personal healthcare as well as population health management.
5. Summary and Concluding Remarks
This chapter surveys the application of sensor data mining in medical
informatics. With the general increased instrumentation of the world
with sensors, the need to make healthcare delivery more proactive, the
ability to mine sensor data in healthcare is receiving a significant amount
of attention. Despite these efforts, several challenges both technical and
non technical remain to be solved. We have surveyed these challenges
in this chapter, before presenting illustrative applications of sensor data
mining technologies, both for clinical and non-clinical applications.
