Abstract

Smart bands are wearable devices that are frequently used in monitoring people’s activity, fitness, and health state. They can be also used in early detection of possibly dangerous health-related problems. The increasing number of wearable devices frequently transmitting data to scalable monitoring centers located in the Cloud may raise the Big Data challenge and cause network congestion. In this paper, we focus on the storage space consumed while monitoring people with smart IoT devices and performing classification of their health state and detecting possibly dangerous situations with the use of machine learning models in the Cloud and on the Edge. We also test two different repositories for storing sensor data in the Cloud monitoring center – a relational Azure SQL Database and the Cosmos DB document store.
