Cloud-based health monitoring system based on Commercial Off-The-Shelf hardware

Abstract

© 2016 IEEE. In this paper we propose a three-layered architecture for the implementation of cloud-based health monitoring system that utilizes ubiquitous commercial health measuring devices. The main advantage of such a solution over the solutions that use proprietary medical hardware is the availability and the number of existing health devices and also relying on the expertise of their vendors. We also identify critical issues and problems that could arise in each layer of such a system. Finding a solution for these issues will be a main requirement for the future implementations of the system.
