What is the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things
• The term Internet of Things
was first used by Kevin
Ashton in 1999.
• Refers to uniquely
identifiable objects (things)
and their virtual
representations in an
Internet-like structure

Platform manager for
healthcare
 This paper proposes the IoT Platform for healthcare as a suitable self
management model for chronic disease such as hypertension,
obesity, diabetes.

Future of healthcare in a connected world
 Wearable connected devices:
 Remote patient monitoring (RPM)
 Monitoring prescription drugs
 Connected care

Pharmaceuticals :
 Intelligent tags for drugs
 Drug usage tracking
 Pharma. Product
websites
--> Enable the emergency
treatment to be given faster
and more correct

Food:
 Control geographical origin
 Food production
management
 Nutrition calculations
 Prevent overproduction and
shortage
 Control food quality, health and
safety.

Medical sensor device and virtual medical
sensor
 Medical sensor device such as blood pressure monitors
and glucose meters connects physically to IP-enabled
network by using IPv4 or IPv6 in order to use at home or
medical office.
 mobile application is connected to any other devices and
services using the REST (Representational State
Transfer) API [10] on the platform. Identification and
authentication are very important for a family to share
and use medical sensor devices at home.

REST API
 IoT platform uses REST API as an interface as there is no
standard for them to access to the platform. All devices and
services including mobile applications access to the platform by
REST API.
 It is a light weight interface of transferring information over
reliable https network protocol in the IP-enabled network, so that
small sized devices can use the API even if they have some
constraints like low computing power and small memory capacity

Mobile Application Server application on
IoT
 Mobile application provides a significant role of the user
interface of the medical sensor device as well as
information indication channel from the server at hospital.
 Service application provides information with a doctor to
analyze and diagnose patient’s disease as well as
providing information with patient to inform his health
condition.

Health platform
• Some of the instance for Health platform that are
developed to have the people life easier
 Google Google fit
 Apple health kit
 Samsung SAMI

Apple health kit
 An innovative new way to use your health and ﬁtness
information. The Health app gives you an easy-to-read
dashboard of your health and fitness data.
 Heart rate, calories burned, blood sugar, cholesterol your health
and fitness apps are great at collecting all that data. The Health
app puts that data in one place, accessible with a tap, giving you
a clear and current overview of your health. You can also create
an emergency card with important health information

Samsung Digital Health
 Samsung Digital Health helps application developers and healthcare
providers thrive in an open environment that connects, devices and
partner services. Users can experience various health and fitness
services through Samsung Digital Health.
 S Health is an engaging app for fitness and wellbeing that runs on
Android devices not only Samsung devices. It keeps track of users'
health data and data from S Health can be shared with other
applications by using Samsung Digital Health SDK.

Conclusion
 It means that user can manage his own
disease by himself as access to healthcare
services in the platform for healthcare by
using medical device after purchasing it at a
market near his home. In order to provide the
service more effectively, the IoT platform for
healthcare is needed. Therefore, the paper
presented the design requirements for the
model to the platform. Several crucial
components were identified and researched.
