Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'apparition et la démocratisation de l'internet dans les années 2000 suivie de celles des smartphones et des applications mobiles dans les années 2010 ont permis l'émergence des objets connectés qui vont totalement disrupter des domaines entiers de notre société dont celui de la santé. La santé connectée et les dispositifs médicaux connectés sont des marchés en pleine croissance et des nouveautés apparaissent chaque jour. Cette thèse traite de l'écosystème actuel des objets connectés de bien-être et des dispositifs médicaux connectés liés à leurs applications mobiles et comment ces derniers vont permettre de bouleverser les systèmes de santé et la prise en charge des patients notamment dans les pathologies chroniques comme le diabète ou l'hypertension. Les enjeux sont énormes : au niveau juridique : la législation et la réglementation ont du mal à suivre le rythme des évolutions technologiques et cela provoque des blocages et des doutes que ce soit chez les utilisateurs ou chez les régulateurs. Au niveau éthique : les utilisateurs ont peur pour le devenir des données très personnelles collectées par ces objets, et cela est un frein dans le développement des objets connectés de santé. Au niveau économique : les objets connectés vont permettre aux systèmes de santé de faire des économies notamment avec le suivi à distance des patients qui évite des coûts d'hospitalisations et va bouleverser le rôle du pharmacien ou du médecin. Au niveau sociétal : grâce à la santé mobile les pays en développement vont pouvoir avoir accès aux soins auxquels ils n'avaient auparavant pas accès. Les objets et dispositifs médicaux connectés redonnent le pouvoir aux patients en ce qui concerne leur santé. Ils prennent conscience de leur état physique et psychique grâce aux capteurs qui mesurent certains de leurs paramètres vitaux en temps réel. Ces mesures, analysées par une application, une intelligence artificielle ou un professionnel de santé vont permettre à la médecine actuelle, où le patient était dans une relation de soumission face à son médecin, de se transformer en une nouvelle médecine : prédictive, personnalisée, préventive et participative. Cet empowerment du patient sur sa santé est particulièrement efficace dans la prise en charge des maladies chroniques : le malade connaît mieux sa maladie et ses symptômes et sait mieux se gérer ce qui améliore significativement l'observance des traitements médicamenteux et hygiéno-diététiques. Grâce aux objets connectés le patient devient le manager de sa propre santé et les professionnels de santé sont plus efficaces dans la gestion du traitement et du suivi de la prise en charge grâce au gain de temps induit. De plus, le médecin va pouvoir ainsi proposer un traitement personnalisé au patient en fonction de l'état du patient mesuré en temps réel. En résumé, la productivité des professionnels de santé est améliorée. Une fois que les barrières à l'implémentation des objets connectés en santé seront levées (l'absence de cadre juridique, la peur de la fuite des données personnelles, la fragmentation du marché des objets connectés et des applications de santé et le manque de connaissance des professionnels de santé envers ces objets), le marché deviendra mature et pourra révolutionner pleinement la santé de patients.

