Smart City Plan for the Health Care of Smart Population

Abstract

The concept of “smart”, cities has gained increasing attention as an approach for the management the urban city. Smart city is that which is able to make better decisions that result in increased quality of life for urban residents and the overall sustainability of the city. It is necessary to understand the impact of smart cities on urban environmental, social, economic and healthcare perspective. In order to achieve the goal of Smart Cities, one has to develop quite a number of technologies in the area of wireless and fixed communications networks, and many research challenges are identified. This paper shows that by combining smart homes with smart cities, we are able to provide an ICT infrastructure that exploits the entangled connections between the ambient assisted living, the smart homes, and the smart cities. Due to a growing number of health problems in people, it is a necessity to create the cities that are aware of the special needs of all their citizens including the needs of populations. Health care is important for citizens in general and in particular for the all male and female population. Smart cities need to address people needs across such as housing, social participations health care, and community support services, leisure, and culture, in order to make smart city environment friendly. It is a matter of challenge in the cities and societies which are mostly related to the fact that age causes age-specific barriers, such as limitations of mobility, visual and hearing impairments and a high disease susceptibility, especially for chronic diseases (diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, cardiovascular diseases). ICT solution implemented in the cities can help overcome mobility, visual and cognitive problems. ICT-based Independent Living Services can play an important role in helping citizens to live independently
