Prototype Design and Experimental Evaluation e-Healthcare System based on Molecular Analysis Devices

Recently, wireless body area networks (WBANs) and mobile Internet of Things (IoT) have been greatly increased and integrated into a different type of systems such as electronic/mobile-healthcare (e/m-healthcare) systems. In addition, analyzing the composition of drugs or performing the medical rapid tests in the conditions field are the main tasks of the m-healthcare system, in which the traditional laboratory methods of analysis are not suitable. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a novel structure with a distributed e-health system to perform such analysis, where portable infrared micro spectrometers are utilized and then boundary calculations are applied. More specifically, this system is proposed to use a portable infrared micro spectrometer with a specially designed application connected to a public communication network, which can process the results of analysis using boundary calculations. Moreover, it provides remote processing and long-term storage of analysis data using artificial neural networks and cloud technologies. Finally, simulation results show that preprocessing (error checking), data buffering and Edge Computing can significantly reduce the network latency and volume of transferred data.