Grâce aux objets connectés et aux applications de santé, le particulier dispose d'outils d'automesure et de diagnostic auparavant réservés au cabinet médical ou à l'hôpital. Les applis de suivi de l'activité physique, du sommeil ou de la nutrition sont elles aussi prises très au sérieux par les acteurs du système de santé qui y voient de puissants outils de prévention. Les géants du numérique (Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung...) ne s'y sont pas trompés et investissent massivement dans la e-santé ; le nombre de start-up du secteur explose également. Mais s'agira-t-il encore de médecine ? Notre assurance-maladie et nos mutuelles vont-elles introduire des systèmes de bonus-malus pour récompenser les bons comportements ? Le big data va-t-il bouleverser notre système de santé ? Alexis Normand répond à ces questions de manière précise et dépassionnée ; il donne de nombreux exemples d'initiatives en cours en Europe et aux États-Unis, en pointant les risques de dérives et en se faisant l'écho des débats sur les questions éthiques. "Impossible, après cette lecture, de continuer à croire que le monde médical va poursuivre sa route sans affronter de grands bouleversements !" - Gilles babinet, digital champion de la france auprès de la commission européenne "Une analyse brillante, pour réfléchir aux promesses de la révolution numérique dans le monde de la santé." - Dr Jacques Lucas, vice-président du conseil national de l'ordre des médecins "Le livre d'Alexis Normand permet de mesurer tous les enjeux de la e-santé et aide le lecteur à devenir un citoyen éclairé." - Christine Siméone, France inter

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction : l'émergence massive des objets connectés en santé est en train de remanier la façon d'appréhender la prise en charge globale du patient. Ces vecteurs d'information sont répartis en deux catégories, à visée de bien/être et à visée médicale. Ces nouvelles TIC peuvent répondre à certains freins rencontrés dans la prise en charge ambulatoire des pathologies chroniques. C'est dans cette optique que notre travail a interrogé la littérature scientifique sur l'intérêt des objets connectés en soins primaires. Méthode et matéeiel : via la base de données Medline (PubMed), notre travail a porté sur une revue de la littérature incluant des revues, des méta-analyses et des essais contrôlés randomisées ou non ayant évalué l'impact de l'usage d'un dispositif connecté en terme d'efficacité clinique, ou biologique ou thérapeutique pour les nosologies ayant une prévalence élevée en médecine générale. Résultats : notre analyse a inclus 25 publications: trois revues, 2 méta-analyses, 19 études contrôlées randomisées et 1 étude contrôlée non randomisée. Dans le cadre de la prévention cardiovasculaire, les résultats ont été significatifs pour la perte de poids, le contrôle l'hypertension artérielle, la correction des dyslipidémies, l'amélioration de l'asthme partiellement controlé ou non controlé. Ces programmes d'intervention ont également un impact positif sur l'observance thérapeutique, et un intérêt pour limiter l'inertie thérapeutique. En outre, les outils ont été en faveur d'une aide de diagnostic clinique des poussées d'insuffisance cardiaque chronique, permettant une prise en charge précoce et limiter ainsi les ré hospitalisations. Par ailleurs, la discordance de certains essais sur le diabète, était due à la compliance moindre de l'auto surveillance glycémique chez des patients DT2 sous anti diabétique oral seul (chez qui l'indication est restreinte) ou due à des effets indésirables cutanés liés au dispositif. Discussion :l'indication de ces TIC nécessite de définir un profil de patient, pour un bénéfice dans le projet de soins. En outre, l'impact de ces capteurs n'est favorable que si une rétroaction y est associée, permettant ainsi une réévaluation clinique, biologique ou thérapeutique. Les données issues de ces vecteurs prennent ainsi une utilité médicale que si elles sont interprétées par un médecin. Toutefois, l'usage à visée médicale doit être encadré : évaluation de validation, de pertinence, de fiabilité, et de protection des données. Conclusion : ce travail intègre l'usage des objets connectés en santé dans une médecine 4P. La prévalence des maladies chroniques et la démographie médicale suscitent une nouvelle façon de penser notre système de soins. Devant ces besoins, ces nouveaux outils auront un impact sur la pratique médicale. Leur émergence dépendra de la formation des patients et des soignants, de leur validation technologique et médicale, des enjeux réglementaires ainsi que du coût lié à leur usage.

