Abstract:
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been widely used to interconnect the available
medical resources and offer smart, reliable, and effective healthcare service to the
elderly people. Health monitoring for active and assisted living is one of the
paradigms that can use the IoT advantages to improve the elderly lifestyle. In this
paper, we present an IoT architecture customized for healthcare applications. The
proposed architecture collects the data and relays it to the cloud where it is processed
and analyzed. Feedback actions based on the analyzed data can be sent back to the
user. A prototype of the proposed architecture has been built to demonstrate its
performance advantages
