Abstract:
The IoT (Internet of Things), as the most popular trend in the next generation Internet technologies, has a variety of application domains, including health care. The healthcare domain is a big and significant area where people, different organizations and various institutions get services as well as provide services at the same time. It is one of the few areas that have a huge amount of domain knowledge. A significant part of this knowledge is composed of the data that is produced by the medical devices and sensors. This health data can be processed to monitor the health status of any person. In this paper, a semantic Webapproach forIoT-based healthcare information systems is proposed. To transfer health data collected from IoT devices to smart devices and then from smart devices to the cloud platform without changing its meaning, the ontologies developed for medical devices and the health domain should describe this data. This way, health care services for the clinical domain can process the data according to the defined rules with the help of semantic rules and inference engines.
