Abstract:
Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming our society and daily lives by connecting the world. This is expected to fundamentally transform industry, business, transportation and healthcare. However, this ubiquitous connection brings with it many challenges that range from security, scalability, data analytics, to device-level protocols. It is estimated that there will be hundreds of billions of IoT devices that need to be connected in the next few years. In addition, more than half of the world’s population live in cities, many with multiple devices that need to be connected to the Internet. This is expected to create a complex infrastructure. These smart services rely on computation and communication resources. Furthermore, being able to provide adequate services using these complex systems present enormous challenges.
In this Keynote, we review the current efforts by experts around the world to mitigate some of these challenges. Then, we showcase our research activities to contribute to these efforts and advocate possible solutions using AI and other tools. We provide ways on how to manage the available resources intelligently and efficiently in order to offer better living conditions and provide better services. Finally, we discuss some of our research results to support a variety of applications including how to secure these devices for successful healthcare service delivery in different aspects.

Abstract:
Multidisciplinar team participates in the longitudinal process of rehabilitation of patient, suffering from different diseases: physician, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, masseures, prosthetists, lymph therapists, caregivers, speech specialists and psychologists. Main areas of medical rehabilitation are neurologic, orthopaedic, rheumatologic, cardiologic and post-amputation rehabilitation, sports medicine. For estimation of human movement different types of sensors are applied: wearable, environment-embedded and implanted. Several movement analysis systems provide data monitoring – with reflective markers, markerless systems, wireless accelerometers. Most objective information to identify and analyse walking, posture or movement problems, including kinematic and kinetic data are monitored by instrumented gait and movement analysis systems. The digital synchronisation of infrared cameras, force plates embedded in walkway and video caption helps to simultaneously search and compare the patient’s pattern of movement of body segments and power distribution during different phases of motion. Instrumented gait and movement analysis is provided by two types of hardware – with floor-embedded force plates or moving belt (uni- or dual-belt) embedded force plates. There are also two kinds of environment-related options: with moving or fixed environment. The environment-embedded moving system gives additional possibilities to study human body motion on a higher, more complex level as compared to fixed systems. New opportunity for dual-task specific training are open with virtual and augmented reality – to train gait or movement adaptability by projecting stepping targets, obstacles, or moving objects on the walking surface or display and to add cognitive elements and to give the feedback to patient. Unification of data monitoring including standard software protocols is the best way to exchange the information between different hospitals and research institutions. Previously it has been supposed to build an on-line database for monitored data, but future studies need the in-network processing and security aspects for this aim.
