Telecare is defined as “the remote or enhanced delivery of health and social care services to people in their own home by means of telecommunications and computer-based systems” (Barnes et al, 1998). The purpose of this equipment is to support independent living and safety in the home by tailoring the system to the meet the needs of the individual. In this study, the term telecare refers to community alarm components which are compatible with a basic package comprising a base unit and manual trigger system. Some sensors and monitors detect potentially hazardous changes in the environment, or the circumstances of the user, and are designed to initiate an alert automatically. Other devices are activated through the actions of the user. Once alerted control centre staff initiate contact with the user and if necessary activate an appropriate response.

There is a slew of additional terminology linked with long-distance healthcare delivery, which are briefly defined as follows: Telediagnostics: Telediagnostics is the application of information and communication technology to allow for patient diagnosis across geographically separated domains. It is usually a real-time, live conversation between the doctor and the patient at the remote location. Telediagnostics can also encompass a store-and-forward architecture, in which the patient’s data is forwarded to a specialist for consultation [38].Teleconsultation: Teleconsultation is the use of information and communication technology to connect individuals beyond geographic barriers, such as healthcare professionals and their patients, for clinical consultations. Diagnostic, treatment, mentoring and other clinical activities connected to the delivery of healthcare services performed by healthcare professionals [39].Telemonitoring: Telemonitoring refers to the remote monitoring of vital signs and symptoms in patients. Patients with chronic diseases such as heart or respiratory disorders who live in their own homes and must be observed on a regular basis are the most prominent examples of telemonitoring. Telemonitoring systems notify practitioners to abnormal findings, allowing them to intervene quickly [40].Teletreatment: Teletreatment is the use of telemedicine to deliver therapy to patients in inaccessible or remote locations. The specialist at the specialty centre could give advice to the doctor treating the patient on the best course of treatment.Telecare: Telecare is defined as the provision of support and help to persons in need across a long distance using ICT. It is the use of sensors to provide continuous, automatic and remote monitoring of elderly and fragile people, allowing them to remain in their own homes. Personal alarms with remote support, monitoring of environmental alarms (e.g. smoke and gas detectors) and automatic falls detection technology are all examples of telecare applications.

There are four major categories of CAT devices on the market specifically designed to support PWD: (a) Memory aids for people with memory loss: such as voice reminder, automated prompts, medication management, object locators (e.g., key or glasses), and picture phones (King & Dwan, 2019), (b) Orientation and location aids (outdoor): such as various GPS tracking devices, smart sole and smartphone apps that are especially helpful for seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia who wander (Schaat et al., 2020), (c) Safety and security aids: in-home pager, electrical use and temperature/bath monitoring, and activity monitoring systems (Boletsis et al., 2015; McKenzie et al., 2013), (d) Telecare or telehealth devices that monitor and assess physiological activity remotely as well as transmit reading to a healthcare professional in a hospital or help center (Gately et al., 2020).
Security analysis and application of Chebyshev Chaotic map in the authentication protocols

In 2013, Guo et al. [13] proposed chaotic map-based authentication protocol. But Hao et al. [14] found the scheme was not resistant to the user traceability and uses two secret keys. Therefore, Hao et al. proposed a new scheme better than Guo et al.'s technique. In 2014, Jiang et al. [15] observed the weaknesses in Hao et al.'s protocol. The protocol was vulnerable to the stolen smart card attack. In 2014, Lee [16] found that Guo and Zhang's scheme [17] vulnerable to password guessing and violates the security of the session key. Therefore, he proposed a new password based authentication scheme, but according to the discussion in this paper, it has been observed, this scheme is not resistant against the violation of security of the session key. In 2016, Li et al. [18] presented a secure effective a chaotic map-based authentication and key agreement protocol for healthcare. Moreover, Madhusudhan et al. found that scheme is not resistant against password guessing, impersonation, and an impersonation attacks. In 2018, Zhang et al. [19] presented a new scheme of the authentication protocol for the telemedicine system. But, it can be observed this scheme is also vulnerable to identity guessing, password guessing, and replay attacks. In 2018, Madhusudhan et al. [20] proposed a robust authentication scheme for the telecare medical information system. But we observe that their scheme is vulnerable to identity guessing, password guessing, impersonation, and stolen smart card attacks. Moreover, in 2018 Li et al. [21] presented a secure authentication protocol for the remote user in the telecare medicine information system environment. It has been observed, this scheme is also vulnerable to password guessing as well as session key security, a concept discussed in Bergamo et al.'s scheme [22].

Telecare is a system combining electronic devices, information and communication technology, and professional practices (Meidert et al., 2013). This system provides healthcare service for people at a distance. Telecare products such as advanced diagnostics, biosensors, vital sign measurement, electronic health records, home accessing device, and assistive living services have been developed to fulfill older users’ needs (Cimperman et al., 2016). Increasing pressure in the healthcare sector is driving the need for changes in the way health services are delivered and organized (Cimperman et al., 2016). Telecare provides tools for remote, automatic, and passive self-monitoring (Steventon et al., 2012) and involves exchange of data between a patient and healthcare professionals as part of the patient’s diagnosis and healthcare management (McLean et al., 2011). It may help patients to better understand their health conditions, encourage better self-management of health problems, and alert professional support if devices signal a problem (Steventon et al., 2012). As a consequence, telecare services promise better quality and more appropriate care for all patients, as well as more efficient use of healthcare resources by reducing the need for expensive hospital care (Steventon et al., 2012). Thus, telecare services have the potential to relieve healthcare problems concerning limited resource, imbalanced healthcare quality, and increased medical cost (Wu & Lu, 2014). Telecare helps for the patients to maintain their autonomy and allow them to live independently for a long period of time (Meidert et al., 2013). Field studies have shown promising results in the use of telecare devices. For example, the Department of Health’s Whole System Demonstrator in the UK has shown that mortality can be reduced by 45% (death rates for the intervention and control group were 4.6% and 8.3%, respectively) and emergency admissions by 20% because of using telecare devices in a study with over 3200 participants (Steventon et al., 2012). To resolve insufficient healthcare resource in Hong Kong, promoting telecare devices usage might be an effective and cost-efficient solution. However, user acceptance is an essential challenge faced by healthcare providers that consider to provide telecare services (Deng et al., 2014). With the seniors as the main target population, these conservative users pose a big barricade to the success in implementing innovative telecare services (Cimperman et al., 2016).
