RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Telemonitoring system for infectious disease prediction in elderly people based on a novel microservice architecture A1 Castillo Sequera, José Luis A1 Calderón Gómez, Huriviades A1 Mendoza Pittí, Luis A1 Vargas Lombardo, Miguel A1 Gómez Pulido, José Manuel A1 Sanz Moreno, José A1 Sención, Gloria K1 Artificial intelligence K1 e-Health K1 Elderly people K1 Infectious diseases K1 Microservice architecture K1 Microservices K1 Telemonitoring K1 Informática K1 Computer science K1 Medicina K1 Medicine AB This article describes the design, development and implementation of a set of microservices based on an architecture that enables detection and assisted clinical diagnosis within the field of infectious diseases of elderly patients, via a telemonitoring system. The proposed system is designed to continuously update a medical database fed with vital signs from biosensor kits applied by nurses to elderly people on a daily basis. The database is hosted in the cloud and is managed by a flexible microservices software architecture. The computational paradigms of the edge and the cloud were used in the implementation of a hybrid cloud architecture in order to support versatile high-performance applications under the microservices pattern for the pre-diagnosis of infectious diseases in elderly patients. The results of an analysis of the usability of the equipment, the performance of the architecture and the service concept show that the proposed e-health system is feasible and innovative. The system components are also selected to give a cost-effective implementation for people living in disadvantaged areas. The proposed e-health system is also suitable for distributed computing, big data and NoSQL structures, thus allowing the immediate application of machine learning and AI algorithms to discover knowledge patterns from the overall population.
