Abstract
This article makes a literature review of applications developed in the health industry which are focused on patient care from home and implement a service-oriented (SOA) design in architecture. Throughout this work, the applicability of the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) in the field of telemedicine and health care in general is evaluated. It also performs an introduction to the concept of SOA and its main features, making a small emphasis on safety aspects. As a central theme, the description of different solutions that can be found in the health industry is developed, especially those whose goal is health care at home; the main component of these solutions are body sensor networks. Finally, an analysis of the literature from the perspectives of functionalities, security implementation and semantic interoperability is made to have a better understanding of what has been done and which are probable research paths to be studied in the future.
Highlights
Remote healthcare has boomed in recent years, as different mechanisms of remote patient health have been developed
For the final selection of articles to be included, we took into account the approach that was given to this article
This article deals with applications based on telemedicine, those that implement solutions for patient care at home; these applications had to implement a service-oriented architecture
Summary
Remote healthcare has boomed in recent years, as different mechanisms of remote patient health have been developed. When we refer to telemedicine, we refer to the provision of medical services remotely through technology Within these services, we can include diagnostic or consultations with specialists; this process occurs mainly in areas of difficult access. The sensor nodes have several limitations such as data aggregation, security, heterogeneity of the sensors’ networks, power consumption, among others [4,5] Security in this type of applications is important, as the type of data being processed and stored is very sensitive, which is why we will consider this topic when selecting the final list of papers. The functionality of a service-oriented architecture is the exposure of one or more interfaces through a given program These interfaces define different methods that are accessible through the network.
