An Open Source Software Architecture and Ready-To-Use Components for Health IoT

This paper presents the definition of a software architecture and implementation as open-source components specially designed for the state-of-art of Health IoT technologies. These activities were conducted through a H2020 project that developed a smart IoT solution for childhood obesity and two contracted Health IoT projects for the leading brazilian clinics in wound treatment. The software components and the guidelines presented in this paper are fully available as github repositories and contributors can find immediate application in Health IoT projects. A survey with contributors in four different countries was conducted about the way the realized software architecture addresses quality requirements for Health IoT. The results shows that the integration of components was the main concern of this team due to the distributed nature of the projects and the implementation of patterns such as API Gateway using open source technologies are very likely to be reused in the future. The initiative continues collecting user's experiences for continuous improvements and research goals.
