Trends in Mobile Cyber-Physical Systems for health Just-in time interventions

Advances in pervasive computing, machine learning, and human activity recognition are changing preventive health care. Emerging paradigms, such as Mobile Cyber-Physical System (MCPS) and Just-in-time interventions (JITI), allow patients to take health monitoring, diagnosis, therapy and treatments beyond traditional medical settings. These paradigms empower patients by delivering health care at any place and at any time. MCPS provides the necessary engineering support to enable JITI systems to work in an autonomous way. In this work, we review the recent trends in the design of Mobile Cyber-Physical systems for Just-in-time interventions (MCP-JITI), and the different engineering concepts behind this paradigm. Finally, we discuss a set of necessary requirements or design issues to successfully deploy in real world scenarios. This discussion is driven by the description of the MCP-JITI architecture and the interconnections among its components.
