Delivering Superior Health and Wellness Management with IoT and Analytics

This in-depth book addresses a key void in the literature surrounding the Internet of Things (IoT) and health. By systematically evaluating the benefits of mobile, wireless, and sensor-based IoT technologies when used in health and wellness contexts, the book sheds light on the next frontier for healthcare delivery. These technologies generate data with significant potential to enable superior care delivery, self-empowerment, and wellness management. Collecting valuable insights and recommendations in one accessible volume, chapter authors identify key areas in health and wellness where IoT can be used, highlighting the benefits, barriers, and facilitators of these technologies as well as suggesting areas for improvement in current policy and regulations.Four overarching themes provide a suitable setting to examine the critical insights presented in the 31 chapters:

• Mobile- and sensor-based solutions
• Opportunities to incorporate critical aspects of analytics to provide superior insights and thus support better decision-making
• Critical issues around aspects of IoT in healthcare contexts
• Applications of portals in healthcare contexts

A comprehensive overview that introduces the critical issues regarding the role of IoT technologies for health, Delivering Superior Health and Wellness Management with IoT and Analytics paves the way for scholars, practitioners, students, and other stakeholders to understand how to substantially improve health and wellness management on a global scale.

Prof Nilmini Wickramasinghe is the inaugural ProfessorDirector Health Informatics Management at Epworth HealthCare and the Professor of Digital Health and Deputy Director of the Iverson Health Innovation Research Institute at Swinburne University as well as an honorary Professor at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. After studying at the University of Melbourne, she accepted a full scholarship to undertake PhD studies in the US in Management of Information Systems as they relate to healthcare contexts. For over 20 years she has been actively, researching and teaching within the health informatics domain. Her particular focus is on designing and developing suitable models, strategies and techniques grounded in various management principles to ensure that technology solutions effect superior, value-based, patient centric care delivery. Professor Wickramasinghe collaborates with leading scholars at various premier healthcare organizations throughout Australasia, US and Europe and is well published with more than 380 referred, peer reviewed scholarly articles, more than 12 books, numerous book chapters, an encyclopaedia, a patent and a well-established funded research track record. Professor Wickramasinghe is the editor-in-chief of two scholarly journals published by InderScience and has successfully taken four separate health technology solutions from idea to realisation in the US. Freimut Bodendorf, Dr. rer.pol., Dipl.Inf., graduated from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (School of Engineering) with a degree in Computer Science. He obtained his doctor degree (Ph.D.) in Information Systems. Subsequently he was head of an IS department at the University Hospital and Medical School at the University of Freiburg/Germany, professor at the Postgraduate School of Engineering in Nuremberg/Germany, and head of the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. Actually, he is director of the Institute of Information Systems at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and faculty member of the School Business and Economics as well as the School of Engineering. His research areas include Service Design and Engineering, Process Management, and Business Intelligence. Current projects investigate and create solutions in the fields of healthcare, commerce/retail, industrial services (smart factory and supply), and education.
