FOG Computing applied to monitoring devices used in assisted life environments (Environment Living); Study case: platform for the elderly.

Today, thanks to the Internet we are connected with the world immediately and uninterrupted. In addition, there are objects provided with connectivity, made available to the individual through technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT). In certain contexts and under privacy considerations, the use of data emanating from said devices is appropriate. Then, new solutions can be created and put at the service of the individual to collect useful information on platforms that allow processing the data and making them available to health personnel so that they can verify behavior patterns that impact people's health (eg. In an earlier project, IoT objects that support the individual towards a healthy old age (digital pillbox) have been built; In addition, projects related to the computer man with these objects have been raised; However, an adequate way of handling the data emanating from these solutions, in order to achieve efficient communication and processing forms. Hence, this research project proposes a solution to maintain the information obtained from IoT devices supported by Fog Computing (allows intermediate processing that improves communication) and located in assisted life environments, to achieve adequate treatment of information. All this applied to the study case of the elderly who makes up a vulnerable sector of the population that demands these solutions.
