In this article, Boric-Lubecke et al (2014) illustrates that E-healthcare refers to
the practice of healthcare supported by the use and communication of electronic
devices. As traditional transitions to the Internet of Things, with objects and people
interacting and sharing information, there are many opportunities to use that
technology for improving healthcare outcomes while reducing cost. He also
discussed several potential Internet of Things applications in E-healthcare, including
remote monitoring for elderly and sleep disorders, and issues related to privacy and
security linked to electronic medical records and data.
This source is useful for me because wireless body area network is a part of
Internet of Things which means interacting with and exchanging information with
people and objects.

In this article, Halapeti & Prof. Patil (2014) explains that Patient health
monitoring, from nursing homes to hospitals, is a common task in healthcare areas.
Medical staff must closely monitor patients and collect parameters of their body. This
job could be done by applying Healthcare Wireless Sensor Networks (HWSN) in
these scenarios. It is possible to reach each node of the patients if internet is
accessible. The main idea here is to propose a reliable, continuous monitoring
solution for hospitalized patients (in a hospital infirmary) based on a mobility that
supports Healthcare Wireless Sensor Network (HWSN). Patients carry a batch of
body sensors to collect their body parameters (depending on their pathology needs).
Medical staff evaluate each patient's overall condition and analyze the values of these
nodes collectively.
This is an additional source for my research topic. I want to clarify in my
research that Wireless Sensor Networks are useful and plays an essential role for
mobility support. Here the author has presented a reliable solution to support nodes
mobility in a controlled scenario such as a hospital infirmary. The solution also
proposes a new intra - handover mechanism approach that minimizes the exchange
of messages between nodes and attached points (APs) of their network. It can be
useful for my future direction in my research paper that will lead towards
implementing the proposed model and comparing the proposed model with existing
models in terms of performance evaluation study through simulation, efficiencies,
the analysis of this proposal, and results comparing to other approaches should be
performed.

In this article, Kotevski A. Koceska, N. Koceski, S. (2016) illustrates that the
rapid advancement of communication and information technologies offers great
opportunities for the development of remote monitoring systems, which will, on one
hand, reduce costs and travel time, and, on the other, increase the efficiency of health
services and the satisfaction of users. Very often, monitoring patient's vitals are
limited to hospitals or other health care facilities, making the process time
consuming and expensive.
This is a good source for justifying my study, and it does provide relevant
information regarding my topic that I have explored for a low cost e-health
monitoring system. According to my research perspective, this article offers remote
capabilities that enhance the level of medical support the patient receives while
enabling them to be monitored in the comfort of their home. This is especially
important for patients with chronic diseases and patients that require regular
monitoring of vital parameters. In my research, I can include e-health monitoring
system which can be used as tracking the progress and facilitating communication
between patients and doctors, which is a great advantage of this solution. I will use
this resource as the main part of my research writing.

Ren, Yonglin et al (2010) demonstrates that the patient monitoring provides
flexible and powerful patient monitoring at all times and anywhere through
wearable devices. A major challenge is to provide healthcare services through
wearable wireless medical devices to those patients who find it difficult to come to
hospitals due to many reasons but need medical care. In addition, many patients are
concerned about privacy when it comes to disclosing their personal information
through open wireless channels. The most important and challenging issues that
health care providers need to address is how to secure the personal information of
patients and eliminate their privacy concerns. He also presents several techniques
that can be used to monitor patients quickly and enhance telehealth system
functionality and discuss how current safe methods can prevent wireless
communications attacks in healthcare systems and improve mobile healthcare safety.
This will be the second most important source in order to support my ideas and
thoughts in the research paper. He talks about security for healthcare systems. The
most useful information I found was challenging issues that health care providers
need to address is how patients ' personal information can be secured and privacy
concerns eliminated.

In this paper, Yan, Hairong et al (2009) describes the implementation and
experimental analysis of a wireless sensor network application for e-Health. The
application's main idea is to use simple distributed sensor nodes in a home
environment to provide a degree of "comprehension" to home assistants, nurses,
health centers and relatives. It also provides information about the actual person’s
health and activity status in order to fast determine what kind of help is needed.
Another feature of the sensor application is the application of localization and
tracking within the home environment. We propose a simple localization algorithm
based on special sensor data and received signal strength indicator (RSSI) which has
a low complexity suitable for small sensor networks. The experimental results show
that the proposed algorithm works fine in a home environment.
This source can be used when explaining the home environment in order to use
the distributed sensor networks applications for health monitoring. The other
feature of sensor application is that he has explained about the localization algorithm
that can receive RSSI signal strength which is efficient for small sensor networks. So I
can incorporate the information in my research article. Furthermore, I can use
localization algorithms to define the observations and calculations that gives the
relative output for health applications in a home environment.
