Convergence of IoT and Product Lifecycle Management in Medical Health Care

• Emerging trends in Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) or Medical Internet of Things (MIoT), and miniaturized devices with have entirely changed the landscape of the every corner. Main challenges that heterogeneous sensor-enabled devices are facing during the connectivity and convergence with other domains are, first, the information/knowledge sharing and collaboration between several communicating parties such as, from manufacturing engineer to medical expert, then from hospitals/healthcare centers to patients during disease diagnosis and treatment. Second, battery lifecycle and energy management of wearable/portable devices. This paper solves first problem by integrating IoMT with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), to regulate the information transfer from one entity to another and between devices in an efficient and accurate way. While, second issue is resolved by proposing two, battery recovery-based algorithm (BRA), and joint energy harvesting and duty-cycle optimization-based (JEHDO) algorithm for managing the battery lifecycle and energy of the resource-constrained tiny wearable devices, respectively. Besides, a novel joint IoMT and PLM based framework is proposed for medical healthcare applications. Experimental results reveal that BRA and JEHDO are battery-efficient and energy-efficient respectively.
