Understanding IoHT and Edge/Fog Computing Solutions for Smart In-Home Remote Healthcare
Author:
Abstract: Healthcare information systems have been dominated by cloud technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) for decades today. In some urgent scenarios, we reveal a prevailing architectural framework that is based on fog/edge optimal computing approaches smart in-home remote healthcare solutions and architectures and recognize the challenges and requirements of IoHT devices for diverse utilization instances. Even with these upsides, conventional centralized access constraint confronts privacy problems and patient health data security. This study likewise constructs a “blockchain-enabled edge that computes” mechanism, through which smart contracts with the consensus protocol produced by Edge Intelligent Server are deployed to secure privacy topics and balance scalability in trustless surroundings. We expect this paper to be a significant guideline for the subsequent elaboration of fog/edge-based systems that compute solutions for smart in-home remote healthcare IoT applications. There will be a change of paradigm from “hospital-based” to “distributed patient in-home healthcare”.
