Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is making possible the development of applications in many markets, such as buildings, home, industrial and healthcare. Concerning the healthcare market, there are a lot of challenges in the design, development, and deployment of these applications, such as interoperability, availability, usability, and security. To contribute to solve the aforementioned challenges, we proposed a software reference architecture, named Reference Architecture for IoT-based Healthcare Applications (RAH), to systematically organize the main elements of this domain, its responsibilities and interactions, promoting a common understanding of these applications’ architecture. RAH presents software architectural solutions (i.e., architectural patterns and tactics) documented using architectural views. This work aims to present RAH and instantiate it to design the software architecture of an IoT-based healthcare platform for intelligent remote monitoring of the patient’s health data.
