4316624 Internet of Things for e-Health | OB | 0 | 1 |
There are no formal prerequisites.
The goal of this subject is to provide an introduction to standards, communication protocols and security protocols concerning Internet-of-Things for E-Health (IoT-eH). Successful students will aquire skills required to make informed decisions regarding the infrastructure of IoT-eH systems. Part of those skills involve researching the state of the art and comparing available options. Others will focus on properly conveying all relevant information regarding decisions made under serveral communicative circumstances.
Emerging Trends in Electronic Health Care
E-health Standards Institutions
HL7: Electronic Health Information Systems
DICOM: Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine
Communication standards: JPEG
Communication standards: JPEG-LS
Communication standards: JPEG2000
Digital Video Compression Standards
Communications standards: H.264
Standards for Privacy, Security and Safety
Building blocks for Information Security
Communication systems for IoT
Wireless networks
Opportunistic Networking
The methodology of this course is designed to expose the students to some of the most important concepts in the area of IoT-eH.
Different learning formats will be used in the presential lectures, including:
Analysis of the literature
Discussion of practical cases
Presentation and defense of decissions related to standards in IoT
Autonomous student work will be required before each session, including independent literature research and preparation of written submissions and oral presentations. Active participation in class willbe required for all formats to enhance learning outcomes for all course participants. Positive interactions and contributions in class will be rewarded in the final course grades.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Study for synthesis test | 15 | 0.6 | 1, 3, 2, 7, 8, 5, 6, 4, 9 |
Final course marks will be based on each student portfolio, and computed as follows:
Active preparation and participation in sessions: 2 points.
Students must be able to provide evidence of participation in presential lectures, e.g., by sharing aquired knowledge and participating in group discussions. Failure to provide such evidence (e.g., by non attendance or by not participating) will result in a 0% score in this part and automatic failure of the course. A minimum of 50% (1 point) in this part will be required to pass the course.
Assignments: 6 points.
Students will be given written and oral assignments that must be submitted/delivered before specific deadlines that will be made public in class. Scoring of this part will be as follows:
Written documents: 3 points
Oral presentations: 3 points.
Failure to submit/deliver them will result in a 0% score in this part and automatic failure of the course. A minimum of 2 points is required for the written and for the oral parts separately. Correct usage of the English language is mandatory for both parts.
Synthesis written test: 2 points.
A final synthesis test will be given based on the contents discussed during the course sessions. A minimum score of 50% (1 point) in this part is required to pass the course.
The minimum score for each part must be met in order to pass the course. Otherwise, a final score of 3 out of 10 will be assigned.
Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the academic regulations in force, assessment activities will receive a zero whenever a student commits academic irregularities that may alter such assessment. Assessment activities graded in this way and by this procedure will not be re-assessable. If passing the assessment activity or activities in question is required to pass the subject, the awarding of a zero for disciplinary measures will also entail a direct fail for the subject, with no opportunity to re-assess this in the same academic year. Irregularities contemplated in this procedure include, among others:
the total or partial copying of a practical exercise, report, or any other evaluation activity;
allowing others to copy;
presenting group work that has not been done entirely by the members of the group;
presenting any materials prepared by a third party as one’s own work, even if these materials are translations or adaptations, including work that is not original or exclusively that of the student;
having communication devices (such as mobile phones, smart watches, etc.) accessible during theoretical-practical assessment tests (individual exams), when prohibited
An overall grade of 5 or higher is required to pass the subject. A "non-assessable" grade cannot be assigned to students who have participated in any of the individual partial tests or the final exam. No special treatment will be given to students who have completed the course in previous academic years. The grade in the Transcript of Records (ToR) will be the lowest value between 3.0 and the weighted average grade, in the event of irregularities having been committed for any assessment activity (and therefore re-assessment will not be possible).
It is important to bear in mind that no assessment activities will be permitted for any student at a different date or time to that established, unless for justified causes duly advised before the activity and with the lecturer’s previous consent. In all other cases, if an activity has not been carried out, this cannot be re-assessed.
