1 Introduction

The integration of sensor-based systems and Internet technology has resulted in significant progress in the field of healthcare technology.The term utilized to refer to this concept is the IoHT.The IoHT employs sensors or Internet of Things(IoT)devices that are integrated with sophisticated mobile technologies in order to facilitate the sharing and analysis of data for the purpose of monitoring individuals’personal health and medical situations[1].IoHT can be seen as an example of a demanding application for personalized healthcare using Mobile Edge Computing(MEC)and cloud services.A cloud-based healthcare data monitoring system employs a Body Sensor Network (BSN) to gather health data,which is subsequently stored and processed on a cloud server.The BSN consists of multiple sensors attached to the Physical Human Body(PHB),including those capable of recording temperature and blood pressure,to capture diverse medical and health information.Considering the performance of Multiple Physical Activity(MPA)sensors[2,3],a cost-effective wearable system can be devised to capture various medical and health data limitations of the PHB.These parameters include Blood Pressure(BP),Heart Rate(HR),Pulse Rate(PR),Oxygen Levels(OL),and Body Temperature(BT).Additionally,the system collects contextual data such as atmospheric conditions,user location,and activities to generate predictions for personal health information.The sensor nodes acquire medical and health data and transmit it to connected smart devices like smartphones and wearables.However,smartphones,despite being used for data processing and medical condition predictions,have limited computational resources.Due to the limited computational resources of smart devices,executing computationally complex applications poses challenges.Consequently,current mobile health applications rely on server-side storage and analysis [4,5].However,there is an opportunity to analyze data at different levels and store it in cloud-based servers by using mobile edge-cloud setup and architectures.Thereby minimizing energy and power consumption.In the event of detecting an abnormal health condition,users can access their health data and receive alerts through the mobile application feature.This paper introduces a hierarchical structure based on the IoHT framework,aiming to enhance personalized medical healthcare efficiently.

While cloud servers offer ample storage and computational power,accessing distant cloud servers can introduce significant latency.Moreover,frequent interruptions in the connection may occur when users are on the move,impacting the transmission and analysis of medical data on the cloud server.Hence,beyond health condition prediction,it is crucial to perform mobile data analysis directly on users’devices to predict their current location and deliver relevant results accordingly.A suitable model for capturing the motion patterns and trajectory of users is necessary to predict their position sequence[6].The analysis of users’mobile health data trajectory is conducted within the cloud server,with a specific focus on determining their current location based on the analysis results.Initially,health data analysis takes place on mobile edge devices,continuously monitoring the user’s health status over time.If an abnormal health condition is detected,the data is transmitted to the cloud server for further analysis and processing.Based on the identified healthcare issues and the user’s trajectory,the cloud server recommends nearby health centers to the user.In existing work,the combination of spatial data and health care systems [7] data provides information about health status and relevant information about nearby health centers after predicting patients’movement patterns and actions.In terms of data privacy protection,some works of literature have been put forward recently,such as[8-10],which use different methods to provide confidentiality measures for private data.

On the other hand,latency plays a pivotal role in influencing the Quality-of-Service (QoS)experienced by users in real-world healthcare monitoring systems[11].The aim is to create a healthcare monitoring system that enhances QoS for users,specifically in terms of reducing delays and minimizing energy consumption.Typically,the IoT framework is used for healthcare monitoring within indoor environments.However,users may experience medical issues,such as elevated blood pressure,even when they are away from home.In such scenarios,it becomes necessary to integrate and analyze mobile health data along with data from healthcare systems [12] to deliver timely healthcare services.This paper explores the integration of users’location trajectory data with their health details,termed“YI data”or“Your Information”data.The aim is to understand movement patterns and prevailing traffic conditions,and based on the individual’s health status,provide recommendations for proximate health centers best suited for their needs.The core contributions of this study are outlined below:

1.We introduce an IoHT framework that harnesses edge-cloud collaboration.This offers tailored healthcare recommendations and urgent care assistance by considering users’dynamic movements and continuous location trajectories,thereby amplifying the system’s efficacy.

2.We delve into the relationship between sensor outputs and the pinpointing of specific individuals of interest.This leads to the creation of a hierarchical detection flow mechanism,designed for real-time tracking within the IoHT context.

