My Smart Age with HIV: an innovative mobile and IoMT framework for patient's empowerment

摘要

In the My Smart Age with HIV (MySAwH) project~1, an innovative mobile and IoMT framework has been developed to empower patients via health promotion, assessing reduction in health deficit and improvement in quality of life. The MySAwH IoMT framework has been designed to expand the traditional healthcare infrastructure providing patient monitoring and support outside the hospitals. It allows the collection of patient's data from smartphone and wearable devices, the integration and analysis of the collected data, and provide real-time insights of patient's health status. Health coaches can monitor the patient's care path and establish a direct communication channel through an integrated secure chat system. This paper describes the MySAwH IoMT framework features and demonstrate how the IoMT, mobile and wearable technologies have been successfully exploited to provide: i) physicians with a continuous patient monitoring to measure the response to illness and the life quality improvement; ii) patients with an up to date insight of health conditions and a constant support via a direct communication with the health coaches.
