“…It is known that the elderly population is accepting of technology to monitor their healthcare [3] and a wide range of residential monitoring systems exist [4]. While the interoperability of home networks for healthcare has been considered [5], home gateway solutions have been proposed [6], [7] to manage personal healthcare devices [8], [9]. This paper addresses the technology needed for residential healthcare gateways by presenting a novel software architecture based on dictionary memory that enables the creation of low-cost home gateway devices.…”

2017) Dictionary memory based software architecture for distributed bluetooth low energy host controllers enabling high coverage in consumer residential healthcare environments.Abstract--Technology has been seen as a possible solution to the increasing costs of healthcare and the globally aging population. It is known that many elderly people prefer to stay in their homes for as long as possible and remote monitoring can be a solution, but often such systems lack useful information or are prohibitive due to cost, ease of use/deployment and wireless coverage.This work presents a novel gateway software architecture based on threads being managed by dictionary memory. The architecture has been deployed in a distributed interconnected set of low-cost consumer grade gateway devices using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) that are positioned around the home. The gateway devices can then be used to listen, monitor or connect to BLE based healthcare sensors to continually reveal information about the user with full residential coverage. A further novelty of this work is the ability to maintain handover connections between many sensors and many gateways as a user moves throughout their home, thus the gateways can route information to/from sensors across the consumer's home network. The system has been tested in an experimental house and is now poised to be initially deployed to 100 homes for residential healthcare monitoring before any public mass consumer deployment.

“…Any abnormal readings received by onboard sensors can be sent back to the service center for problem identification and isolation. Interoperability possess great challenges for OBD service integration since different infotainment services provided by different entities may have different QoS requirements while collecting and delivering information through the same system [6]. Both wireless and wired sensors connected to different subnetworks in the vehicle share the same OBD system resources.…”
