A study on smart home for medical surveillance: contribution to smart healthcare paradigm

Nowadays, healthcare and human well-being in general have been profoundly flustered by the current novel technologies that have created a fresh ground for e-health and smart healthcare innovations. The key benefit of e-health and smart healthcare is the appropriate utilization, management and analysis of generated data from trending technologies like sensors, wearables, smartphones, Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and Internet of Things (IoT) to improve people's quality of life. Hence, a smart home conception following specific architectures and using the appropriate technologies of medical surveillance would form an essential aspect for the smart healthcare paradigm. Accordingly, an optimal design and architecture for an intelligent home and an effective intelligent healthcare would consider a resilient balance of IoT, MAS and an adequate machine learning model for human behavior analysis. In this paper, a new smart home design for medical surveillance is proposed in order to contribute to the expansion of the number of smart healthcare users and providers on a winner-winner relationship that promotes individuals comfort and prosperity and drives-up the Information Technology contributions and business.
