Title: Healthcare Cyber-Physical System (H-CPS) is More Important than Before

Abstract:

The healthcare system has evolved from traditional healthcare to telemedicine, connected-health (cHealth), electronics health (e-health), mobile-health (mHealth), to smart health (sHealth). The demand for remote healthcare is getting important than ever as evident from the situations in the hospitals during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. Smart healthcare built using Internet-Medical-Things (IoMT) is a key component in smart cities which can provide better and advanced medical facilities to the patients. IoMT, a specific instance of IoT, is a configurable dynamic network of networks, available anywhere, anytime, by anything and anyone. Smart healthcare provides many advantages which are called 7Ps including personalized care and participatory care. Smart healthcare is further evolving with the help of healthcare Cyber-Physical System (H-CPS) that integrates IoMT, electronic health record (EHR), and artificial intelligence (AI)/ machine learning (ML) analytics obtained from sensor data and/or EHR. H-CPS consists of various components including sensors, biosensors, electronics, wearables, implantables, networks, EHR, machine learning (ML) analytics, middleware, firmware, and software. This talk will present detailed insight of IoMT based smart healthcare built as a H-CPS. The talk will address many questions about IoMT/H-CPS based smart healthcare including:

  1. What is IoMT or Internet-of-Health-Things (IoHT)?
  2. What is Healthcare H-CPS?
  3. What are the critical components of IoMT/H-CPS?
  4. What are the challenges of design and operation of IoMT/H-CPS?
  5. What is smart healthcare?
  6. What are the security, privacy issues and their solutions in smart healthcare?
  7. Is edge computing or cloud computing better for smart healthcare?
  8. Can H-CPS help in contact tracing during pandemic?
