IOT enabled comprehensive, plug and play gateway framework for smart health

Abstract

With convergence of digital technology and smart devices, monitoring and tracking data in real time become true. Given the invention of many health vital sensors and activity tracking devices, dynamically measure and monitoring of vital health parameters become easy. The sensors and devices uses numerous protocols and communication methods for transmitting the data. In a conventional setup, it is difficult to connect multiple devices with different proprietary applications and monitor. Moreover, it is cumbersome to control multiple devices and store, analyses all the vitals parameter data. There is no common platform or frameworks available to connect the multiple health sensors and to monitor the vitals simultaneously. This paper proposes the comprehensive, scalable, plug and play smart health gateway for connecting variety of health sensors and allows the devices seamless communication for transmit and control. With IoT enabled, the framework seamlessly connects with cloud services and stream the data for storage, analysis and prediction. The proposed unified framework is not only an efficient building block for connecting many health sensors but also enable seamless connectivity between gateway and cloud platform and services.
