Springer Connected Health in Smart Cities

This book reports on the theoretical foundations, fundamental applications and latest advances in various aspects of connected services for health information systems. The twelve chapters highlight state-of-the-art approaches, methodologies and systems for the design, development, deployment and innovative use of multisensory systems and tools for health management in smart city ecosystems. They exploit technologies like deep learning, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, cyber physical systems and sensor networks. Presenting the latest developments, identifying remaining challenges, and outlining future research directions for sensing, computing, communications and security aspects of connected health systems, the book will mainly appeal to academic and industrial researchers in the areas of health information systems, smart cities, and augmented reality. Review “The book serves its purpose by touching on a variety of topics and providing not only a wide overview, but specific, thoughtful details in each chapter … . The intended audience is researchers, research students, academics, and practitioners. … It was refreshing to see each chapter follow a similar format that set up clear expectations for learning each topic. The writing for the most part is clear and concise, making the book enjoyable and straightforward.” (Paige M Nahod, Doody's Book Reviews, August 6, 2021) From the Back Cover This book reports on the theoretical foundations, fundamental applications and latest advances in various aspects of connected services for health information systems.
