Purpose
Pediatric patients with cancer are at high risk for severe infections. Infections can trigger changes of vital signs long before clinical symptoms arise. Continuous recording may detect such changes earlier than discrete measurements. We aimed to assess the feasibility of continuous recording of vital signs by a wearable device (WD) in pedi...

The future of healthcare relies heavily on the connection of humans to intelligent devices via communication networks for rapid medical response. Hence, the evaluation of the performance of smart wearable devices as veritable tools for prompt, pervasive, and proactive healthcare delivery to end-users in response to socio-economic dynamics is imperative especially as 5G unwinds and B5G emerges. Despite the boom in the wearable market and significant improvement in communication technologies, the translation of wearable data from clinical trials to valuable assets for practical medical application is burdened with varying challenges. This review provides an introspective analysis of the performance of unobtrusive wearable devices based on identified key performance indicators (KPIs) in relation to evolving generation networks in achieving innovative health care delivery. A total of 2751 articles pooled from 5 digital libraries were screened and 16 were selected for this review using PRISMA. The identified wearable KPIs; energy efficiency, discretization, intelligence, secured network, and customizable standards are currently engrossed with both reliability and real-time issues that undermine its performance, perceptibility, and acceptability by end-users. The transformation of smart wearable device data from clinical trials into intangible resources for medical applications is the fulcrum of innovative healthcare actualization. Further insight on how the identified challenges can be streamlined for smooth device alignment and transition to the emerging B5G network and its eco-friendly environment is also discussed. It is hoped that this will serve as a rallying point for research direction in translating prospective wearable solutions into a valuable resource for actualizing p-health.
... From the fashion approach, there are designers who have already incorporated similar forms of technology into cutting edge apparel. In spring/summer 2007, the Turkish born designer Hussein Chalayan, made robotic dresses which stunned the audience [2]. Mower mentioned that Chalayan was "excited by science, fascinated by world politics, and recognized the fact that the way we dress was a reaction to the times we lived in" [3]. ...

The paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interconnected objects that can be accessed globally with the help of the Internet. IoT has numerous applications including healthcare wherein the wearable devices can sense the data from the body of the patient and sent it to the concerned doctor for remote monitoring. It is essential that these devices should operate in real time and generate the precise data as life-critical decisions are made based upon the data received from these devices. The infrastructure of IoT is very heterogeneous and dynamic therefore vulnerable to the threat of security and privacy. One of the most significant challenges in IoT is the authentication of the devices before sending the data so that we can have confidence in the received data. As IoT devices are resource constraint, there is a need for lightweight authentication scheme for them. In this paper, we introduce a new authentication technique for communication on the Internet of Things (IoT) using simple XOR and one-way Cryptographic hash function. The proposed protocol not only provides security but also maintains equilibrium between the efficiency and communication cost. The security of the proposed protocol is evaluated using BAN-Logic, the widely accepted AVISPA tool and the informal security analysis. Then, the comparison of the proposed protocol with the existing related schemes is shown concerning security features, communication, and computational cost.
