Fog, Edge and Pervasive Computing in Intelligent Internet of Things Driven Applications in Healthcare: Challenges, Limitations and Future Use
Afroj Alam, Sahar Qazi, Naiyar Iqbal, Khalid Raza · 2020
The Internet of Things (IoT), fog, edge and pervasive computing are all emerging technologies, which have several promising applications including healthcare. This technology is witnessing a paradigm shift in the healthcare sector, moving out from traditional ways of visiting hospitals. It connects the doctors, patients, and nurses through smart intelligent sensor devices at low cost with high bandwidth networks. In this chapter, we discuss these new computing paradigms precisely and present their applications in ubiquitous healthcare. This chapter also covers various problems and challenges that have been faced by practitioners in the last few years in the field of cloud computing and the IoT that have been solved by fog, edge and pervasive computing.
