Fog-Based Smart Healthcare as a Big Data and Cloud Service for Heart Patients Using IoT

Abstract

The leading-edge of Internet of Things (IoT) gradually make item available on the Internet but data processing is not scaling effectively to fulfil the requirements of centralized cloud environment. One of the main reason of this problem is that deadline oriented cloud applications such as health monitoring, flight control system and command control system, which needs minimum latency and response time originated by transmission of large amount of data (Big Data) to centralized database and then database to an IoT application or end device which leads to performance degradation. Fog computing is an innovative solution to reduce the delay (or latency), resource contention and network congesti..
