An Integrated Architecture for Remote Healthcare Monitoring

Abstract-This position paper advocates applying the monitoring pogwer of IoT to build profiles of user behaviour using the large volumes of collected data. The desired system exploits sensor data mining approaches to profile user behaviour patterns in smart environments. Sensor data is mined to extract relationships of interest between environmental variables (context) and the user, building in this way behaviour profiles. The capability of applying knowledge to manipulate user's environment is expected take monitoring beyond the simple alert-mode of operation to long term profiling of user's behaviour. After a brief literature review to prove the suitability of IoT as a low-cost unsupervised profiling platform, we give the details of our proposal and the objectives that needs to be met before user behaviour profiling across inter-spaces is possible.

“…As a crucial requirement for AAL systems, home automation services must address the specific needs of users, closely related to their disability, but also the configuration of their living space. In [9], different requirements of the various users, according to their capabilities and disabilities, in addition to the evolution of these requirements must be considered, as well as the evolution of the living space. This includes the ability of adapting the services dynamically without user intervention.…”

“…The main objectives of InCASA project are to provide elderly people with solutions to monitor their health conditions when they are at their homes, to provide General Practitioners (GPs) and health professionals with technological facilities to remotely analyze and control elderlies' health conditions, and to ensure care continuity through the interaction between the elderly at home and his/her health professionals [9], [25], [26]. In order to meet its objectives, InCASA architecture is organized into three main tiers which purpose at providing integrated solutions and services to control the environment and health conditions for the elderlies and give feedback and alerts to the users.…”

“…GiraffPlus system architecture is designed by integrating a middleware infrastructure that hiding the heterogeneity of the computational resources used in the living space, since that the services provided by the system components are developed using different technologies and connecting with each other using different protocols.  InCASA system is developed using an architecture that allows for the main blocks of the system to communicate regardless the used protocols or the coding modules [24], which in turns undertake the heterogeneity of protocols, which are used in the Body Sensor Network and in the Home Sensor Network [9]. The functional architecture of InCASA are realized using four levels of communication at home, with service center and with external users such as relatives, caregivers and general practitioners, which give different users of the system the ability to use the system and interact with it from different locations.…”

Abstract. The growing number of older people emerges the need to consider autonomy concerns for those people and their need for intensive care. Plenty of researches, such as those in the domain of Ambient Assisted Living Systems, have been carried out to create enhanced conditions for older and people with disabilities, based on providing ICT solutions that enhance the well-being of elderly people and provide them with well independent daily living. In this paper, for better efficiency for such solutions, different essential requirements should be realized to meet those system objectives towards various users. These requirements are identified and introduced. Set of systems has been introduced with their solutions and provided services architecture, to reach the main goal of this work, by evaluating these systems from identified requirements perspective, by studying the functionalities of each system, if they meet the proposed requirements.
