  1. Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Service (QoS) in eHealth Muhammad Ullah School of Computing, BTH Karlskrona

  2. Background & Education Muhammad Ullah PhD Fall 2010-Date Communication and Computer Systems (CCS) Research Laboratory, Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH), Karlskrona, Sweden Advisors: Prof. Markus Fiedler (BTH) Dr. Katarzyna Wac (University of Geneva) MSc Computer Science 2007-2009 Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH), Karlskrona, Sweden BCS (Hons) BS Computer Science 2002-2005 Department of Computer Science, University of Peshawar, N.W.F.P Pakistan

  3. RESEARCH INTEREST • My research interest includes the “Quality of Experience (QoE)” and “Quality of Service (QoS)” Issues in electronic healthcare practices. • E-HEALTH is defined as: • Application of the Internet and other related technologies in the healthcare industry to improve the • access, efficiency, effectiveness and quality of clinical and business processes utilized by healthcare organizations, practitioners, patients and consumers to - • Improve the health status of patients. • Electronic Healthcare Care Service and Applications • eHealth, Telemedicine, Telehealth and Mobile Health (mHealth)

  4. eHealth Service and the Challenging domains • Broader and ever-growing service domain (Medical applications and Non-medical applications) • Geographical Locations • Nature of Application • Criticality of the Application • Use of Multiple Networks • Delivered Vs Perceived Quality • How to Identify the Expected level of Quality?

  5. Common Dimensions of e-Health Services • Clinical Applications • Diagnostic • Non-diagnostic • Non-clinical App • Video conferencing • Audio • Images • Text & SMS • Email • Fixed Networks • ATM • Satellite • 3G & 4G • Indoor • Hospital • Primary care • Moving Ambulance • Outdoor

  6. eHealth Services and Applications • Therefore, we need to see how to clearly understand the requirements of different applications, services in different network infrastructure, environmental settings and also to consider the nature of the data that is going to be delivered. • Here we can see some commonalities in different versions of electronic healthcare which are; • Application Purpose • Communication Infrastructure • Environmental Setting • Delivery Options • Context of Use • . • .

  7. eHealth & QoE

  8. QoE Challenges Based on QoS [01]

  9. Research Challenges • Identification of Clinically acceptable thresholds for delivered QoS; the existing traffic classes might not be enough • Methodology; To correlate a level of QoS to end user’s perceptions (QoE) is needed and identify user acceptable level • Identification and opting an appropriate end-to-end communication system for the intended service • Multiplex transmission of multiple data types; considering their priorities • Interoperability issues • . And so on…
