Our environment is under siege. The infrastructures in many sectors of the economy are begging for a facelift. The government seems to be turning a blind eye to the plight of the masses. The healthcare sector is in ruins, as healthcare facilities are degenerating. Who would save the masses from these malaises that tend to plunder many people into depression and states of despair?
When the government and other centralized authorizes care a little about the health and wellbeing of their citizens and those under their care, the latter would, in turn, strive to fend for themselves or look for alternative media. An alternative solution is here to fix some of the decay in the global healthcare system, especially that of Africa, where the healthcare sector is on the verge of collapse. CitiOS is that solution!
THE CHALLENGE
Africa is a blessed continent, but the same cannot be said of the wellbeing of the inhabitants. The healthcare system is the worst hit. The facilities in hospitals and clinics are nothing to write home about. The facilities have been in use for many decades, but only a few have been changed. The rest are left to wither away or until more lives are claimed, before the government steps up to its responsibilities. Aside from the outdated healthcare facilities, natural disasters could also have a hand in the decline in the functionalities of the healthcare facilities. For instance, earthquakes that rocked many parts of the world, including Africa, led to the destruction and malfunctioning of those healthcare facilities.
THE STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING
It’s in light of the prevailing circumstances of relapsed healthcare facilities that the CitiOS project is here to address some of the challenges. It does that via the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), which is an Internet of Things (IoT)-inspired model. SHM aids in the collection and collation of information by using sensor networks to gather the same. These sensors are delegated to check the status of the healthcare infrastructures. Once that has been done, it proceeds to send the data to the edge computing and AI chip embedded platform. The latter is responsible for cutting off intermediaries in the process of collating data. It also uses a dedicated cutting-edge technology to generate data of the sensor networks before securely transferring the same into the CitiOS blockchain via the LoRa-private protocol.
It should be noted that CitiOS’ interest is to see to the enthroning of robust media of gathering information about healthcare. In addition to the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) model, CitiOS also uses the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) sensors to get the needed data in real-time. Other amazing features of the CitiOS health monitoring model are the data marketplace support, distributed AIoT architecture, and an open ecosystem.
THE BENEFITS OF CitiOS IN HEALTH MONITORING
There’s no denying that human lives are worth more than any other thing. Hence, the delegation of the decentralized CitiOS health monitoring model is a step towards the advancement of the African healthcare sector via the varieties of sensor networks that bolster the collation of data.
It would interest you to know that more lives can be saved when this is in place because the plans in place are geared towards getting real-time information about the healthcare systems. With the information/data-driven ecosystem, it would now be more comfortable to predict the status of the healthcare infrastructures, overcome possible defects in the system, and reduce the arduous efforts associated with the manual verification approach of gathering the same data.
CONCLUSION
There is no end to the innovations that would come into the healthcare system, provided the CitiOS Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) see the light of the day. So, healthcare practitioners and indeed, the healthcare industry leaders should align with CitiOS to increase the chances of their local healthcare sectors in the global health community.
