy of the feeder that is made automatically against the accuracy of manual feeding have an accuracy value of 90.97% .</span></em></p><p class="Abstrak"><em><strong><br /></strong></em></p>

This article reflects on the changing nature of health information access and the transition of focus from electronic health records (EHRs) to personal health records (PHRs) along with the challenges and need for alignment of national initiatives for EHR and PHR in the National Health Service (NHS) of the UK. The importance of implementing integrated EHRs as a route to enhance the quality of health delivery has been increasingly understood. EHRs, however, carry several limitations that include major fragmentation through multiple providers and protocols throughout the NHS. Questions over ownership and control of data further complicate the potential for fully utilising records. Analysing the previous initiatives and the current landscape, we identify that adopting a patient health record system can empower patients and allow better harmonisation of clinical data at a national level. We propose regional PHR ‘hubs’ to provide a universal interface that integrates digital health data at a regional level with further integration at a national level. We propose that these PHR hubs will reduce the complexity of connections, decrease governance challenges and interoperability issues while also providing a safe platform for high-quality scalable and sustainable digital solutions, including artificial intelligence across the UK NHS, serving as an exemplar for other countries which wish to realise the full value of healthcare records.

Greenhouse is an agricultural technology to protect plants from uncertain weather, with the Greenhouse will be able to maintain and distribute temperature, soil moisture, sunlight, and air humidity evenly with an optimal level. Even so the environmental conditions inside the Greenhouse will always change due to the influence of the weather environment outside the Greenhouse which is uncertain, so there is a need for monitoring so that plants inside the Greenhouse can grow optimally. With IoT (Internet of Things) technology, Greenhouse farmers do not need to visit the Greenhouse to monitor and control the environment inside the Greenhouse. This is because with the IoT technology Greenhouse farmers can monitor and control v1ia an Android smart phone. The things that can be monitored are temperature, humidity of the room, soil moisture, sunlight, water discharge, and soil moisture, besides that farmers can also control the temperature and humidity of the Greenhouse environment, as well as the provision of water to plants in the Greenhouse. The system used in this study uses ESP32 as a control center and uses DHT11, Soil Moisture, as a sensor to measure IoT temperaturei, humidityi and soil moisture in the greenhousei. As a control in the greenhouse there are two control outputs, namely water pump 1 and water pump 2. ESP32 will read the temperature, humidity and soil moisture sent from the DHT11 sensor which will determine whether the water pump will turn on or not. To read the soil moisturei sensor used is capacitivei soil moisturei, if the soil moisture reaches a predetermined threshold, the water pump 2 will turn on and drain the water into a poly bag through drip drops.

Summary Background: Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is currently spreading exponentially around the globe. Various digital health technologies are currently being used as weapons in the fight against the pandemic in different ways by countries. The main objective of this review is to explore the role of digital health technologies in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and address the gaps in the use of these technologies for tackling the pandemic. Methods: We conducted a scoping review guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. The articles were searched using electronic databases including MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane Library, and Hinari. In addition, Google and Google scholar were searched. Studies that focused on the application of digital health technologies on COVID-19 prevention and control were included in the review. We characterized the distribution of technological applications based on geographical locations, approaches to apply digital health technologies and main findings. The study findings from the existing literature were presented using thematic content analysis. Results: A total of 2,601 potentially relevant studies were generated from the initial search and 22 studies were included in the final review. The review found that telemedicine was used most frequently, followed by electronic health records and other digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the internet of things (IoT). Digital health technologies were used in multiple ways in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including screening and management of patients, methods to minimize exposure, modelling of disease spread, and supporting overworked providers. Conclusion: Digital health technologies like telehealth, mHealth, electronic medical records, artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and big data/internet were used in different ways for the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic in different settings using multiple approaches. For more effective deployment of digital health tools in times of pandemics, development of a guiding policy and standard on the development, deployment, and use of digital health tools in response to a pandemic is recommended.

