Abstract

Objective: Develop IF-Cloud, an API for prototyping and integrating IoT devices and web applications for healthcare. Method: The case study is a healthcare ecosystem for biosignal monitoring that only performs Create/Read/Update/Delete (CRUD) operations. IF-Cloud receives new operations by uploading python scripts into a graphical user interface. IF-Cloud uses data of FHIR resources coming from some CRUD API and returns another FHIR resource with the data processed by the scripts. Results: a biosignal was registered in the CRUD API for the experiments. Data compression and heart rate calculation are operations included in the ecosystem using IF-Cloud. An application for visualizing biosignals benefits from the addition by displaying heart rate and biosignal simultaneously. Conclusion: IF-Cloud allows the inclusion of new functionalities in healthcare ecosystems by uploading script files.
