Summary:

This book presents e-Health, from its implementation at the physical level to the networks of communication between the different systems and sensors involved, as well as the most relevant solutions at the application layer. The authors focus on ICT technologies and solutions for health management and healthcare applications. Part 1 presents electronic health records as we know them. By presenting the related standards and other initiatives, the reader will find a comprehensive introduction to the concepts of e-Health and to the processes carried out to store information. Part 2 explores emerging technologies and applications in the health sector, the different types of wireless networks and the security protocols employed to ensure robust systems which can avoid data corruption and other vulnerabilities. This book is aimed at students, academics, researchers and professionals involved in improving health management and e-Health systems. Book jacket.
