A Cloud-Assisted Internet of Things Framework for Pervasive Healthcare in Smart City Environment

Abstract

Recently, cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) have made their entrance in the pervasive healthcare field in smart city environment. However, the integration of IoTs and cloud computing in healthcare domain impose several technical challenges that have not yet received enough attention from the research community. Some of these challenges are reliable transmission of vital sign data to cloud, dynamic resource allocation to facilitate seamless access and processing of IoT data, and effective data mining techniques. In this paper, we propose a framework to address above challenging issues. In addition, we discuss the possible solutions to tackle some of these challenges in smart city environment.
