INTER-Health: An Interoperable IoT Solution for Active and Assisted Living Healthcare Services

Abstract

The paper presents the first results of the ongoing INTER-Health pilot coming out from the application of the strategy proposed and developed within the framework of the INTER-IoT (Horizon 2020) European project. The novel IoT-based healthcare platform, supporting decentralized and mobile monitoring of assisted livings in highly heterogeneous contexts, has been obtained by integrating other existing heterogeneous, non-interoperable IoT platforms following the INTER-IoT approach to provide value added assisted living mobile healthcare services (respect to the standard "manual" monitoring performed by conventional healthcare centers) in terms of faster detection and correction of wrong lifestyles or high risk critical situations. All the interoperability aspects and technological choices have been presented to discuss the ease of such integration process, also making easier and faster the interaction between doctor and patient drastically reducing the dropout rate of people leaving the pilot.
