An ambient assisted living architecture for hospital at home coupled with a process-oriented perspective

Abstract

The growing number of next-generation applications offers a relevant opportunity for healthcare services, generating an urgent need for architectures for systems integration. Moreover, the huge amount of stored information related to events can be explored by adopting a process-oriented perspective. This paper discusses an Ambient Assisted Living healthcare architecture to manage hospital home-care services. The proposed solution relies on adopting an event manager to integrate sources ranging from personal devices to web-based applications. Data are processed on a federated cloud platform offering computing infrastructure and storage resources to improve scientific research. In a second step, a business process analysis of telehealth and telemedicine applications is considered. An initial study explored the business process flow to capture the main sequences of tasks, activities, events. This step paves the way for the integration of process mining techniques to compliance monitoring in an AAL architecture framework.

Navigating the Future of Healthcare: Divulging the Significance of "Patient as an Organization" in the Digital Health Landscape

“…Real-time data will also enable health intervention before problems occur(Why Distributed Care Is the Future of Healthcare -Blog _ Philips, n.d.). Ultimately, all stakeholders bene t from having access to a 360-degree understanding of all relevant data -clinical and nonclinical (Sulis et al, 2022).…”

Container-Based Data Pipelines on the Computing Continuum for Remote Patient Monitoring

“…4) Difficult DevOps process: Complex data processing systems are difficult to efficiently orchestrate (automate, monitor, tune at runtime) and deploy across the Computing Continuum [9]. Finally, each step has different requirements in terms of hardware resources, such as memory and processing, and finding the optimal resource allocation for a given set of available resources adds additional complexity.…”

“…This is done by the use of pipeline specification tools and standards [14]. The pipeline specification tool in the DataCloud toolbox 9 can be used to change the discovered process to an executable pipeline by specifying the containers that correspond to the intended functions of the steps and configuring the pipeline with the proper step-specific parameters. Such parameters and configuration may include the execution environment (Edge or Cloud), required hardware capabilities (e.g., the required RAM and CPU on the device to deploy a step), as well as the step communication/data transmission configurations (e.g., using MQTT or web APIs).…”
