Fog Computing, Remote Health Monitoring, Internet of ThingsAbstract
The growing demand for health monitoring solutions in outdoor environments such as beaches, stadiums, and urban centers highlights the need for efficient and resilient architectures in the context of the Internet of Things. Objectives: To propose a layered architecture for health monitoring in outdoor environments, combining fog and cloud computing for efficient and reliable collection and analysis of health data. Methods: Monitoring is conducted through smartbands and smartphones, utilizing fog computing at the network edge to mitigate connection instabilities. Results: The proposed architecture ensures data integrity even in environments with unstable networks. Conclusion: The solution demonstrates effectiveness in health monitoring in outdoor environments, offering a reliable solution for real-time data collection and analysis despite potential communication network instabilities.
