“…The BE-MBC component, developed as a software application, can be installed on a smartphone and it communicates with the body sensors worn by the people using multi-radio interfaces as described in [3], [4]. It basically acts as a multiradio communication relay node in order to reach the Edge gateway when the body sensors at the Edge gateway are too far (due to the use of a small-range communication technology) or they cannot be directly connected to it (due to a not easy peering process to be physically executed by the user on the Edge gateway).…”

“…Very recently, smartphones are playing an increasingly important role in modern computing architecture thanks to their mass distribution and the increasing computing resources. They are often used as mobile IoT gateways [3] or to support heterogeneous wireless sensor networks integration [4], but in our opinion, each personal mobile device (i.e. smartphone, smartwatch) can play a central role also in Edge computing architecture.…”

Edge computing paradigm has attracted many interests in the last few years as a valid alternative to the standard Cloud-based approaches to reduce the interaction timing and the huge amount of data coming from IoT devices toward the Internet. In the next future, Edge-based approaches will be essential to support time-dependent applications in the Industry 4.0 context; thus, the paper proposes BodyEdge, a novel architecture well suited for human-centric applications, in the context of the emerging healthcare industry. It consists of a tiny mobile client module and a performing Edge gateway supporting multi-radio and multi-technology communication to collect and locally process data coming from different scenarios; moreover, it also exploits the facilities made available from both private and public Cloud platforms to guarantee a high flexibility, robustness and adaptive service level. The advantages of the designed software platform have been evaluated in terms of reduced transmitted data and processing time through a real implementation on different hardware platforms. The conducted study also highlighted the network conditions (data load and processing delay) in which BodyEdge is a valid and inexpensive solution for healthcare application scenarios.

How 5G Wireless (and Concomitant Technologies) Will Revolutionize Healthcare?

Abstract:The need to have equitable access to quality healthcare is enshrined in the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which defines the developmental agenda of the UN for the next 15 years. In particular, the third SDG focuses on the need to "ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages". In this paper, we build the case that 5G wireless technology, along with concomitant emerging technologies (such as IoT, big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning), will transform global healthcare systems in the near future. Our optimism around 5G-enabled healthcare stems from a confluence of significant technical pushes that are already at play: apart from the availability of high-throughput low-latency wireless connectivity, other significant factors include the democratization of computing through cloud computing; the democratization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cognitive computing (e.g., IBM Watson); and the commoditization of data through crowdsourcing and digital exhaust. These technologies together can finally crack a dysfunctional healthcare system that has largely been impervious to technological innovations. We highlight the persistent deficiencies of the current healthcare system and then demonstrate how the 5G-enabled healthcare revolution can fix these deficiencies. We also highlight open technical research challenges, and potential pitfalls, that may hinder the development of such a 5G-enabled health revolution.

Abstract-A clear majority of coupons distributed by retailers remains exclusively redeemable at the retailer's own store network. Although interoperability among multiple retailers would promise added value for consumers, brands and retailers, technical gaps -primarily involving a lack of common standards and technical interfaces -render such interoperability unfeasible. However, shifting market forces have led to increased usage of mobile apps and retailers applying omni-channel strategies. In turn, leading to new proposed technical coupon standards that enable interoperable cross-retailer coupon distribution and validation. Interestingly, such interfaces have hardly been implemented or tested in a real-world, cross-retailer environment. Moreover, they have received little discussion in public discussions and related literature. This paper addresses and contributes to this gap by presenting findings from an interoperable couponing trial connecting 17 retailers, 8 different mobile applications and one brand, and discusses the chosen interface design necessary for implementation and coupon validation. Further practical pilots are planned to improve the specification and measure consumer and industry acceptance of coupon interoperability.Keywords-interoperability, couponing, system architecture, interface standardization. I. MOTIVATIONThe main motivation of this paper is to extend the contemporary, normative definitions of retail coupons