3.Efficient detection queries are executed on cloud platforms by identifying cache servers based on geographical distribution.To measure anticipated response delays and data freshness,we propose a utility framework.These metrics are pivotal in gauging the efficacy of the search function,especially when dealing with data that are sensitive to time lags.

4.The Cache-Assisted Real-Time Detection(CARD)framework is introduced to counteract the constraints posed by healthcare device storage and cache memory limitations.Collaboration dynamics between cloud servers and edge nodes are fine-tuned to maximize detection outcomes.Given the complexity of the problem,identified as NP-hard,we champion a greedy caching algorithm as the solution.

5.We execute comprehensive simulation tests to confirm the efficiency of our proposed caching algorithm.This algorithm not only elevates data freshness but also substantially boosts the Cache Hit Ratio(CHR),driving enhanced system performance.

The paper is structured into several sections.In Section 1,the field of IoHT is introduced.Section 2 provides a comprehensive review of related studies conducted in this domain.Section 3 outlines the proposed system model.In Section 4,the problem definition and formulation are analyzed,and the proposed solution is presented.Section 5 focuses on experimental analysis and estimations carried out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed system model,including the devised CARD scheme and gradient descent algorithm.Finally,Section 6 concludes the paper and discusses future research directions.It summarizes the contributions made by this study and identifies potential areas for further exploration.

2 Related Work

Intelligent medical monitoring is a vital area of research in electronic healthcare [13].The prevalence of mobile healthcare systems is increasing by leaps and bounds.Contemporary smart devices are equipped with diverse applications.These are capable of predicting user activities based on parameters like body mass index and pulse rate.Popular healthcare applications such as Apple Health Kit,Samsung Health,Microsoft Health,and Google Fit have gained widespread recognition.Furthermore,health sensor devices like Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors are commonly used to detect blood pressure and blood glucose levels.In mobile healthcare,the cloud server plays an important role in health data processing and analysis[14].The integration of IoT and cloud technology has enabled the provision of comprehensive healthcare services.As highlighted by Doukas and Maglogiannis.For instance,De et al.discussed the implementation of a cloud-based healthcare system and mobile application to verify the health data and medical type of infants in infant care units.It takes proactive measures in cases of abnormalities [15].However,transferring healthcare data to the cloud server and obtaining analysis results pose significant challenges due to communication delays,propagation delays,and the dynamic nature of mobile users.In the respect,of indoor health monitoring,small cell base stations have been employed to reduce power consumption.These stations make preliminary predictions about health and medical conditions by comparing collected data with normal ranges[16].However,context information,such as the user’s activity level and corresponding weather conditions,is also pivotal in health status detection.For instance,a health check performed after an hour of outdoor running will yield different results as compared to one performed during a relaxation period.Therefore,the user’s location trajectory and contextual factors play a vital role in predicting healthcare information.In order to optimize for delay and energy efficiency,Mobile Edge Computing(MEC)has emerged[17-20].Edge devices,including switches and routers,participate in data analysis and processing within the MEC framework.Tuli et al.proposed fog-bus as a platform-independent interface for IoT applications.It facilitates the execution and interaction of computational instances [21].The abundance of sensor technology and advancements in mobile positioning methods have led to the accumulation of extensive Global Positioning System (GPS)tracking data in daily life.This wealth of trajectory data provides opportunities for research in motion trajectory patterns and various location-aware services[22,23].Spatiotemporal information analysis,traffic prediction,context-aware trajectory graphs,and behavior derivation from movement patterns are among the areas explored by researchers[24-26].The application of trajectory data in healthcare monitoring is a relatively new field.It aims to detect meaningful patterns and provide location-aware services.Methods such as probabilistic models,data mining,and Discrete Fourier Transform(DFT)have been used to detect and predict events from trajectory data[27].

