Abstract :
Internet of Things (IoT) considers a future that
can connect something/someone/ any service with
appropriate information communication technology that it
brings innovation in the fields of home, smart home,
medical system, article surveillance, and logistics. Because
of this inclination, this paper develops a trailblazer:
Internet of Things-aware, intelligent architecture, that can
be used to monitor and track patients and other related
computing devices personnel, and within hospitals
premises. In line with the IoT vision, we propose IoT based
healthcare architecture dependent on different but
complementary technologies, especially the WSN, RFID,
and smart mobile, all interacting via a Constrained
Application Protocol (CoAP) over low-power wireless
personal area network (6LoWPAN) framework. The
framework possesses the capability to gather data
instantaneously in natural status and in physical
conditions of patients after which it gets processed for
analysis, thereby providing services to the user. The
proposed model also focuses on the security aspect in the
network of the healthcare system. The security model
proposes IoT based medical services which comprises
three security services: protection, detection and reaction
services which help to detect and analyze the network.
Finally, we suggested a use case scenario to refine the
application framework.
