A Prototype of Big Data Platform for Seniors Care

Abstract

The global elderly population is on the rise. By 2050, it is projected to reach 1.5 billion. That is why society should pay attention to this phenomenon with due attention. One effective strategy for this challenge is leveraging modern IT technologies. In line with this, we propose the prototype of a new platform designed for elderly care. Its architecture is structured into four layers: UX/UI, business logic, service program, and a diverse device layer. A significant strength of this platform is its comprehensive suite of microservices, which includes a medical manager, a personal daily schedule (PDS) manager, and a questionnaire manager. Another notable feature of the platform is its capability to work with Big Data, enhancing its utility and scope. Additionally, the prototype incorporates a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The platform is implemented with FIWARE components.
