Mobile and wireless sensor healthcare model based on cloud computing

Abstract

The paper presents a healthcare model based on cloud computing technology. This model includes wireless body area sensor networks (WBASNs), mobile applications and clouds. The application can be installed on a mobile device with functions of collecting data from sensors, storing data into a local database and posting data to the cloud. The PHP scripts insert, edit, delete data to/from MySQL database and push notification to users following requests. The operational web manages access to the accounts and sets up user permissions. In addition, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication is used for interface of sensors and mobile application. HTTP protocol and JSON format are used to exchange data between mobile applications and a cloud. There are also some public clouds which are used in the model such as Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), Google Maps, Google Maps Directions and Google Maps Geocoding.