Overall,the evaluation of navigation data in the domain of health care and medical supervision represents a novel research domain.It seeks to divulge valuable patterns and insights to deliver various platform-aware healthcare facilities.Through the combination of closed-path analysis and health monitoring,attention has been paid to this field in the current work.Therefore,monitoring healthcare data requires real-time feedback.For example,to achieve the latest real-time status information of patients,the edge systems must monitor through real-time sensing health data.It uses detection to track dynamic state flow,and Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) [28-30].Therefore,collaborative caching schemes need to be properly studied in order to guarantee a real-time reaction.It can be challenging for several reasons.Firstly,for cache-assisted detection,the captured sensing data must be transmitted to the cache server moving forward and then monitored for the requesting patient search and support download.Therefore,in this process,detection and upstream and downstream transmission will significantly affect the delay function.It should be carefully discussed in the algorithm device.Secondly,in the case of edge cache space and dynamic wireless channel constraints,it does not matter when and where the newly yielded healthcare data are cached.The foremost reason behind this is that it is not always possible to ensure real-time data transmission,especially when communication channel conditions are weak.Thirdly,the expected detection time may vary depending on the cache location of each data module.In the effort,the sensor data caching solution aims to resolve these challenges and completely uncover the inherent latent of edge-cloud caching.Most of the work concentrates on minimizing latency for detail downloads.It generally assumes that users are served by one or more nodes (here is BSN).It is particularly noteworthy that only downlink transmission is involved in the above work.To detect important details;data requests are first detected at the local edge and then delivered to its neighbor cache server.Finally,these are transmitted to the detail’s contents over the IoHT.Detection works only if all content is successfully cached near the target user.However,given the diversity of content preference requirements,large amounts of detection,and data,intended users can be overridden or out of the perceived range by many edges.It results in lessthan-ideal cache hits and detection delays.

3 System Model

3.1 Problem Definition and Formulation

Our suggested IoHT framework structure is built upon a mobile edge-cloud cooperative system architecture.Within this framework,sensors in the BSN gather various health data such as PR,BP,and BT.Moreover,contextual information,including ambient conditions like room temperature,humidity,and pressure,as well as the exerciser’s present and earlier exercises (e.g.,walking,and sleeping),occupation,age,and health status,is also collected and transmitted to the mobile edge devices.In addition to health and contextual data,the user’s location information is also sent to the edge devices.In the designed healthcare system,the collected health data is processed by edge devices.These edge devices are connected to the cloud server,where the user’s mobile information track,including their location trajectory,is stored,and further processed.The framework structure of the IoT based on the edge-cloud network is illustrated in Fig.1.The IoHT framework comprises several key components.It includes the sensor nodes within the BSN responsible for gathering health condition data,the end user’s smart or mobile device functioning as edge devices for collecting contextual information and location trajectory,as well as the edge devices and cloud server for data processing and storage.

The workflow schema of the designed framework is shown in Fig.2,illustrating its operational role model that can be divided into the following stages:

1.Sensor nodes are responsible for collecting and organizing Patient-Generated Health Data(PGHD).If there are multiple health parameters,such as BP,HR,and BT,there will be corresponding sensor nodes for each parameter.These sensor nodes transmit their respective data to the user’s mobile device,which acts as an edge device.

2.MEC devices send the collected PGHD to the edge devices,along with additional circumstantial information such as environmental conditions(pressure,temperature,and humidity),user health status,recent activities,and user location information.In order to accommodate the processing limitations of edge devices,multiple edge devices are considered for handling different health parameters.Each edge device processes its assigned health parameter data.In cases where certain health parameters are closely related,their processing is performed within a single-edge device.If any collected health parameter data deviates from the normal range based on the corresponding contextual information and user location,the respective edge device sends the results,along with the associated context and user location,to the aggregation edge device,and subsequently to the cloud server.

3.The aggregation edge devices utilize the aggregated results to predict the user’s health status.If the predicted health status is abnormal,an alert message containing the predicted health condition is sent back to the user’s mobile device.Moreover,based on the user’s location information and movement patterns,the framework analyzes the user’s movement pattern to predict the next location to visit.The cloud server generates information about nearby health centers to guide the user in case of an emergency.

4.Cloud Server Services (CSSs) supply the collected PGHD for further analysis.Healthcare centers can access this data from the CSSs to provide timely and effective treatment to patients.Overall,the proposed framework ensures the collection,analysis,and storage of health data.It allows healthcare centers to utilize the data for prompt patient care,while also providing personalized alerts and guidance to users based on their health status and location information.

