Augmented Reality (AR) - Cloud Based Iot Technology to Provide Medical Services, Specialized for People with Alzheimer Disease, Blindness, and Hearing Disabilities

Ali Zıdelkhır, Nilgün Bozbuğa

The use of informatics technology in healthcare has revolutionized the way medical solutions are provided to healthcare people. The use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology raised for remote monitoring in the healthcare sector, unleashing the potential to keep patients safe and healthy, including the use of medical intervention. Additionally assistive technology such as wearable devices and smart home systems that are used to monitor and measure patient’s health, facilitate home access, help with artificial intelligence (AI) system analysis by providing real-time data, and help in communication and interaction with the environment around them. Another use of Augmented Reality (AR) can be integrated in the system, since AR helps in assisting people with disabilities in their everyday lives, and may help in identifying objects and landmarks, distances, people’s faces, directions, and more applications to overcome barriers. Artificial intelligence is also suitable in the healthcare industry as it transforms data by improving data processing, identifying patterns and aiding decision-making, as well as generating insights and analyzing large amounts of patient data. Artificial intelligence can be integrated in the structure inside cloud components, to be a main part in the decision system. This work aims to develop an interconnected structure for getting the benefit of utilizing IoT technology to provide medical solutions for specialized people, and assist individuals who had Alzheimer, and people born with disabilities, especially blind and deaf people. For the structure it has been proposing cloud-base systems that interact with all IoT and wearable devices, and using AI decision systems, it will handle the devices automatically to provide visual and audio instruction, meanwhile in worst cases the decision system will automatically provide medical intervention by sending an alert to physicians.

Alzheimer Hastalığı, Görme ve İşi̇tme Engeli̇ Olan Ki̇şi̇lere Özel Tibbi̇ Hi̇zmet Sağlayacak Artırılmış Gerçekli̇k-Bulut Tabanlı Iot Teknoloji̇si̇

Bilişim teknolojisinin sağlık hizmetlerinde kullanılması, tıbbi çözümlerin sağlık çalışanlarına sunulma biçiminde devrim yarattı. Sağlık sektöründe uzaktan izleme için geliştirilen Nesnelerin İnterneti (Internet of Things - IoT) teknolojisinin kullanımı, gerektiğinde tıbbi müdahale de dahil olmak üzere hastaları güvende ve sağlıklı tutma potansiyeli taşımaktadır. Ayrıca giyilebilir cihazlar ve akıllı ev sistemleri gibi yardımcı teknolojiler hastanın sağlığını izlemek ve ölçmek, eve erişimi kolaylaştırmak, gerçek zamanlı veri akışı sağlayarak yapay zekâ (Artificial Intelligence - AI) sistem analizi ile çevreyle iletişim ve etkileşime yardımcı olmaktadır. Artırılmış Gerçekliğin (Augmented Reality - AR) başka bir kullanımı da sisteme entegre edilmekle, AR engelli insanlara günlük yaşamlarında nesneleri ve yer işaretlerini, mesafeleri, insanların yüzlerini, yönlerini ve engelleri aşmak için daha fazla uygulamayı tanımlamaya yardımcı olabilir. Yapay zekâ, sağlık sektöründe veri işlemeyi iyileştirerek, kalıpları belirleyerek ve karar almaya yardımcı olarak, aynı zamanda içgörüler üreterek ve büyük miktarlarda hasta verilerini analiz ederek büyük veriye dönüştürdüğü için de uygundur. Yapay zekâ, karar sisteminin ana parçası olacak şekilde bulut bileşenlerinin içindeki yapıya entegre edilebilir. Bu çalışma, IoT teknolojisinden faydalanarak uzman kişilere tıbbi çözüm sağlamak, Alzheimer hastası bireylerle başta görme ve işitme olmak üzere engelliler olmak üzere doğuştan engelli kişilere yardımcı olmak için birbirine bağlı bir yapı geliştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yapı için tüm IoT ve giyilebilir cihazlarla etkileşime giren, yapay zekâ karar sistemlerini kullanan, görsel ve işitsel talimat sağlamak için cihazları otomatik olarak yönetecek, bu arada en kötü durumlarda karar sistemi üzerinden otomatik olarak doktorlara uyarı göndererek tıbbi müdahale sağlayacak bulut tabanlı bir sistem önerilmektedir.