AbstractChildren with epilepsy often have impairments in cognitive and behavioral functioning which may hinder socio-occupational well-being as they reach adulthood. Adolescents with epilepsy have the added worry of health problems while starting the transition from family-centered pediatric care into largely autonomous adult care. If this transition is not appropriately planned and resourced, it may result in medical mistrust, nonadherence, and worsening biopsychosocial health as an adult. In recent years, there has been increased availability of digital health solutions that may be used during this stark change in care and treating teams. The digital health landscape includes a wide variety of technologies meant to address challenges faced by patients, caregivers, medical professionals, and health care systems. These technologies include mobile health products and wearable devices (e.g., seizure monitors and trackers, smartphone passive data collection), digital therapeutics (e.g., cognitive/behavioral health management; digital speech–language therapy), telehealth services (e.g., teleneurology visits), and health information technology (e.g., electronic medical records with patient portals). Such digital health solutions may empower patients in their journey toward optimal brain health during the vulnerable period of pediatric to adult care transition. Further research is needed to validate and measure their impact on clinical outcomes, health economics, and quality of life.

: Iran has been one of the active countries fighting against HIV/AIDS in the Middle East during the last decades. Moreover, there is a strong push to strengthen the national health management system concerning HIV prevention and control. In Iran, HIV disease has its unique features, from changes in modes of transmission to improvement in treatment and care programs, which can make it a good case for closer scrutiny. The present review describes the HIV epidemic in Iran from the first case diagnosed until prevention among different groups at risk and co-infections. Not only we addressed the key populations and community-based attempts to overcome HIV-related issues in clinics, but we also elaborated on the efforts and trends in society and the actual behaviors related to HIV/AIDS. Being located in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, given the countryspecific characteristics, and despite all the national efforts along with other countries in this region, Iran still needs to take extra measures to reduce HIV transmission, especially in health education. Although Iran is one of the pioneers in implementing applicable and appropriate policies in the MENA region, including harm reduction services to reduce HIV incidence, people with substance use disorder continue to be the majority of those living with HIV in the country. Similar to other countries in this region, the HIV prevention and control programs aim at 90-90-90 targets to eliminate HIV infection and reduce the transmission, especially the mother-to-child transmission and among other key populations.

BACKGROUND Digital health (DH) innovation ecosystems (IE) are key to the development of new e-health products and services. Within an IE, third parties can help promote innovation by acting as knowledge brokers and the conduits for developing inter-organisational and interpersonal relations, particularly for smaller organisations. Kolehmainen’s quadruple helix model suggests who the critical IE actors are, and their roles. Within an affluent and largely urban setting, such ecosystems evolve and thrive organically with minimal intervention due to favourable economic and geographical conditions. Facilitating and sustaining a thriving DH IE within a resource-poor setting can be far more challenging even though far more important for such peripheral economics and the health and well-being of those communities. OBJECTIVE Taking a rural and remote region in the UK, as an instance of an IE in a peripheral economy, we adapt the quadruple helix model of innovation, apply a monitored social networking approach using McKinsey’s Three Horizons of growth to explore: • What patterns of connectivity between stakeholders develop within an emerging digital health IE? • How do networks develop over time in the DH IE? • In what ways could such networks be nurtured in order to build the capacity, capability and sustainability of the DH IE? METHODS Using an exploratory single case study design for a developing digital health IE, this study adopts a longitudinal social network analysis approach, enabling the authors to observe the development of the innovation ecosystem over time and evaluate the impact of targeted networking interventions on connectivity between stakeholders. Data collection was by an online survey and by a novel method, connection cards. RESULTS Self-reported connections between IE organisations increased between the two waves of data collection, with Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and academic institutions the most connected stakeholder groups. Patients involvement improved over time but still remains rather peripheral to the DH IE network. Connection cards as a monitoring tool worked really well during large events but required significant administrative overheads. Monitored networking information categorised using McKinsey’s Three Horizons proved to be an effective way to organise networking interventions ensuring sustained engagement. CONCLUSIONS The study reinforces the difficulty of developing and sustaining a DH IE in a resource-poor setting. It demonstrates the effective monitored networking approach supported by Social Network Analysis allows to map the networks and provide valuable information to plan future networking interventions (e.g. involving patients or service users). McKinsey’s Three Horizons of growth-based categorisation of the networking assets help ensure continued engagement in the DH IE contributing towards its long-term sustainability. Collecting ongoing data using survey or connection card method will become more labour intensive and ubiquitous ethically driven data collection methods can be used in future to make the process more agile and responsive.
