As the population ages, this will put tremendous pressure on pensions and the medical system. Health insurance for the elderly poses a major challenge to the allocation of limited medical resources. The Internet of Things (IoT) is widely regarded as a potential solution to relieve pressure on healthcare systems. With the rapid development of wireless communication technologies such as backscatter communication, Wi-Fi and 5G, in vivo and in vitro medical devices have been greatly developed. In this article, we propose a real-time big data healthcare analysis system based on the combination of shallow neural networks and deep neural networks. The system consists of two parts: the detection of fog layer abnormality based on shallow neural network and the diagnosis of cloud disease based on deep neural network. The system can not only make full use of the real-time nature of the fog layer but also give full play to its powerful computing power based on reducing the computing pressure of the cloud layer.
