Health Risk Measurement and Assessment Technology: Current State and Future Prospect

Abstract

With accelerated technologies, different kinds of health technology devices have been provided to customers that continuously record bio and vital signals. Some of these products are wearable that can be used all day long and during sleeping time. Due to the wearability feature and continuous recording, a vast amount of data can be achieved and analyzed. The recorded data are usually shared with a cloud to implement comprehensive analysis methods where deep and machine learning algorithms play the main role. Finally, they can assess some health factors of the customer and most likely predict future health risks. This chapter shall review the role of the clinical scanners and their valuable data in risk detection, more portable modalities, home-used commercial devices, and emerging techniques which are so potent for future home-used health risks analysis. In the end, we conclude the state-of-the-art and provide our vision about the future of health risk analysis.
