| Popis: | The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way in which we do a number of things including in-home medical care. An in-home care system that uses IoT technology offers a number of benefits; it enables remote monitoring by the caregivers and the physicians, empowers the patient, allowing them to be more independent, offers loved ones peace of mind and reduces costs. This paper through a literature study explores possibilities for the architectural design of an in-home medical care system (IHMCS) that integrates smart devices used for the monitoring of the vitals of a patient. This work proposes using the microservices architectural style and Blockchain technology for the architectural design of the in-home care system. In support of this work, a preliminary proof of concept explores this theoretical framework. |
