Abstract
The majority of older persons are challenged by chronic illnesses, so more innovations are needed for geriatric care. Therefore, technological and modern techniques have been adopted to improve the elderly's health. Different computing solutions have been deployed to store and process the health data such as cloud computing which provides powerful computing resources. However, connecting different kind of things directly to the cloud is inefficient. Fortunately, fog computing has emerged as a new computing solution to complement cloud, it allows computation and data storage closer to the IoT devices. However, managing health data stored in fog computing presents a major issue. It is necessary to consider the importance of performance, availability, storage, and privacy of data in fog computing. In this paper, we propose architecture based on Fog to Cloud computing which is a novel solution and innovative approach that contribute to enhance the synergy between the cloud and fog computing to facilitate the management of elderly health data. To analyze the performance of our model in Fog to Cloud environment, FogWorkflowSim toolkit has been used.
