An Integrated Scalable Healthcare Management System Using IOT
摘要
Healthcare management is the challenging task of maintaining the patient’s medical-related data and images. Pervasive computing, which consists of a wireless network, is an innovative medium for medical data transmission. Here, we propose SHMS (Scalable Healthcare Management System) and interoperability, an available and user-friendly platform. It utilizes a huge amount of data and medical images that must be managed and stored for processing and further investigation. In our work, data like heartbeat, temperature, blood pressure, and ECG readings are collected using different sensors and in one gateway protocol. This design is used for transferring, managing, and accessing documents containing health-related information, which is scattered across different system and organization domains. It is scalable because cloud platforms provide communication APIs, the web service interfaces ensure interoperability, the availability makes patients, doctors, or administrators able to access medical-related data anywhere, and Android OS makes it user-friendly. The security of the data collected can be achieved by authenticating storage using a cryptographic ECC algorithm.
