Abstract
The goal of this chapter is to analyze existing solutions for self-aware Internet of Things. It will highlight, from a research perspective, the performance and limitations of existing architectures, services and applications specialized on healthcare. The chapter will offer to scientists from academia and designers from industry an overview of the current status of the evolution of applications based on Internet of Things and Big Data. It will also highlight the existing problems and benefits of the IoT for disabled people or people suffering from diseases and the research challenges found in this area.
The work has been funded by the Sectoral Operational Programme Human Resources Development 2007–2013 of the Ministry of European Funds through the Financial Agreement POSDRU/187/1.5/S/155536.
