Toward Building a Social Internet of Medical Things (SIoMT) Network

摘要

The emergence of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has opened up enormous opportunities in the path of advanced healthcare. The advancement in wearable sensors and integration of IoT technologies into medical applications is transforming the way we deliver healthcare. Also, the advent of Social Internet of Things (SIoT) paradigm has introduced a scalable approach to handle interactions among IoT devices. Recognizing the merits of a SIoT network over traditional IoT network, this paper envisages the incorporation of socially enabled IoT into smart healthcare termed as Social Internet of Medical Things (SIoMT) by proposing a cloud-based framework for SIoMT systems. The proposed framework is modeled semantically and instantiated with the help of semantic web languages. In addition, a relationship management approach has been defined to handle relationships among SIoMT devices.
