Bluetooth Technology in Heart Monitoring Machine
The dissertation topic is chosen for this study: Bluetooth technology in heart monitoring machines.
Overview.
In the world of technology, Bluetooth technology is described as a type of technology that allows technology-based devices to communicate and share data without cables or wires. Due to the increased use of technology in almost all aspects of human life, the healthcare sector has changed for the better, and now many people are able to use a wide range of technologies at their disposal to monitor various healthcare conditions to help collect data that reveal their health status (Ramlee et al., 2014).
One of these technologies is Bluetooth technology used in heart monitoring machines. Based on the Bluetooth monitoring. Other than measuring and perhaps monitoring body parameters such as temperature, blood pressure, and weight, it is also significantly good to progressively monitor your heart rate using low-cost Bluetooth technology heart rate monitoring to ascertain your health conditions (Lovett, 2020).
Often, the HR module that is used Bluetooth technology monitoring is used to capture heart rate signals from patients and communicate the said signals wirelessly to a computer using a Bluetooth transceiver which can be incorporated as the main component of telemedicine. The primary focus of this study with respect to the dissertation topic is to find out the major benefits of Bluetooth technology in heart monitoring, possible side effects associated with this technology, ethical concerns surrounding this crucial topic, as well as security and cyber-related issues if any that could pose a risk to users of Bluetooth technology.
What Methodology are you planning to use?
Given the topic selected for this discussion is Bluetooth technology in heart monitoring machines, the most appropriate research approach for employees in this aspect is the qualitative research method (Lovett, 2020). The rationale behind selecting this methodology is that the approach will help to provide in-depth knowledge that will facilitate a better understanding of the ways in which this technology works. This mainly involves conducting an interview, experiments, or document analysis to gather adequate data that could provide conclusive findings that can be used to generate facts associated with the use of Bluetooth technology in heart monitoring machines.
The target populations are the patient and healthcare professionals aged between 25 years and 40 years. This population is technologically savvy, and the chances are that it will be easy to collect enough sample size for this study. The approximate size of population sample size is 20 participants, which will be interviewed from Holy Cross Hospital, Mount Sinai Medical Center (MSMC), and Health Foundation of South Florida (HFSF) (Lovett, 2020).
Bluetooth technology in heart monitoring is slowly gaining popularity in the healthcare sector as one of the telemedicine approaches to help people with various cardiovascular conditions. Given that much has not been done to evaluate the efficiency of the technology, its purpose with reference to existing approaches to heart monitoring and the knowledge gap that has not been clearly defined on the use, pros cons, and implications of Bluetooth technology in heart monitoring, I will use social theories as the basis for my research to identify the problem, identify specific knowledge gaps and provide answers to the gaps, develop research questions on various aspect of Bluetooth technology in heart monitoring machines as well provide a conceptual framework that can be used to facilitate future research (Lovett, 2020).
Given that increased used of technology in various fields has raised numerous security and ethical concerns, by choosing this topic on Bluetooth technology in heart monitoring machines, it will be an excellent opportunity to study more about cyber security challenges associated with this topic as provide in course objectives. Perhaps the topic will also facilitate better understanding of possible ethical concern that may rise as result of use of Bluetooth technology.
