Book Description:

Semantic Models in IoT and eHealth Applications is a comprehensive guide that explores the key role of semantic web modeling in eHealth technologies. The book delves into the challenges and issues faced in the healthcare sector through various case studies, focusing on the adoption of semantic web technologies.

It introduces the concept of semantic interoperability within a healthcare model setting, highlighting how semantic representation is crucial for classifying, analyzing, and understanding the massive amounts of biomedical data generated by connected medical devices.

Continuous health monitoring is a strong solution that can provide eHealth services to a community through the use of IoT-based devices that collect sensor data for efficient health diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. All of this collected data needs to be represented in the form of ontologies, which are considered the cornerstone of the Semantic Web for knowledge sharing, information integration, and information extraction.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive coverage of advances in the application of semantic web in the field of eHealth.
• Explores different challenges and issues through various case studies of healthcare systems that are adopting semantic web technologies.
• Covers applications across a range of eHealth technologies, including remote monitoring and mobile health.

Target Audience:

This book is ideal for healthcare professionals, researchers, and developers interested in understanding the role of semantic web modeling in improving eHealth services and applications.
