ABSTRACT
Cloud computing and Internet of Things (IOT) are two technologies which though not directly related
have a significant role in our day to day living. These two technologies can be merged together to solve
problems in domains of healthcare, surveillance, assisted living, agriculture, asset tracking. However,
Cloud computing is not an ideal choice for applications that require real time responses due to high
network latency. Hence a new technique “edge computing” was introduced that would push the
computation to the “edge of the network” thereby reducing network latencies. Edge computing can
address concerns involving real time responses, battery power consumption, bandwidth cost as well as
data safety and privacy. In this paper we shall consider the applications of edge computing and IOT in the
field of healthcare. In this research especially, we are exploring the possibilities of integration of
cloud/edge computing and Machine Learning paradigms into a Distributed computing based IOT
Framework. The target is to able to extract relevant information of interest among the huge data that is
typically generated by the front-end Sensor frameworks in IOT devices. Some intelligence can be
included in the front-end module itself to enable the front-end to take a decision on data priority.
Guidance regarding how to achieve this can be provided by a backend IOT server. It is proposed that the
backend server has Machine Learning based implementations to be able to automatically learn data
signatures of interest based on the data it has already received

INTRODUCTION
IoT (Internet of Things) is a framework that uses technologies like sensors, network communication,
artificial intelligence and bigdata to provide real life solutions. These solutions and systems are designed
for optimal control and performance.
Internet of Things (IOT) is a happening Technology given the advancements in allied technologies like
Sensor, Communication and Computing. With these advancements, any leaf node device of today is
capable of “sensing” its surroundings, can perform computation and is addressable by a network address
over a wireless network. This enables solutions to be developed that can map “real life” entities to a
corresponding virtual object. These virtual objects can communicate with each using available
communication technologies and keep the “real life” entity informed about the state of “things”. A control
mechanism between the “real life” entities and the virtual objects is also included as part of this
framework/solution.

Cloud computing comprises topics related to providing computing services and utilities like servers,
storage, databases, networking, software, analytics etc over the internet. Depending on the requirements
of the end user, various services can be provided from a remote location.
Edge computing is a subset of cloud computing where multitude of these services are provided from a
location that is geographically closure to the end user and can thereby serve the purpose of eliminating
network latency.
A typical IOT model comprises an end node device that can communicate with a back-end
computation/data center over a communication medium (Generally Wireless). The communication
channel mostly uses IOT protocols like MQTT/CoAP. Data and Control Messages can be seamlessly
exchanged across the IOT endpoint and a Data Center Server. The Endpoint device can provide ambient
condition information to a Data Centre using various Sensors depending on the domain of interest and get
back information/instructions from backend to perform actions. The Back-End Servers are generally
powerful computing resources and can use computation intensive algorithms to process the data gathered
from the End point devices.
The main challenges around IOT solutions are
The amount of data generated by the sensors are huge. Extraction of relevant information from
the captured data is a challenge. This effort requires development of an algorithm that can extract
abnormalities in captured data for body sensor networks. There have major research scopes in
field of machine learning and sampling algorithms
Given the fact that computation intensive operations are pushed to back end, optimization of Real
Time Response is an area of improvement. Optimizing the amount of data transfer is an area of
interest.
Decentralization of computation. With more and more devices being IOT capable, computation at
one point will create bottleneck in network resources. The computation needs to be distributed
and Task Level Parallelism needs to be achieved. Computation and resource distribution
algorithms are areas of major research interest in this field
Security of the IOT devices.
Power Consumption at End Point Devices. Battery consumption is one of the major concern in
IOT devices as charging these devices may not be an easy affair. This problem is generally solved
by offloading tasks to a back-end server and saving battery power that would have been otherwise
required for in-house computing. This provided a major impetus to research in the domains of
decentralization of computation
Edge computing facilitates network response times, aids decentralization and can also address security
concerns. This is because a large part of the critical computation can now be performed at the “edge
nodes” which would interact with cloud periodically. This provides the facilities of cloud computing sans
its disadvantages. Coupled with Machine learning and Big data tools, high efficacy real time solutions can
be developed.
In this research, we are exploring the possibilities of integration of cloud/edge computing and Machine
Learning paradigms into a Distributed computing based IOT Framework. The target is to able to extract
relevant information of interest among the huge data that is typically generated by the front-end Sensor
frameworks in IOT devices. Some intelligence can be included in the front-end module itself to enable the
front-end to take a decision on data priority. Guidance regarding how to achieve this can be provided by a
backend IOT server. It is proposed that the backend server has Machine Learning based implementations
to be able to automatically learn data signatures of interest based on the data it has already received.
As a use case of the above, we plan to apply the above concepts to Medical applications. There has been a
plethora of medical sensors currently available like

