Smart Healthcare Systems: An IoT with Fog Computing based Solution for Healthcared

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Image Based Computing for Food and Health Analytics: Requirements, Challenges, Solutions and Practices

Abstract

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has faced a noteworthy challenge in the rise of the rate of morbidity and mortality among people, especially the old, aged patients. The risk of picking up infections may increase at the time of visit that patients make to the hospitals. The application of technology such as the “Internet of Things (IoT)” based on Fog Computing and Cloud Computing turned out to be capable of intensifying the healthcare quality services for the patients. The chapter aims at acquiring a better comprehension and perception into the most effective and new IoT based applications such as Cloud Computing and Fog Computing and their executions in the healthcare field. There are a few research articles chosen after 2015 based on the incorporation and elimination criteria set for the study. The findings of the studies incorporated in this chapter designate that IoT-based Fog Computing and Cloud Computing expand the delivery of healthcare quality services to patients. The technology exhibited high capability in terms of convenience, reliability, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Future studies are needed to incorporate the models that postulated the best quality services using the Fog and Cloud Computation techniques for the different user requirements. Moreover, edge computing could be used to significantly boost the supplies of health services at home.
