4Edge Computing with Operations Research Using IoT Devices in Healthcare: Concepts, Tools, Techniques and Use Cases

Nowadays, IoT devices generate colossal amounts of data. They are used by scientists and researchers to reveal design patterns associated with them. Edge computing is a technology that uses this colossal volume of data through a distributed computing model. The benefit of this technology is that it reduces data traffic by only sending the relevant data across the network. Operations research is a scientific technique that gives executive departments a quantitative foundation for decisions relating to the operations that are within their purview. Edge computing uses this operations research to make decisions based on the scientific method of analysis. Healthcare is the systematic approach where an individual or a community receives medical care. The Internet of Things is a complex interconnected network. It identifies the system of physical objects that embeds sensors with software. It communicates through the exchange of data with other devices with the help of the Internet. Healthcare service with the IoT has made a profound digital change. Smartphones use edge computing to provide home-centric services like remote patient monitoring, reading heart rate and whole-body scanning. The IoT provides comfort in healthcare. Web application in small handy devices helps hospital management, hospital operations management, operations research and drug suggestion. Other ...
