Four Pillars of IoT in Health Application

Abstract

The internet of everything (IoE) is a concept that resides upon four distinctive pillars: people (connecting people in more relevant, valuable ways), data (converting data into intelligence to make better decisions), process (delivering the right information to the right person or right machine at the right time) and things (devices and objects connected to each other, also known as internet of things, IoT). The purpose of this contribution is to align the four IoE pillars to the available mobile data sources in order to create a database of significant size, available for the medical research society. Each one of the four pillars is analyzed and the possibilities, advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