Book excerpt: Nos modes de vie évoluent avec les nouvelles technologies, dont les objets connectés. Ces derniers permettent de mesurer et traiter les données de santé de notre quotidien. Grâce à eux et à l'Internet des Objets (IdO ou IoT), nous apprenons à mieux gérer notre santé de manières préventive et curative. Pourtant, le secteur de la santé n'a pas encore intégré ces systèmes et les données de santé sont stockées et partagées à travers le web. Comment les professionnels de santé peuvent-ils intégrer ces technologies dans la prise en charge du patient ? Quels outils et documents peuvent les aider à trier et mettre en place les objets connectés médicaux dans leurs professions ? Cette thèse définit les différents objets connectés médicaux et le cadre réglementaire propre aux professions de santé. Elle traite des différents outils disponibles à ce jour pour aider les professionnels de santé, et particulièrement le pharmacien, à développer ces nouvelles technologies pour leurs patients. Enfin, quelques exemples d'applications sont présentés afin de comprendre l'intérêt et l'étendue des objets connectés médicaux

Book excerpt: Le développement de la santé connectée marque un tournant dans la manière de prendre en charge les patients. De véritables innovations technologiques au service de la santé permettent d'améliorer le suivi des patients et de prévenir l'apparition de certaines pathologies. Les objets connectés et les applications de santé sont des enjeux de santé publiques potentiels dans la mesure où les données personnelles recueillies restent confidentielles et que les données transmises soient fiables. Les dossiers médicaux partagés et pharmaceutiques sont des outils connectés pour permettre un meilleur suivi des patients, de leurs pathologies, de leurs examens médicaux ct de leurs traitements. Le but est de renforcer la communication entre médecins de ville, hôpitaux, pharmacie et patients. Alors que le Dossier Médical Partagé peine à se développer, le Dossier Pharmaceutique quant à lui s'est ancré dans les pratiques professionnels des pharmaciens et dans le quotidien des patients.

Book excerpt: Introduction : Les objets et dispositifs médicaux connectés ne sont encore que faiblement utilisés et/ou conseillés par les médecins généralistes malgré la volonté du Conseil National de l'Ordre des Médecins de déployer ces outils. Partant de ce constant nous nous sommes intéressés aux principaux dispositifs médicaux connectés et objets connectés de santé disponibles à la pratique de la médecine générale en France en 2018. Matériels et Méthodes : recherche apparentée à une revue non exhaustive de la littérature sur les moteurs de recherche Google et Bing puis sur les bases de données PubMed, EM-Consult et Google Scholar. Résultats : 7dispositifs médicaux connectés (Stéthoscope, tensiomètre, électrocardiogramme, pilulier, oxymètre, thermomètre et glucomètre) et 2 objets connectés de santé (balance et montre/bracelet) ont été retenus. Conclusion : L'utilisation des outils numériques en santé n'en est qu'à ses débuts, mais pourrait annoncer une réelle révolution de la pratique médicale. La vigilance doit cependant être de mise sur la sécurisation des données recueillies et leur éventuelle utilisation à des fins détournées de la seule prise en charge de la santé du patient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive Hyperconnected Digital Transformation provides an overview of the current Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, ranging from research, innovation and development priorities to enabling technologies in a global context. It is intended as a standalone book in a series that covers the Internet of Things activities of the IERC-Internet of Things European Research Cluster, including both research and technological innovation, validation and deployment. The book builds on the ideas put forward by the European Research Cluster, the IoT European Platform Initiative (IoT-EPI) and the IoT European Large-Scale Pilots Programme, presenting global views and state-of-the-art results regarding the challenges facing IoT research, innovation, development and deployment in the next years. Hyperconnected environments integrating industrial/business/consumer IoT technologies and applications require new IoT open systems architectures integrated with network architecture (a knowledge-centric network for IoT), IoT system design and open, horizontal and interoperable platforms managing things that are digital, automated and connected and that function in real-time with remote access and control based on Internet-enabled tools. The IoT is bridging the physical world with the virtual world by combining augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to support the physical-digital integrations in the Internet of mobile things based on sensors/actuators, communication, analytics technologies, cyber-physical systems, software, cognitive systems and IoT platforms with multiple functionalities. These IoT systems have the potential to understand, learn, predict, adapt and operate autonomously. They can change future behaviour, while the combination of extensive parallel processing power, advanced algorithms and data sets feed the cognitive algorithms that allow the IoT systems to develop new services and propose new solutions. IoT technologies are moving into the industrial space and enhancing traditional industrial platforms with solutions that break free of device-, operating system- and protocol-dependency. Secure