Design and implementation of a wireless IoT healthcare system based on OCF IoTivity

Abstract

The development of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have enabled healthcare systems to use remote, autonomous and intelligent services through electronic devices such as IoT devices, smart phones and e-health sensors. The e-health is a part of the healthcare system that comprised of electronic devices with information and communication technology (ICT) for healthcare services. Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) IoTivity is a standard solution for communications between IoT devices. In this paper, we propose a wireless IoT healthcare architecture based on OCF IoTivity. Also, we design and implement wireless e-health device, mobile e-health client, and wireless e-health server based on proposed architecture for the standard IoT communications between them.
