- Abstract: In recent years, there has been an increased focus on early detection,
prevention, and prediction of diseases. This, together with advances in sensor
technology and the Internet of Things, has led to accelerated efforts in the
development of personal health monitoring systems. Semantic technologies have
emerged as an effective way to not only deal with the issue of interoperability
associated with heterogeneous health sensor data, but also to represent expert
health knowledge to support complex reasoning required for decision-making.
This study evaluates the state of the art in the use of semantic technologies
in sensor-based personal health monitoring systems. Using a systematic
approach, a total of 40 systems representing the state of the art in the field
are analysed. Through this analysis, six key challenges that such systems must
overcome for optimal and effective health monitoring are identified:
interoperability, context awareness, situation detection, situation prediction,
decision support, and uncertainty handling. The study critically evaluates the
extent to which these systems incorporate semantic technologies to deal with
these challenges and identifies the prominent architectures, system development
and evaluation methodologies that are used. The study provides a comprehensive
mapping of the field, identifies inadequacies in the state of the art, and
provides recommendations for future research directions.

The emergence of COVID-19 has had a global and profound impact, not only on society as a whole, but also on the lives of individuals.
Various prevention measures were introduced around the world to limit the transmission of the disease, including face masks, mandates for social distancing and regular disinfection in public spaces, and the use of screening applications.
These developments triggered the need for novel and improved computer vision techniques capable of (i) providing support to the prevention measures through an automated analysis of visual data, on the one hand, and (ii) facilitating normal operation of existing vision-based services, such as biometric authentication
