Intelligent Interactive Multimedia Systems for e-Healthcare Applications

Abstract

Industry 4.0 and its major empowering advancements in data, information, and communication are changing the world of services as well as development. The major impact of this can be observed in the healthcare sector, where eHealth and its whole environment are being reformed by the Internet of things, cloud and fog computing, and big data technologies, pushing it toward Healthcare 4.0. Health care 4.0 can be perceived as an assortment of technical processes emerging in the form of physical, biological, and computerized worlds pointed toward upgrading the viability and reliability of wellbeing and principles for the change of data into usable and accessible data by health experts. Yet, it is a dynamic challenge to operationalize and subjectively clarify the commitments and contributions of Industry 4.0 with regard to the health sector. This paper gives a glance at the health sector connected to Industry 4.0 and its attributes. Furthermore, a review of key execution situations are examined and furthermore address the open challenges for the extended utilization of innovation in the sector.
