F4PW: Fog Computer for Pregnant Women

Maternal health is very important for healthy and productive populations. Women need access to high quality care during pregnancy. With the significant advance of technology, the use of IoT (Internet of Things) can be a mean to provide a medical quality system. Our paper presents a new architecture called F4PW (Fog for Pregnant Woman). F4PW is inspired from Fog Computing and uses the Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). The purpose of this new architecture is to provide an end-to-end real-time remote monitoring to pregnant women during the pregnancy period. Medical applications cannot tolerate high latency and should be reliable at any time. F4PW provides functionality for quickly processing, analyzing and transmission of collected data.