ECG Sensor
Airflow Sensor
Temperature Sensor

Body Position Sensor
Galvanic Skin Response Sensor
Glucometer
EMG Sensor
Determination of whether a data is critical or not should be taken by the leaf device with guidance from
the backend cloud/edge server. The cloud/edge server should be able to learn information from the
current leaf node as well as other nodes it serves and provide guidelines to the endpoint device regarding
priority of decisions. The decision would be based on generic data available as per medical records as
well as personalized data generated.
Real life applications of the above approach would be:
Determine sudden blood pressure fluctuations. Analyze these fluctuations and check whether these
are aberrations or not and alert emergency services accordingly. Such a data is critical and needs real
time attention and therefore should be prioritized over others. Some data patterns might be normal
for some patients but not for others.
Determine body posture movements of the patient and check when the patient is requiring attention
for movement. This can be used for assisted living solutions. [20]
Determine epilepsy seizure based on the analysis from data available from electroencephalography.
[29] Work on algorithms so that the seizure can be detected at a computing resource near the sensor
Work on an algorithm/solution that will prioritize transmission and processing of critical data over
non-critical data
Guide an ambulance to appropriate health center that is the closest, having relevant facilities based
on patient’s health checkup data collected by Body Sensor Networks
LITERATURE SURVEY
In this section, we shall consider the prior arts literature related to edge computing and IOT applications
in healthcare
IOT Applications in Healthcare:
Vikas Vippalapalli et al [16]: Year of Publication: 2016 This proposal is for a low-cost patient healthcare monitoring system model based on lightweight wearable
sensors. These sensing nodes are used for real time detection and analysis of healthcare data of patients.
The devices are designed to be able to collect and share the gathered data among themselves thereby
facilitating information analysis and storage. This also eliminates manual in-efficiencies in the process.
For patient data collection, a Audrino based wearable device with Body Sensor Networks is proposed.
This is integrated with “Labview” to provide remote monitoring capability

