    Deep learning in pervasive health monitoring, design goals, applications, and architectures: An overview and a brief synthesis
    (Elsevier, 2021-11) Boulemtafes, Amine; Khemissa, Hamza; Derki, Mohamed Saddek; Amira, Abdelouahab; Djedjig, Nabil
    The continuous growth of an aging population in some countries, and patients with chronic conditions needs the development of efficient solutions for healthcare. Pervasive Health Monitoring (PHM) is an important pervasive computing application that has the potential to provide patients with a high-quality medical service and enable quick-response alerting of critical conditions. To that end, PHM enables continuous and ubiquitous monitoring of patients' health and wellbeing using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, such as wearables and ambient sensors. In recent years, deep learning (DL) has attracted a growing interest from the research community to improve PHM applications. In this paper, we discuss the state-of-the-art of DL-based PHM, through identifying, (1) the main PHM applications where DL is successful, (2) design goals and objectives of using DL in PHM, and (3) design notes including DL architectures and data preprocessing. Finally, main advantages, limitations and challenges of the adoption of DL in PHM are discussed.

    Investigating Security and Privacy Concerns in Deep-Learning-based Pervasive Health Monitoring Architectures
    (IEEE, 2023-11) Boulemtafes, Amine; Amira, Abdelouahab; Derki, Mohamed Saddek; Hadjar, Samir
    Pervasive Health Monitoring (PHM) uses sensors and wearable devices and data analytics for real-time health monitoring. It enables early detection and personalized care interventions. This technology has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by improving proactive and preventive care.Besides, Deep learning (DL) based PHM is even more promising as it improves the discovery of complex patterns and correlations. This leads to precise health monitoring and personalized care, enhances diagnostics, and ultimately improves patient outcomes in the field of healthcare.However, privacy and security considerations must be addressed for successful implementation. This paper investigates the security and privacy concerns in Pervasive Health Monitoring architectures. It discusses through an illustrative DL-based PHM architecture the potential threats and attacks during the inference and training phases, and identifies key security and privacy issues. It also gives insights on countermeasures and technological solutions that can address security and privacy concerns in PHM architectures.
