Addressed Problem(-s)

The Topics we focus on

  • Remote monitoring of health conditions of the patients – Body Area Networks (small area sensor networks)
  • Remote monitoring of the human’s activities – sensor-based monitoring systems, support in emergency situations, situated awareness
  • Cloud support systems for processing and analytics of the data generated by the above sensor-based monitoring systems

Main Problems related to the topics

Individual monitoring

  • Security and privacy
  • Data ownership
  • Individual (personal) data analytics
  • Data fusion
  • Edge-Cloud trade-off for processing/analysis sensor data

Crowd modelling and monitoring

  • Collective data analytics
  • Data fusion
  • Security and privacy
  • Data ownership

Existing Solution(-s) (Models, Tools)

  • Heterogeneous data fusion
  • Deep learning in e-health
  • Virtual layer for medical data abstraction/anonymization
  • Thinger.io open source Cloud IoT framework; sensors and actuators (https://thinger.io)
  • Containers technology
  • Existing data: crowdsignals.io, www.physionet.org
  • Situated MAS (crowd or individual modeling)
  • Private Cloud clusters for medical data storage and analytics (Comarch, Philips)
  • FIWARE (www.fiware.org) processing sensor data

Proposed Solution(-s) (Models, Tools)

Data mining

  • High-performance data analysis
  • Context-aware data fusion & processing 
  • Incremental clustering of data streams
  • Adaptive [edge vs cloud] processing of sensor data

Methods and models

  • Artificial Intelligence models and methods
    • Artificial Neural Networks
    • Fuzzy logic
    • Machine learning
    • Bioinspired methods
  • Blockchain
