Abstract
In this chapter, we highlight and analyze the role of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), Edge and Cloud Computing Infrastructures to develop the new generation of healthcare systems for the elderly. The fast development in Edge computing technologies leads to the implementation and decentralized deployment of healthcare systems at a large scale. Indeed, offloading computation from upper levels of Cloud computing towards edge devices represents many benefits to the Cloud digital ecosystem. However, integrating these new paradigms and related technologies poses many challenges at design and implementation levels and data integration, data privacy, reliability and real-time control, anomaly detection, etc. We focus, in particular, on the IoMT data stream processing, which has become the basis for much real-time monitoring and diagnosis in healthcare applications. The presentation is exemplified by computations done with the real-life REALDISP dataset for activity recognition.
