IoT world forum (iotwf) standardized architecture

Summary

The video script explains a process involving smart devices like smartwatches that collect health data (e.g., heart rate, oxygen levels, calories burned) and transmit this information through mobile devices to a server. The data is processed using Big Data analytics to convert it into visible forms like charts, which are then reviewed by doctors. The script also touches upon the use of connectivity technologies like Bluetooth and the Internet, as well as data storage and interpretation for medical purposes, ensuring that doctors receive relevant reports only when needed. This system aims to improve health monitoring and timely medical intervention.

Takeaways

• 😀 The smart watch collects data on an individual's health parameters like heart rate, ECG, oxygen levels, and calories burned.
• 😀 The collected data from the smart watch is transmitted to a mobile phone, which is connected to the internet for further processing.
• 😀 Big data analytics is used to process the health data collected by the smart watch to detect abnormalities in real-time.
• 😀 If any health parameter falls outside the normal range (e.g., oxygen levels), the system generates reports to alert the doctor.
• 😀 These health reports are visualized in charts and graphs for easy interpretation by doctors.
• 😀 The reports are sent to doctors only when necessary, such as when there are abnormal readings or when the doctor requests them.
• 😀 The smart watch continuously collects and updates data to keep track of the individual's health over time.
• 😀 Data is stored securely and can be accessed by the doctor on demand for specific patients based on their unique data requests.
• 😀 The process ensures that only relevant and abnormal health data is flagged for doctor review, minimizing unnecessary alerts.
• 😀 The system operates in layers: physical devices, communication (via Bluetooth and internet), data processing, and application layers to interpret and visualize data effectively.

Q & A

What was the main purpose of the 2014 committee led by companies like Cisco and IBM?

The committee aimed to design a model for health monitoring using smart devices, specifically a smart watch, to track various health parameters like heart rate, ECG, and oxygen levels.

How does the smart watch collect data about the wearer?

The smart watch collects data on various health metrics such as heart rate, ECG, oxygen levels, and calories burned, by being worn by the individual.

What is the role of big data analytics in this system?

Big data analytics processes the collected health data to identify abnormalities and convert it into visible reports, like charts or graphs, to assist in decision-making.

Why are reports only sent to doctors when certain conditions are met?

Reports are sent to doctors only when specific health parameters, such as oxygen levels, fall outside normal ranges, ensuring that doctors are not overwhelmed with unnecessary data.

How does the system ensure data privacy and security for patients?

The system uses data segregation, where each doctor can only access the data of patients they specifically request, ensuring that personal health data is protected and shared only when necessary.

What are the connectivity methods used for data transmission between devices?

The data is transmitted via Bluetooth between the smart watch and the mobile device, and the mobile device uses the internet to transmit data to other systems or doctors.

How does the mobile device play a role in the health monitoring process?

The mobile device receives the data from the smart watch and stores it on the internet. It also helps transmit the processed data to doctors, ensuring timely interventions if needed.

What happens when a patient’s health data deviates from normal parameters?

If a health parameter deviates from the normal range, the system generates a report that is sent to the doctor for evaluation. For example, if oxygen levels drop too low, a report is generated and sent to the doctor.

What are the different layers involved in the health monitoring process?

The process involves multiple layers: the physical device layer (smart watch and mobile), the connectivity layer (Bluetooth and internet), the data processing layer (big data analytics), and the application layer (data interpretation and visualization).

How does the application layer contribute to the overall system?

The application layer is responsible for interpreting the processed data, converting it into a format that doctors can easily understand, such as charts or graphs, for efficient decision-making.