edge computing solutions replace local networks, web services replace software, and devices with networked programmable logic controllers (NPLCs) based on Internet protocols replace devices that use proprietary protocols. Information captured by edge devices on the factory floor is secure and accessible from any location in real time, opening the communication gateway both vertically (connecting machines across the factory and enabling the instant availability of data to stakeholders within operational silos) and horizontally (with one framework for the entire supply chain, across departments, business units, global factory locations and other markets). End-to-end security and privacy solutions in IoT space require agile, context-aware and scalable components with mechanisms that are both fluid and adaptive. The convergence of IT (information technology) and OT (operational technology) makes security and privacy by default a new important element where security is addressed at the architecture level, across applications and domains, using multi-layered distributed security measures. Blockchain is transforming industry operating models by adding trust to untrusted environments, providing distributed security mechanisms and transparent access to the information in the chain. Digital technology platforms are evolving, with IoT platforms integrating complex information systems, customer experience, analytics and intelligence to enable new capabilities and business models for digital business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the British Sociological Association Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness Book Prize, 2012. This book traces the changes in healthcare implicated in telecare technologies: information and communication technologies that enable care at a distance. What happens when healthcare moves from physical to virtual encounters between healthcare professionals and patients? What are the consequences for patients when they are expected to do things that used to be done by healthcare professionals? What actually happens when homes become electronically wired to healthcare organizations? These are urgent questions that are, however, largely absent in dominant discourses on telecare. Drawing on insights from science, technology, and human geography, this work opens up novel accounts of the adoption and use of new technologies in healthcare. Nelly Oudshoorn shows how telecare technologies participate in redefining the responsibilities and identities of patients and healthcare professionals, introducing a new category of healthcare workers, and changing the kinds of care and spaces where healthcare is situated. This book intervenes critically into discourses that celebrate the independence of place and time by showing how places and physical contacts still matter in care at a distance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential guide by one of America's leading doctors to how digital technology enables all of us to take charge of our health A trip to the doctor is almost a guarantee of misery. You'll make an appointment months in advance. You'll probably wait for several hours until you hear "the doctor will see you now"-but only for fifteen minutes! Then you'll wait even longer for lab tests, the results of which you'll likely never see, unless they indicate further (and more invasive) tests, most of which will probably prove unnecessary (much like physicals themselves). And your bill will be astronomical. In The Patient Will See You Now, Eric Topol, one of the nation's top physicians, shows why medicine does not have to be that way. Instead, you could use your smartphone to get rapid test results from one drop of blood, monitor your vital signs both day and night, and use an artificially intelligent algorithm to receive a diagnosis without having to see a doctor, all at a small fraction of the cost imposed by our modern healthcare system. The change is powered by what Topol calls medicine's "Gutenberg moment." Much as the printing press took learning out of the hands of a priestly class, the mobile internet is doing the same for medicine, giving us unprecedented control over our healthcare. With smartphones in hand, we are no longer beholden to an impersonal and paternalistic system in which "doctor knows best." Medicine has been digitized, Topol argues; now it will be democratized. Computers will replace physicians for many diagnostic tasks, citizen science will give rise to citizen medicine, and enormous data sets will give us new means to attack conditions that have long been incurable. Massive, open, online medicine, where diagnostics are done by Facebook-like comparisons of medical profiles, will enable real-time, real-world research on massive populations. There's no doubt the path forward will be complicated: the medical establishment will resist these changes, and digitized medicine inevitably raises serious issues surrounding privacy. Nevertheless, the result-better, cheaper, and more human health care-will be worth it. Provocative and engrossing, The Patient Will See You Now is essential reading for anyone who thinks they deserve better health care. That is, for all of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that as many as 98,000 people die in any given year from medical errors that occur in hospitals. That's more than die from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDSâ€"three causes that receive far more public attention. Indeed, more