Specifically,edge devices are defined as the content of those expected cache units that are ready to upload data.In this context,the collected Sensory Data (SD) is communicated to the expected cache via edge node communication.Mis defined as the collection of all cache nodes,the storage capacity of each cache server is limited to a predetermined range,andM{i}is expressed asC{i}for each node.In the casei=0,the nodes here represent cloud servers.Nbase station nodes will cooperate with the cloud server because of the insufficient edge cache size,where the cache size allocated isC={C0,C1,...,CN}.The GPS is deployed along the BSN and connected to the backbone network,and then it communicates with the cloud through the backlink,which is called the edge device-to-cloud connection.In general,this paper assumes that GPS detects passing BSN positions by broadcasting information regularly and uses user-to-edge device communication to effectively serve them.When the queried data is not cached to the edge server in the case of collaborative caching,the current work will offer the ideal demand-promoting path to visit the patient data.Nevertheless,if the same query is repeatedly triggered at different locations,the additional route and request forwarding can add significantly to the time delay.One of the most intuitive solutions to this problem is to have the most pervasive presence in numerous edge caches,which is difficult to achieve because of the limited storage of edge caches and the constant investigation of the universality of sensing data over time.To decrease interaction energy consumption,in the collaborative cache model proposed in this paper,the cloud is responsible for forwarding data requests from diverse situations through cache indexing to ensure its impartiality.

3.2 Detection Process

In general,awareness data will be transferred to the adjacent edge server to reduce communication latency.It is essential for ensuring the latest data.Therefore,the detection setting is partitioned as illustrated in Fig.1,in which each section is allocated to a cache edge server.When all data terms are cached based on the spatial partition.It will be searched for detection retrieval directly from the specified edge server.However,it is difficult to realize the boundary cache storage space and extremely dynamic data requests.In order to overcome the above problems,hierarchical detection architecture is put forward to accelerate the process of big data retrieval.In the existing work involving mobile edge cloud cache,the demand is first forwarded to the edge service,When the local cache is not satisfied,it is forwarded to the adjacent edge server,and then the cloud traverses between all caches or accesses its content through the Internet.In this paper,the cloud maintains cache detection based on spatial segmentation rules.Therefore,if the requested data is not covered by the service cache,it is shifted to the cloud server for management.The hierarchical detection process is designed as follows:

The cloud-first forwards the request to the detection cache,that is,the edge server allocated to the sensing data according to the space partition.If the data is not cached as planned,the neighboring server of the detection cache will be detected.For healthcare data monitoring in IoHT networks,which regard the two near nodes ofMias their neighbors,represented as={Mi-1,Mi+1}.In particular,in the situation described in this paper,there are={M2},and={MN-1}.After that,the request is broadcast to all others once and delivered back to the cloud server to search and detect its outcomes.

3.3 Utility Performance Analysis

In order to promote efficient caching of detection information,the expected detection gain of cache responses with distinct cache positions will be assessed first.For this,the sensor set is partitioned into different parts as illustrated in Fig.1.If the user is on the move,it uses the equipped sensor device to generate data items.If the number of data terms in the sensor deviceMiindex isAi,the total number of perception data isNb=∑Ai·bijrepresents the sensor data gathered at areajmarked byMi.When it is delivered to the cache spacek,bijwill be defined asThe group of all sensing data is represented as data unionB,which will be divided intoNdisjoint sets,namelyB1,B2,...,BN,whereBiindicates the sensor data set collected aroundMiand will haveBi=According to the designed detection structure,the edge cloud cache system contains four levels of caches,which are index detection edge,index detection edge neighbors,other edges,and cloud server.Real-time enabled healthcare data detection,the paper defines the below assessment method for cache strategy.

