Abstract

Health care systems have started using advanced technologies, such as Sensor Networks and Internet of Things (IoT), to make health care solutions affordable and easier to access. However, elderly patients who are unconvinced about its dependability hesitate to use the immense facilities provided by the advanced technology. A remedy to this problem is to make the health care system dependable and patient-centric so that patients can be convinced to trust the system. Towards achieving this goal, this paper defines a multi-faceted design, explains how the dependability properties can be integrated in it, and briefly illustrate it in a design pattern for sensors that can be used for an elderly home monitoring system.
