Abstract
Health issues (concerning human being) are critical nowadays. Due to heavy workload and less time, human beings do not have sufficient time to consult a doctor regarding their health. Healthcare industry has a different generation like healthcare 1.0 to healthcare 4.0. Healthcare 3.0 is focused on hospitals, where patients have to visit multiple hospitals for their routine examination, making them suffer through long-lasting sickness. It turns a patient into a lengthy process of examination and also it increases the overall budget of treatment. However, with the help of Fog Computing (FC), the above-said problem can be minimized by investing less money on computing and storage facility in respect of data related to patients. Healthcare 4.0 is working on FC platform. FC extends cloud computing platforms with additional computing, storage and networking resources, placed near end-user devices. FC deploying fog nodes throughout the network is deployed in target areas like cars and offices etc. When an IoT device generates the data, then it will be analyzed by one of the fog nodes without sending back to the cloud. The main aim of this chapter is to provide a systematic view of the technology used for FC in healthcare 4.0. This chapter also gives a comparative study of the different version of healthcare with current version 4.0. Further, different researchers view about healthcare industry is discussed in detail. This chapter also discussed the importance of FC in healthcare with the help of some case studies for better understanding in solving health-related issues.
