Overview

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated devices that are connected to a network and/or to each other, exchanging data without necessarily requiring human-to-machine interaction. In other words, IoT is a collection of electronic devices that can share information among themselves. Examples include smart factories, smart home devices, medical monitoring devices, wearable fitness trackers, smart city infrastructures, and vehicular telematics. Potential issues for Congress include regulation, digital privacy, and data security as discussed in this title

What is internet of medical things?

the collection of medical devices and applications that connect to healthcare IT systems through online computer networks. Medical devices equipped with Wi-Fi allow the machine-to-machine communication that is the basis of IoMT. IoMT devices link to cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services, on which captured data can be stored and analyzed.[1]

Overview

"These devices, such as heart monitors and pace makers, collect and send patient health statistics over various networks to healthcare providers for monitoring, analysis, and remote configuration. In 2018, over 400 million IoMT devices were connected worldwide, according to the market data company Statista. At a personal health level, wearable IoT devices, such as fitness trackers and smart watches, can track a user’s physical activities, basic vitals, and sleeping patterns. According to one estimate, over 40 million fitness trackers IoT were in use in the United States in 2017."[2]

"As IoMT grows, cybersecurity risks have risen. According to the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) Technical Information Report 57 (TIR57), 'this has created a new source of risk for [the] safe operation [of medical devices].'"[3]


Medical and healthcare

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an application of the IoT for medical and health related purposes, data collection and analysis for research, and monitoring.[39][40][41][42][43] The IoMT has been referenced as "Smart Healthcare",[44] as the technology for creating a digitized healthcare system, connecting available medical resources and healthcare services.[45][46]

Mathematics for Computer Vision (Book)

Abstract  This book provides a comprehensive overview of the mathematical foundations of computer vision, including linear algebra, calculus, probability and statistics, differential equations, and geometry. Each chapter introduces key concepts and their applications in computer vision, providing examples and practical exercises for readers to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios. The first chapter focuses on linear algebra, which is used extensively in computer vision for tasks such as image processing, image compression, and feature extraction. The second chapter discusses the use of calculus for image segmentation, object detection, and tracking, including the calculation of gradients and optimization algorithms. The third chapter covers probability and statistics, which are essential for object recognition, classification, and machine learning in computer vision. The fourth chapter delves into differential equations, which are used for image restoration and denoising. T...

  Function here I’m going to define function, examples and mathematics insight Definitions function, in mathematics, an expression, rule, or law, that defines a relationship between one variable (the independent variable/input) and another variable (the dependent variable/output). Generally it is denoted by, f(x) , g(x) ,and h(x). y=f(x) If a variable y depends on a variable x in such a way that each value of x determine exactly one of y , then we say that y is a function of x A function f is a rule that associates a unique output with each input. If the input is denoted by x , then the output denoted by f(x) (read as “ f of x” ) Examples let A be the area and r be the radius of the circle, A =4 pi r^2 where, A is dependent variable while r is independent variable let x is input a number of the real set and y is output also be the real set, X=X^3 ...
