Healthcare Management and Prediction of Future Illness Through Autonomous Intelligent Advisory System Using AAT Computational Framework

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Enabling Person-Centric Healthcare Using Ambient Assistive Technology

Abstract

The various technological evolutions in IT healthcare systems have transformed from Electronic Health Records (EHR) to personalized health support systems with ambient assistive technologies (AAT). This chapter focuses on Healthcare management tools and techniques with a major focus on technological innovations and disruptions; services and tools; Recommendation systems in health care; The proposed Autonomous Intelligent Advisory System termed as H-Pilot using the Social Internet of Things (SIOT) computational framework. SIoT framework in H-Pilot is an integrated application that supports the flow of app information from interconnected apps in various verticals. It provides various AAT services like Alerts and recommendations, activity monitoring with reports, communication among various devices, feedback support, navigation, and emergency health monitoring through various autonomous existing apps. The information must be blended to generate overall actions to increase efficiency and effectiveness to satisfy the tasks and needs of the individuals with personalized recommendations for improving the QOL. To make the study’s contributions more evident, a sample user story is depicted to show the usage of the H-Pilot enabling person-centric healthcare using Ambient Assistive Technologies.
