A new architecture of Internet of Things and big data ecosystem for secured smart healthcare monitoring and alerting system

Abstract Wearable medical devices with sensor continuously generate enormous data which is often called as big data mixed with structured and unstructured data. Due to the complexity of the data, it is difficult to process and analyze the big data for finding valuable information that can be useful in decision-making. On the other hand, data security is a key requirement in healthcare big data system. In order to overcome this issue, this paper proposes a new architecture for the implementation of IoT to store and process scalable sensor data (big data) for health care applications. The Proposed architecture consists of two main sub architectures, namely, Meta Fog-Redirection (MF-R) and Grouping and Choosing (GC) architecture. MF-R architecture uses big data technologies such as Apache Pig and Apache HBase for collection and storage of the sensor data (big data) generated from different sensor devices. The proposed GC architecture is used for securing integration of fog computing with cloud computing. This architecture also uses key management service and data categorization function (Sensitive, Critical and Normal) for providing security services. The framework also uses MapReduce based prediction model to predict the heart diseases. Performance evaluation parameters such as throughput, sensitivity, accuracy, and f-measure are calculated to prove the efficiency of the proposed architecture as well as the prediction model.

Big Data Knowledge System in Healthcare

The health care systems are rapidly adopting large amounts of data, driven by record keeping, compliance and regulatory requirements, and patient care. The advances in healthcare system will rapidly enlarge the size of the health records that are accessible electronically. Concurrently, fast progress has been made in clinical analytics. For example, new techniques for analyzing large size of data and gleaning new business insights from that analysis is part of what is known as big data. Big data also hold the promise of supporting a wide range of medical and healthcare functions, including among others disease surveillance, clinical decision support and population health management. Hence, effective big data based knowledge management system is needed for monitoring of patients and identify the clinical decisions to the doctor. The chapter proposes a big data based knowledge management system to develop the clinical decisions. The proposed knowledge system is developed based on variety of databases such as Electronic Health Record (EHR), Medical Imaging Data, Unstructured Clinical Notes and Genetic Data. The proposed methodology asynchronously communicates with different data sources and produces many alternative decisions to the doctor.

Big Data Analytics in Healthcare Internet of Things

Nowadays, wearable medical devices play a vital role in many environments such as continuous health monitoring of individuals, road traffic management, weather forecasting, and smart home. These sensor devices continually generate a huge amount of data and stored in cloud computing. This chapter proposes Internet of Things (IoT) architecture to store and process scalable sensor data (big data) for healthcare applications. Proposed architecture consists of two main sub-architecture, namely, MetaFog-Redirection (MF-R) and Grouping & Choosing (GC) architecture. Though cloud computing provides scalable data storage, it needs to be processed by an efficient computing platforms. There is a need for scalable algorithms to process the huge sensor data and identify the useful patterns. In order to overcome this issue, this chapter proposes a scalable MapReduce-based logistic regression to process such huge amount of sensor data. Apache Mahout consists of scalable logistic regression to process large data in distributed manner. This chapter uses Apache Mahout with Hadoop Distributed File System to process the sensor data generated by the wearable medical devices.

Big Data Security Intelligence for Healthcare Industry 4.0

Nowadays, sensors are playing a vital role in almost all applications such as environmental monitoring, transport, smart city applications and healthcare applications and so on. Especially, wearable medical devices with sensors are essential for gathering of rich information indicative of our physical and mental health. These sensors are continuously generating enormous data often called as Big Data. It is difficult to process and analyze the Big Data for finding valuable information. Thus effective and secure architecture is needed for organizations to process the big data in integrated industry 4.0. These sensors are continuously generating enormous data. Hence, it is difficult to process and analyze the valuable information. This chapter proposes a secure Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) architecture to store and process scalable sensor data (big data) for health care applications. Proposed Meta Cloud-Redirection (MC-R) architecture with big data knowledge system is used to collect and store the sensor data (big data) generated from different sensor devices. In the proposed system, sensor medical devices are fixed with the human body to collect clinical measures of the patient. Whenever the respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and blood sugar exceed its normal value then the devices send an alert message with clinical value to the doctor using a wireless network. The proposed system uses key management security mechanism to protect big data in industry 4.0.
