Different countries may use E-health in Health systems that include all the institutions, organizations, and resources that are devoted to promote, sustain, or restore health. The basic goal of E-health projects is to enhance the delay of the service. Healthcare data now are being moved and collected from Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) environment. Different researches shows that recent E-health application is deployed in distributed computing and especially cloud computing is being used more frequently. Most of these applications are based on intelligent algorithm’s such as KNN, SVM and deep learning algorithms etc… Which require more height power computing and storage capacity, but cloud computing with this delicate algorithm and with the sensitive health domain has some tradeoffs in handling the large amount of data from different IoMT devices, so it effects the delay which can cause risk. We propose Edge Computing to address the limitations of cloud. By transferring some of the computing to the network’s edge, edge computing can significantly increase processing efficiency. In order to accomplish our goal, we first deploy our health application based on IoMT environment in a cloud. Then, we run it in an edge, and we analyze the response times in each of these situations. The experimental study proves that the proposed approach reduces delay in response time compared to the use of clouds.
