Social Impact of Network-Based Ubiquitous Cardiac Surveillance
Abstract
This chapter is a summary of the book and attempts to evaluate the social impact of the general idea of ubiquitous cardiology. The project discussed in the book is in fact oriented toward designing wireless bidirectional cooperation of two programmable ECG interpreting devices used for permanent heart monitoring and semi-automatic medical diagnosis. As shown above, the main idea of the project under consideration is to replace the traditional patient-doctor interaction model with a semi-automatic system, which was invented, designed, and developed by the staff of the Biocybernetic Laboratory at AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland. The system under consideration offers ubiquitous surveillance without time and distance constraints. In this book we presented and discussed the technological aspects of the ubiquitous cardiology system. Conversely, this chapter is about its social aspects. This is also an important issue because every human-dedicated system must take into account human preferences and human limitations. The ubiquitous cardiology system will be used by patients and accepted by doctors when and only when its properties and parameters will be properly related to patient expectations and doctors demands. These aspects of the project are discussed in this chapter.
