Abstract

The blending of Cloud Computing and IoT or CloudIoT provides an efficient paradigm to connect varied medical resources and dispense efficient, reliable, agile, and intelligent healthcare services to the patients with chronic illness. With CloudIoT, healthcare systems have been augmented with ubiquitous health monitoring and critical care services. The popularity of CloudIoT-driven healthcare applications has only surged in today’s world due to minimal cost implications and pervasive feature of sensor-based computing. Since IoT devices have constrained storage and processing power, as such are unable to provide efficient e-health facilities and process or store humongous volume of collected medical data. Thus, integrating IoT with Cloud provides a seamless platform for bridging the gap among dissimilar objects and regulating escalating resource requirements in healthcare sector. Although CloudIoT architecture contributes toward effective patient care, yet it is challenging, given the issue of reliability and security of the patient information. The framework also ...
