Abstract
This paper presents a distributed platform based on Cloud Computing for management of pervasive healthcare data. Pervasive applications through continuous monitoring of patients and their context generate a vast amount of data that need to be managed and stored for processing and future usage. Cloud computing and service-oriented applications are the new trends for efficient managing and processing data online. The cloud platform utilized in this work is especially developed for the support of sensors and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication infrastructures. This paper presents an integrated system for managing sensor data related to the detection of disabled or elderly citizens falls. Wearable sensors collect the fall related data, which are then handled by the Cumulocity Cloud Platform.
