Survey of Applications of Complex Event Processing (CEP) in Health Domain

Abstract

Abstract:It is always difficult to manipulate the production of huge amount of data which comes from multiple sources and to extract meaningful information to make appropriate decisions. When data comes from various input resources, to get required streams of events form this complex input network, the one of the strong functionality of Business Intelligence (BI) the Complex Event Processing (CEP) is the appropriate solution for the abovementioned problems. Real time processing, pattern matching, stream processing, big data management, sensor data processing and many more are the application areas of CEP. Health domain itself is a multidimension domain such as hospital supply chain, OPD management, disease diagnostic, Inpatient, out-patient management, and emergency care etc. In this paper, the main focus is to discuss the application areas of Complex Event Processing (CEP) in health domain by using sensor device, such that how CEP manipulate health data set events coming from sensor devices such as blood pressure, heartbeat, fall detection, sugar level, temperature or any other vital signs and how these systems respond to these events as quickly as possible. Different existing models and application using CEP are discussed and summarized according to different characteristics.

A Review on Complex Event Processing in RFID System

“…It is a wireless communication technology that used radio frequency waves for detecting, tracking, and searching objects. The implementation of RFID technology has been widely implemented as well as integrated into many other technology and applications such as logistics and supply chain visibility [1], [2], medical and healthcare [3], [4], and real-time location system [5].…”
