Abstract:
With advancement in technology, wireless portable medical instruments are quite common these days. However, these devices come with heterogeneous interfaces, which make them difficult to integrate the data generated in a common repository. Moreover, if a solution is created to integrate a few devices, adding a device with a new interface requires major effort and rework. This paper addresses this problem and suggests a method for integrating various health care instruments for use at home/small clinic on a generic Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) based Internet of Things (IoT) platform and exposing healthcare as a service. Finally the paper demonstrates how an example portal can be used to render the data on the server to end-users who may be patients, medical technicians or expert medical practitioners. This will enable governments or hospitals to offer a SMART Healthcare Services for citizens.
