Toward a Smart Health-Care Architecture Using WebRTC and WoT

By coupling the real-time communication capabilities of WebRTC and the advantages brought by the Web of Things (WoT), we introduce the design of a new flexible healthcare architecture, in order to propose divers e-health services. In this ongoing work, we mainly focus on the services related to the remote healthcare of patients and elderly persons. We illustrate the interest of our architecture through the analysis of three main use cases: a remote and continuous monitoring of elderly peoples and a remote medical examination of patients and emergency intervention in case of an accident.
