Abstract

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is receiving significant attention due to its promise to uplift the healthcare sector in general, and to promote care for the frail and aging patients in particular. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) technology is a key facilitator for AAL. IoMT provides medical services that make smart hospital, doctors and patients interact in harmony leading to elevated healthcare levels. In this paper, we develop an integrated medical platform for remote health monitoring. The proposed multi-layer architecture senses and collects information about the patient vitals alongside his/her surrounding environment. Then, it relays such information to a cloud for storage and data analysis where further actions are applied for a better end user experience. Such data is accessible to the patient's healthcare providers and remote family members through a mobile application. We built and tested a prototype of the proposed IoMT architecture to illustrate how it achieves the AAL goals.

集成物联网医疗平台，用于远程医疗和辅助生活

环境辅助生活(AAL)正受到极大的关注，因为它承诺在一般情况下提升医疗保健部门，特别是促进对体弱和老年患者的护理。医疗物联网(IoMT)技术是AAL的关键推动者。IoMT提供医疗服务，使智能医院、医生和患者和谐互动，从而提高医疗水平。在本文中，我们开发了一个用于远程健康监测的综合医疗平台。所提出的多层架构感知并收集患者生命体征及其周围环境的信息。然后，它将这些信息转发到云进行存储和数据分析，在云中应用进一步的操作以获得更好的最终用户体验。患者的医疗保健提供者和远程家庭成员可以通过移动应用程序访问这些数据。我们构建并测试了提议的IoMT体系结构的原型，以说明它如何实现AAL目标。
