Abstract

Nowadays, obesity and hypertension are two global health problems that affect the quality of life of people and thus their work life. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm in which everyday objects are equipped with identification, detection, interconnection, and processing capabilities that allow them to communicate with one another and with other devices and services through the Internet to achieve some goal. The IoT great opportunities for monitoring, analyzing, diagnosing, controlling and providing treatment recommendations for chronic-degenerative diseases, such as obesity and hypertension. In this work, we design a smart healthcare platform architecture based on the IoT paradigm; the paper also discusses important literature associating obesity, hypertension, and other chronic-degenerative diseases with the applications of the IoT paradigm. Finally, to validate our architecture, we present the case study of an elderly patient suffering from overweight and hypertension.
