Abstract
Background: Because of the health systems globalization, it is important to examine health systems organization in Africa, in terms of patient care, to highlight the failures and propose possible solutions. Objective: Modeling based on the Internet of Things (IoT) an Integrated Network for Monitoring Patient Data in West African Health Systems. Methodology: To achieve this, three steps have been followed. 1) Identification of the different characteristics of IoT-based health surveillance systems, WBAN systems and physiological parameters monitorable on a patient. 2) The modeling of the architecture of West African health systems in the form of a cloud of Technocentres. 3) Cross analysis between different IoT technologies, characteristics and functional requirements identified. All this is based on wireless medical sensor networks in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) systems. Result: This work has been used to model health systems in Africa as a remote monitoring network for patients. Conclusion: The implementation of this model of monitoring networks will be a tool for supporting large-scale decision-making for a health system in Africa. It will enable the West African health system to have an information database.
Highlights
The current challenges and goals of information and communication technologies (ICTs) are to provide effective and efficient healthcare
For better monitoring of patients in African health systems, we propose an architecture integrating the different levels of each health system facilitated by a cloud of technocentres from remote monitoring networks
Faced with the challenges of the West African health systems and in particular, the Beninese health system, which are (i) to provide quality health care to a growing population, (ii) to optimize the availability of health care personnel, and (iii) to utilize patient health data in a more predictive health system; we proposed in this work an integrated Internet of Things (IoT) architecture for patient monitoring and the functional architecture of the hospital platform whose implementation could revolutionize the West African health systems in general and Benin in particular
Summary
The current challenges and goals of information and communication technologies (ICTs) are to provide effective and efficient healthcare. Some research has been done on the clinical applications of these technologies in remote healthcare surveillance architectures for long-term management, registration, and clinical access to patient physiological information Based on these current technological advancements, it is easier to plan or schedule your physical examination, which is preceded by a period of a few days of continuous monitoring of your physiological state with less expensive wireless medical sensors. Objective: Modeling was based on the Internet of Things (IoT) an Integrated Network for Monitoring Patient Data in West African Health Systems. (3) Cross analysis between different IoT technologies, characteristics, and identification of any functional requirements All this was based on wireless medical sensor networks in the WBAN systems.
