Smart health monitoring and management system: Toward autonomous wearable sensing for Internet of Things using big data analytics

The current development and growth in the arena of Internet of Things (IoT) are providing a great potential in the route of the novel epoch of healthcare. The vision of the healthcare is expansively favored, as it advances the excellence of life and health of humans, involving several health regulations. The incessant increase of the multifaceted IoT devices in health is broadly tested by challenges such as powering the IoT terminal nodes used for health monitoring, real-time data processing and smart decision and event management. In this paper, we propose a healthcare architecture which is based analysis of energy harvesting for health monitoring sensors and the realization of Big Data analytics in healthcare. The rationale of proposed architecture is twofold: (1) comprehensive conceptual framework for energy harvesting for health monitoring sensors, and (2) data processing and decision management for healthcare. The proposed architecture is three-layered architecture, that comprised (1) energy harvesting and data generation, data pre-processing, and data processing and application. We also verified the consistent data sets on Hadoop server to validate the proposed architecture based on threshold limit value (TLV). The study reveals that the proposed architecture offer valuable imminent into the field of smart health.
