Healthcare Data Fusion and Presentation using Service- Oriented Architecture (SOA) Orchestration Mechanism

Sensors are the eyes and ears of next-generation IT. Electronic devices and smart artifacts (Ordinary objects and materials are digitalized and empowered to be networkable , sensing, sensitive and computational) are being increasingly interlinked to understand the contextual information perfectly and precisely in order to cognitively ponder about the course of actions and to implement the tasks identified dynamically in real-time. There are several domains yearning for such kinds of enablement, seamless connectivity, spontaneous integration, adaptive composition, and cognitive collaboration among different, decentralized and distributed everyday entities and elements in our daily works and walks. Smart Healthcare is the leading topic for research and development. There are several kinds of physical illnesses emerging and evolving. And hence medical professionals are striving hard and stretching further to come out with intelligent healthcare processes, practices and products in order to arrest the spread of diseases and viruses amongst people. Robust and resilient medical instruments, standards, and technologies are being unearthed in order to guarantee better care and cure for humans. With the maturity of multifaceted technologies, smart healthcare vision is on the way to fulfillment. In this paper, we have identified one pervasive and persuasive use case. One such case is implementing a smart environment in a hospital ICU where even a small time difference in treatment can change course of the entire medical procedure. The smart environment is implemented using technologies like zigbee (a wireless communication protocol), OSGi (a middleware) and knoplerfish (a framework for implementing OSGi). .
