A data acquisition architecture for healthcare services in mobile sensor networks
Chanhee Lee, Taehun Kim, Soon Joo Hyun · 2016
Mobile healthcare services have received growing attention due to the rapid technical advancement of sensor devices, sensor networks, and mobile data transmission. Healthcare monitoring services, in general, lack the needed sophistication for the acquisition of the huge amount of healthcare data generated from mobile users. The overhead of filtering out a large amount of unnecessary data that are not directly useful for the healthcare applications is unavoidable. In this paper, we propose a healthcare service architecture and introduce data acquisition software using a database querying facility as a solution to the problem. Our proposed service architecture with the data acquisition scheme effectively bridges the gap between the healthcare application domain and the acquisition of physical data.
