“…The obtained results show that the proposed algorithm has a more effective performance compared to various current super-resolution algorithms. Concerning the study in [102], the authors performed an analysis regarding the performance of a narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) that requires considerable communication with less throughput for simple sensors and long-life batteries. The main objective of the research work was to analyze and evaluate the latency and throughput of NB-IoT in healthcare services.…”

Internet of Things (IoT) platforms are desired for realizing an early warning system of COVID-19 detection. The key challenge is to provide solution including sensors to meet the application requirements. We manipulate the diarrhea symptom to assess the COVID-19 case where the virus indirectly can be detected in the wastewater. We proposed COVID-19 early warning detection system architecture from the wastewater comprises of five layers, namely perception layer, connectivity layer, middleware layer, application layer and business layer. Our architecture integrates IoT and machine learning (ML) components to build the total solution. Benefits on the stakeholders can be anticipated including the local authority and hospitals. Key challenges are also discussed in developing the COVID-19 early warning detection system based on the wastewater circumstances.

In ubiquitous health-care monitoring (HCM), wireless body area networks (WBANs) are envisioned as appealing solutions that may offer reliable methods for real-time monitoring of patients’ health conditions by employing the emerging communication technologies. This paper therefore focuses more on the state-of-the-art wireless communication systems that can be explored in the next-generation WBAN solutions for HCM. Also, this study addressed the critical issues confronted by the existing WBANs that are employed in HCM. Examples of such issues include wide-range health data communication constraint, health data delivery reliability concern, and energy efficiency, which are attributed to the limitations of the legacy short range, medium range, and the cellular technologies that are typically employed in WBAN systems. Since the WBAN sensor devices are usually configured with a finite battery power, they often get drained during prolonged operations. This phenomenon is technically exacerbated by the fact that the legacy communication systems, such as ZigBee, Bluetooth, 6LoWPAN, and so on, consume more energy during data communications. This unfortunate situation offers a scope for employing suitable communication systems identified in this study to improve the productivity of WBANs in HCM. For this to be achieved, the emerging communication systems such as the low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) are investigated in this study based on their power transmission, data transmission rate, data reliability in the context of efficient data delivery, communication coverage, and latency, including their advantages, as well as disadvantages. As a consequence, the LPWAN solutions are presented for WBAN systems in remote HCM. Furthermore, this research work also points out future directions for the realization of the next-generation of WBANs, as well as how to improve the identified communication systems, to further enhance their productivity in WBAN solutions for HCM.
