Abstract

The development of medical sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT) offers many opportunities for research on disease diagnosis and prognosis in the electronic healthcare (eHealth) industry. IoT medical applications use wearable medical sensor devices that can be connected to the Internet for remote monitoring. However, cloud computing technology cannot meet the real-time and low-latency requirements of IoT applications in eHealth. As an intermediate layer between things and clouds, fog computing has features such as enhanced low latency, mobility, network bandwidth, security and privacy. Therefore, fog computing is very useful for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases in the eHealth industry. In this paper, we undertake a comprehensive survey on fog computing used in eHealth. We summarize the main challenges in the eHealth industry and analyze the corresponding solutions proposed by the existing works.
