Abstract
Purpose: Smart cities that support the execution of health services are more and more in evidence today. Here, it is mainstream to use IoT-based vital sign data to serve a multi-tier architecture. The state-of-the-art proposes the combination of edge, fog, and cloud computing to support critical health applications efficiently. However, to the best of our knowledge, initiatives typically present the architectures, not bringing adaptation and execution optimizations to address health demands fully.
Methods: This article introduces the VitalSense model, which provides a hierarchical multi-tier remote health monitoring architecture in smart cities by combining edge, fog, and cloud computing.
Results: Although using a traditional composition, our contributions appear in handling each infrastructure level. We explore adaptive data compression and homomorphic encryption at the edge, a multi-tier notification mechanism, low latency health traceability with data sharding, a Serverless execution engine to support multiple fog layers, and an offloading mechanism based on service and person computing priorities.
Conclusions: This article details the rationale behind these topics, describing VitalSense use cases for disruptive healthcare services and preliminary insights regarding prototype evaluation.
期刊介绍：
Health and Technology is the first truly cross-disciplinary journal on issues related to health technologies addressing all professions relating to health, care and health technology.The journal constitutes an information platform connecting medical technology and informatics with the needs of care, health care professionals and patients. Thus, medical physicists and biomedical/clinical engineers are encouraged to write articles not only for their colleagues, but directed to all other groups of readers as well, and vice versa.By its nature, the journal presents and discusses hot subjects including but not limited to patient safety, patient empowerment, disease surveillance and management, e-health and issues concerning data security, privacy, reliability and management, data mining and knowledge exchange as well as health prevention. The journal also addresses the medical, financial, social, educational and safety aspects of health technologies as well as health technology assessment and management, including issues such security, efficacy, cost in comparison to the benefit, as well as social, legal and ethical implications.This journal is a communicative source for the health work force (physicians, nurses, medical physicists, clinical engineers, biomedical engineers, hospital engineers, etc.), the ministries of health, hospital management, self-employed doctors, health care providers and regulatory agencies, the medical technology industry, patients'' associations, universities (biomedical and clinical engineering, medical physics, medical informatics, biology, medicine and public health as well as health economics programs), research institutes and professional, scientific and technical organizations.Health and Technology is jointly published by Springer and the IUPESM (International Union for Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine) in cooperation with the World Health Organization.
