Occupational Health Service Platform Architecture based on IoT and Edge Computing

This paper proposes an occupational health service platform architecture based on Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing. In the proposed architecture, various types of IoT devices are used to collect workers' health status and occupational environment status. The functionalities defined in the platform running in a distributed way between the edge and core clouds are tailored to the characteristics of the workers' physical and mental healthcare system, as well as features for the improvement of the occupation environment. With the proposed idea, it enables to provide comprehensive capabilities for industrial health services, including worker health management, occupational environment enhancement, and human resource management.