missed dosage. The framework alerts the patient regarding medication consumption using alarms. In case
of failure, medical staff is also made aware of the missed dosage.
UtkarshaniJaimini [18]: Year of Publication: 2017 This research proposes a method/framework that can be used to monitor patients medicine intake. It
provides a mechanism to dispense prescribed medications as well as track medication history including
missed dosage. The framework alerts the patient regarding medication consumption using alarms. In case
of failure, medical staff is also made aware of the missed dosage.
R.N.Kirtana et al [19]: Year of Publication: 2017 Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures variation in time interval between consecutive heart beats. HRV
analysis can detect Cardiovascular diseases, Diabetic Mellitus, disease states associated with Autonomic
Dysrhythmia like Hypertension and different chronic degenerative medical conditions. Monitoring HRV
data will help detection of such diseases. In this research work, the authors propose a low-cost and easy to
use Remote HRV Monitoring System based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology for Hypertensive
patients. In this proposal, HRV parameters are calculated based on the data retrieved using Wireless
Zigbee based pulse sensor. This Arduino based systems transmits the data retrieved from monitoring the
patient to a backend server using MQTT an IOT protocol. The application server collects HRV data and
plots graphs.
Shuang Liu [20]: Year of Publication: 2017 This research explores applications of IoT for surveillance and monitoring that is used in every-day life.
These include applications/solutions like security surveillance, health-care, independent living, etc. To
address the problems seen due to data captured from various viewpoints and heterogenous sensors in IoT,
the author has proposed a novel method of class-constrained transfer linear discriminant analysis. This
method helps in extraction of invariant features from the captured data. The research work focusses on
crossview action recognition of IOT monitoring systems and proposes a model that solves the problem of
“human action” detection due to images captured at different angles using the ability of extraction of
feature invariant metrics. The experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed CTLDA can
achieve better results than the state-of-the-art methods.
S.Pinto et al [21]: Year of Publication: 2017 Due to an increase in the population of the aged across the world there has been a growing requirement to
provide solutions that provide living assistance to the elderly population. In this aspect in might be said
that the Internet of Things can provide a new aspect to modern healthcare by providing a more
personalized, preventive and collaborative form of care. This research work presents a living assistance
based IoT solution for the elderly that can monitor and register patient’s vital information as well as
provide mechanisms to trigger alarms in emergency situations. The research work proposes a solution
comprising a wrist band that can connect to the cloud server to monitor and assist elderly people. It claims
to be low power/cost solution with Wireless communication capabilities
P. Dineshkumar et al [22]: Year of Publication: 2016 This research explores the usage of Big Data methods for analyzing data capture by Health Framework
Sensors with the usage of IOT Cloud based solutions. Hadoop Framework is used for analysis of the
medical data thus captured and utilizing proper alert methods a summary of the critical information is
provided to a physician in Real Time. Methods to extract critical data from a BSN Sensors (Body Sensor
Networks) have been explored here. The physician will be able to get real time patient information over
any connectivity service. This should improve healthcare standards
Sourav Kumar Dhar et al [23]: Year of Publication: 2014 This research proposes a solution so that all the Health care sensors that are used for monitoring can
function together. This is done by removing interference among each other and the consequent distortion

of healthcare data. Implementation of such a prototype is discussed in this proposal. For any healthcare
monitoring system to function properly, maintaining the sample rate and delay requirement of each sensor
of the monitoring equipment is mandatory. As resources are limited, this proposal provides a way such
that the ideal sampling rate is maintained and the quality of healthcare data is good. It has been shown
that by interleaving the data per the required sampling rate and dividing larger data with maximum
allowed data size the desired sampling for various sensors can be maintained simultaneously ensuring
quality data transfer and thereby making effective usage of Network Bandwidth
Mohammad-Parsa Hosseini et al [29]: Year of Publication: 2017 This research work focusses on determining characteristics from a Brain Computer Interface using
various sensors like electroencephalography (EEG) and resting state-functional magnetic resonance
imaging (rs-fMRI) along with Diffusion Tensor Imaging for data collection from an epileptic brain. The
proposed solution uses edge computing methods to provide a context aware real-time solution using
invasive as well as noninvasive techniques for monitoring, evaluating and regulating an epileptic brain.
This facilitates detection as well as ensures prompt medical attention (surgical or otherwise) in case of
occurrence of an epilepsy seizure. The main goal of this research is to be able to predict an “ictal onset”
Edge Computing Survey Papers:
Tarik Taleb et al [7]: Year of Publication: 2017 This research work is a survey on MEC (Mobile Edge Computing) that discusses the major enabling
technologies in this domain. It explores MEC deployment considering both the perspectives of individual
services as well as a network of MEC platforms supporting mobility. Different possible MEC deployment
options are also discussed here. It also delves into analysis of a MEC reference architecture and its main
deployment scenarios that can offer multitenancy support for application developers, content providers,
and third parties. This work also details out the current standardization activities and future open research
problems.
Somayya Madakam et al [24]: Year of Publication: 2015

technologies and their usages in our daily life. Major observations made in this document are
a. There is no standard definition of IoT
b. Universal standardizations are required in architectural level
c. Technologies are varying from vendor-vendor and hence there is a need of interoperability.

