A novel trust evaluation method for Ubiquitous Healthcare based on cloud computational theory
Summary
This study introduces a new method for evaluating trust in Ubiquitous Healthcare (UH) providers using cloud theory and user profiles. The research confirms the method
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Informatics
- Artificial Intelligence
- Trust Management
Background:
- Trust is crucial for effective patient-psychiatrist relationships in healthcare.
- Ubiquitous Healthcare (UH) requires a trustworthy environment for service delivery.
- Evaluating the trustworthiness of UH providers is essential for patient safety and data security.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a novel trust evaluation method for Ubiquitous Healthcare (UH) providers.
- To address the challenge of assessing trust in dynamic UH environments.
- To leverage cloud theory for a more robust trust assessment.
Main Methods:
- A new trust evaluation method based on cloud theory is developed.
- User Profile attributes are exploited to inform the trust assessment.
- Simulations were conducted using MATLAB software for validation.
Main Results:
- The proposed cloud theory-based method effectively evaluates trust in UH providers.
- The method demonstrates capability in handling the inherent fuzziness and randomness in trust reasoning.
- Case studies validated the method's effectiveness in simulated UH environments.
Conclusions:
- The novel trust evaluation method offers a promising approach for securing Ubiquitous Healthcare (UH) systems.
- Cloud theory provides a suitable framework for modeling uncertain trust reasoning in healthcare.
- This research contributes to building more secure and reliable Ubiquitous Healthcare (UH) services.

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

2.4K
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...