people die annually from medication errors than from workplace injuries. Add the financial cost to the human tragedy, and medical error easily rises to the top ranks of urgent, widespread public problems. To Err Is Human breaks the silence that has surrounded medical errors and their consequenceâ€"but not by pointing fingers at caring health care professionals who make honest mistakes. After all, to err is human. Instead, this book sets forth a national agendaâ€"with state and local implicationsâ€"for reducing medical errors and improving patient safety through the design of a safer health system. This volume reveals the often startling statistics of medical error and the disparity between the incidence of error and public perception of it, given many patients' expectations that the medical profession always performs perfectly. A careful examination is made of how the surrounding forces of legislation, regulation, and market activity influence the quality of care provided by health care organizations and then looks at their handling of medical mistakes. Using a detailed case study, the book reviews the current understanding of why these mistakes happen. A key theme is that legitimate liability concerns discourage reporting of errorsâ€"which begs the question, "How can we learn from our mistakes?" Balancing regulatory versus market-based initiatives and public versus private efforts, the Institute of Medicine presents wide-ranging recommendations for improving patient safety, in the areas of leadership, improved data collection and analysis, and development of effective systems at the level of direct patient care. To Err Is Human asserts that the problem is not bad people in health careâ€"it is that good people are working in bad systems that need to be made safer. Comprehensive and straightforward, this book offers a clear prescription for raising the level of patient safety in American health care. It also explains how patients themselves can influence the quality of care that they receive once they check into the hospital. This book will be vitally important to federal, state, and local health policy makers and regulators, health professional licensing officials, hospital administrators, medical educators and students, health caregivers, health journalists, patient advocatesâ€"as well as patients themselves. First in a series of publications from the Quality of Health Care in America, a project initiated by the Institute of Medicine

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular Revolution comprises a series of articles from radical French philosopher and psychoanalyst, Felix Guattari, originally published in two separate French editions, of 1977 and 1980 - each bearing the name Molecular Revolution. Despite this titular similarity, these texts differed wildly in form and content so as to become hardly recognizable. This translated single volume makes available in English for the first time an ensemble of pieces featuring an introduction by the editor, Stéphane Nadaud, and an afterword by Janell Watson. By re-arranging and re-deploying these articles, Molecular Revolution stays true to the content of Guattari's work as both a unique version and the embodiment of the essential plurality of molecular revolutions. For Guattari, rather than a theory, molecular revolutions form a practical way of doing politics, and this volume will be essential to the full comprehension of the political force of Guattari's life and work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9/11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perception-action cycle is the circular flow of information that takes place between the organism and its environment in the course of a sensory-guided sequence of behaviour towards a goal. Each action causes changes in the environment that are analyzed bottom-up through the perceptual hierarchy and lead to the processing of further action, top-down through the executive hierarchy, toward motor effectors. These actions cause new changes that are analyzed and lead to new action, and so the cycle continues. The Perception-action cycle: Models, architectures and hardware book provides focused and easily accessible reviews of various aspects of the perception-action cycle. It is an unparalleled resource of information that will be an invaluable companion to anyone in constructing and developing models, algorithms and hardware implementations of autonomous machines empowered with cognitive capabilities. The book is divided into three main parts. In the first part, leading computational neuroscientists present brain-inspired models of perception, attention, cognitive control, decision making, conflict resolution and monitoring, knowledge representation and reasoning, learning and memory, planning and action, and consciousness grounded on experimental data. In the second part, architectures, algorithms, and systems with cognitive capabilities and minimal guidance from the brain, are discussed. These architectures, algorithms, and systems are inspired from the areas of cognitive science, computer vision, robotics, information theory, machine learning, computer agents and artificial intelligence. In the third part, the analysis, design and implementation of hardware systems with robust cognitive abilities from the areas of mechatronics, sensing technology, sensor fusion, smart sensor networks, control rules, controllability, stability, model/knowledge representation, and reasoning are discussed.