Cloudlet and Mobile Edge computing and compares their feature sets. With lot of attention towards IOT
and applications that need Real Time Reponses, edge computing has become an area of interest for
researchers

OBSERVATIONS FROM LITERATURE SURVEY
There have been great advancements in computing, connectivity and sensing technologies in recent
years. Low cost Health bands capable of sensing human body conditions (Body Sensor Networks) are
now powered with capabilities of computing and connectivity. [56][16][29]. A lot of healthcare
applications are based now based on IOT paradigm

For some real-time applications “cloud computing” is an overhead due to its high and unpredictable
network latency and hence the idea of edge computing that brings computation closer to the User
Device is gaining in popularity. [13][14][34][43]. It might be noted that in most cases “edge
computing” is a supplement and not a replacement of “cloud computing”
Context aware computations are becoming important in IOT based solutions. [29][20]
HEALTHCARE SOLUTION MODEL BASED ON EDGE COMPUTING
AND IOT
This section focusses on how to intelligently use and prioritize network resources in a IOT framework
over a secure and trust worthy transmission channel for a healthcare based application. This can be
achieved by efficiently preprocessing the input data received from the sensor frameworks at the leaf
devices. For this the leaf device, might take assistance of the back-end cloud servers that has access to
heavy computing resources. The back end can perform the heavy number crunching and advise the end
point device regarding the specific preprocessing to be done to be able to prioritize incoming data from
sensor frameworks. The backend can use Machine Learning and data mining concepts to extract
signatures from incoming sensor data and accordingly provide medical interpretation based on the
captured data. Using this the frontend device can provide an assessment of the patient health condition.
The implementation can be extended to provide a method so that only prominent fluctuations can be
provided to the back end where a physician can analyze the data and conclude. This will help in remote
diagnosis and provide better rural medication where the doctor is away.
It has been observed that due to network latencies cloud computing does not fit into areas that require real
time low latency responses. This is primarily due to the high latency of decisions. This has led to a new
distributed computing architecture proposal in the form of “edge computing” where some part of the
computations can be done at the IOT device or “edge” devices rather than having everything computed in
the cloud. The primary focus of this research would be to marry the concepts of cloud computing and IOT
thereby focusing around improvements in edge computing techniques mainly for healthcare domain

An IOT Endpoint Has multiple sensors connected to it.
An IOT endpoint is connected to a back-end server over a Wireless network
The IOT Endpoint can communicate with the IOT Backend via IOT protocols (MQTT, CoAP)
The backend server
Can perform computation intensive tasks as it has access to high end computing resources.
For computation tasks, the backend can employ various techniques like big data analysis,
Machine learning, neural networks
Can be cloud based. However, our focus would be on edge computing
Can send notifications to the IOT Endpoint
An MQTT client would be running on the IOT Endpoint and an MQTT server would be running in the
cloud (Edge Server). This will provide the transport protocol necessary for communication between the
IOT Endpoint and the data server.
As discussed earlier due to high network latencies cloud computing is not considered and optimum
solution for Real Time Data Analysis. For this purpose, Edge Computing architecture, has been
introduced. Our basic idea can be extended to edge computing architecture where the endpoint device can
perform computation based on guidance from an edge point device which in turn can get data from Cloud
servers. MQTT protocol fits the bill here as well. The IOT device can have an MQTT client, the MQTT
server should be in edge device which in turn can request for other network services from the cloud.
COAP can also be used as an alternative IOT protocol
Tools/Methods that can be used for this implementation

CONCLUSION
Recent advancements in “connectivity” and “sensing” technologies in endpoint devices coupled with
cloud computing has brought in research interests in IOT based solutions for Healthcare, assisted living,
agriculture etc. As a part of this study we will be considered the some of the applications on Edge
Computing in IOT in general, while focusing on Healthcare technologies in the later part of this paper.
We observed that many healthcare solutions require Real Time decision making capabilities. Such a
solution does not prefer cloud computing because of the network delays and latencies that are associated
with it. A working model of such a solution has also been proposed. Such a solution can guide the
endpoint IOT device using IOT protocols like MQTT and at the same time glean information from cloud
and perform the offloaded operations. As a part of our further research we plan to consider multiple IOT
edge servers, their interactions with each other and the End Point devices as well.
