Engineering IoT Healthcare Applications: Towards a Semantic Data Driven Sustainable Architecture

Part of the Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering book series (LNICST,volume 181)

Abstract

As the number of developed sensors is growing, new Internet of Things applications are being developed. Healthcare applications offer a perfect domain for Internet of Things since they respond to the challenge of the ageing population while offering safe and quality care in the home. We present in this paper a new Internet Of Things architecture for IoT healthcare applications. The architecture focuses mainly on the principles of weak coupling and of semantic data exchange. We present a software architecture based on a message oriented middleware driven by semantic OWL messages.

Keywords
