Mobile and Wearable Technologies in Healthcare is a rapidly emerging topic in consequence of the technological advances, especially in mobile computing and communication technologies. Mobile phone penetration exceeded over 70% world population with more than 4.7 billion unique mobile subscriptions (GSMA, The Mobile Economy Report 2016). Increased capabilities of mobile devices including smart phones, smart bands and other wearables; provides vast opportunities to easily collect health data. Such data can be used by health professionals to support medical diagnosis and treatment and also by consumers to assist self-motivation to adopt and track healthier daily life practices. Researches on wearable devices collecting health data have various focuses, ranging from sensors, batteries, user acceptance or clinical studies. This review aims to understand and organize the current trends in mobile and wearable technologies in healthcare by proposing a classification of the literature after conducting a systematic review. The review covers 112 publications published between years 2005 and 2016.

Mobile user data mining to infer knowledge workers' differences in office environments for effective health delivery Çavdar, Şeyma; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Department of Information Systems (2019) Owing to the widespread and ubiquitous nature of mobile technologies, a large amount of data about users including location, access and interaction behavior is currently available. This data has recently become important as it has the potential to reveal personal information, social context and user characteristics, which can be significant for effective health interventions through mobile phones. Accordingly, this thesis mainly aims to explore the individual differences of knowledge workers and social cont...
Design for health and wellbeing: an investigation into diet control body-monitoring applications for smart devices Tuna, Nur Nagihan; Şener Pedgley, Bahar; Department of Industrial Design (2014) The advancements in information and communication technologies (ICT) lead innovative changes in various areas as well as health and wellbeing. Many people use their smart devices for monitoring their body. Since inactivity and unhealthy eating are amongst the biggest problems of our era, weight monitoring applications are becoming favoured options. However, in order to ensure people’s wellbeing, not only their physical state but also mental and social states should be supported by these applications. ‘Posit...
Wireless sensor networks for healthcare: A survey Alemdar, Hande (2010-10-28) Becoming mature enough to be used for improving the quality of life, wireless sensor network technologies are considered as one of the key research areas in computer science and healthcare application industries. The pervasive healthcare systems provide rich contextual information and alerting mechanisms against odd conditions with continuous monitoring. This minimizes the need for caregivers and helps the chronically ill and elderly to survive an independent life, besides provides quality care for the babi...
Exploring behavior change features for mobile workout applications ÜNAL, Perin; Cavdar, Seyma Kucukozer; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Eren, Pekin Erhan; IYENGAR, Sriram (2017-08-23) With the rapid emergence of mobile technologies in recent years, mobile health (m-health) has become fundamental to healthcare. Persuasion strategies and behavior change support features are widely used in m-health applications to increase the effectiveness of these applications on users. However, in the literature, there is a lack of research to analyze the current situation of m-health applications particularly from the perspective of behavior change approaches. In this study, the workout applications in ...
Wireless Communication Aspects in the Internet of Things: An Overview ULUŞAR, ÜMİT DENİZ; Celik, Gurkan; Al-Turjman, Fadi (2017-10-12) Recent advances in technology propelled the development of resource constrained tiny devices and the concept of Internet of Things (IoT). Potential applications spanning various fields of science from environmental to medical have been emerged. Different architectures, routing protocols, performance issues and goals have been suggested. In this work, we review fundamental concepts, recent developments and critical design factors under IoT-specific constraints and objectives such as energy efficiency and env...
