Edge-Based IoT Medical Record System: Requirements, Recommendations and Conceptual Design

This paper presents a conceptual architecture, design, and recommendation for the IoT Edge-based healthcare management system. The suggested architecture aims at distributing the workload of system performance (electronic healthcare services), including monitoring, diagnosis, prediction, as well as managing and archiving medical data of patients across different points of the system (at the edge and on the cloud). The proposed system design consists of two main subsystems (one for monitoring tasks and another one for medical record management activities). Both subsystems interact with multiple kinds of database systems (SQL and NoSQL). Transformational-based system for data migration is presented as a contribution of this paper. Two styles of transformation compositions are considered in the architectural design of transformation agents.