Definition 1:Search Detection Utility(SDU)is the expected utility value for the gain of the realtime detection service as sensing data is cached.In a particular position,reacting to the freshness of data in a short period is vital.Data freshness and detection region will be two key factors in measuring SDU.The former expression will be quantified via its loss function as shown in the following formula:

Tindicates the entire delay from data production to requesting users’access to it,andI=D/vis the interval between data updates.Dindicates the distance between sensing vehicles of equal sensing sort,andvdenotes the moving speed.B-tree,as one of the most extensively used index detection forms in popular database systems,is a form of self-balanced data.It summarizes the binary search tree,retains an ordered data structure,and permits index sorting in logarithmic time.The detection time complexity based on B-tree detection will be estimated via the anticipated index detection region,namelyO(logZ),in whichZindicates the region range.Therefore,the search detection utility will be denoted by the following formula:

The constitution of data freshnessand index rangevaries withAccording to the hierarchical detection frame process,the detection range will be rated via the entire capacity of the cache detected by all searches,namely:

The sensor data is initiated for transmission if and only if(1)the user location is changing and(2)all previously collected data has been uploaded.Therefore,many data terms will be retained for some time,so the entire latency ofSis computed as follows:

They worked an hour, they worked two hours, they worked three hours, when one of the elder daughters took up the tongs17 to straighten the wick of the candle. She pretended to do this awkwardly (as her mother had bidden her) and put the candle out, as if by accident.

wheretijandtiτindicate the producing time ofbij,and biτ,respectively.Note that ifS ＞(j-1)sl,the sensor data is uploaded in proper time,meaning that it no longer needs to be saved.See Fig.1,assuming the first data uploaded in proper time isbia,there will betia=+tiτ,and the holding latency is defined as:

Definevsibe the transmission ratio between the cloud server andMi,therefore the data transmission latency will be denoted as follows:

4 Problem Definition and Analysis Solution

Since sensor data is continuously produced and will be continuously requested by users in distinct positions,collaborative caching is raised to reduce flow load and increase cache dimension.Specific CARD problems will be expressed in the following.

Definition 2:CARD,when there is a group of collaborative caches and a collection of perception data to be yielded lately,how to assign the cache for data terms to the real-time detection service to get the maximum utility?To detect sensor data in real time,caching decisions are made to maximize the overall utility of detection across the entire network.In particular,the diversity of sensor data must be researched to maximize the protection of detection.Hence,data duplicates are not involved in the above case.In order to assume that each data term can only be cached one time.Considering the restricted cache region and the limited data update number of times,the CRDS model is expressed in the following:

Formally,the practicality of a specific solution is checked in polynomial time by examining whether the given solution meets the constraints in Eq.(6).This indicates that the CRDS module is NP-hard.Based on the proof of the theorem(1)stated in reference number[21],it will be verified that the CRDS model is NP-hard by applying the decrease condition of the knapsack multiple choice patterns,which are recognized as NP-complete problems.These often have exponential computational complexity.As a major estimation index reference for actual systems,particularly for short-life sensor data,it is necessary to reduce computational complexity.

To settle the CRDS module regarding low computational complexity,this paper proposes to iteratively assign a cache for greedily sensing data.It then develops the Detection Utility Greed(DUG)scheme.The process of which is depicted in the following(Algorithm 1).All presumed sensor data and cache volume are pre-selected for the detection vehicle.The DUG pattern uses empty values for all candidate cache spaces.Ensuing,when it adds it to the existing response groupX,it selects the sensor term that supplies the most SDU gain.For simplicity and convenience,the target expression in Eq.(6)is represented asψ(X),and the size of the data cached inMkis denoted asSk(X).

Therefore,bxis considered the best choice,provided all cache constraints are met.It can be concluded that the complexity of DUG isO(NblogNb),whereO(logNs) is the time revenue required to rate every marginal function.Due to the cache position being a one-time response andNbbeing limited in certain monitoring scenarios,the complexity of the designed scheme is allowable.

5 Experimental Analysis and Estimation

(i) Local First Caching Scheme (LFCS):Sensor data is cached regionally based on the order in which it was generated.Only if there is a regional cache capacity shortage can the data arbitrarily choose an accessible cache unit from the candidate edge set.

(ii)Least Recently Used Multiple Copies(LRUMC):Multiple copies of each data item are cached.Similarly,they will be cached based on production time,and cached replicates can be chosen according to greedy algorithms.If the cache capacity is in short supply,the least recently used data in the previous cache will be removed to make room for novel cached data.In simple terms,the amount of diverse sensing replicates is defined as 4 in the simulation experiment.

(iii) Minimum Search for Multiple Copies of the Detection Utility (LSDUM):Multiple copies of each sensor data item will be cached,similar to the approach used in LSDUM.One distinction is in the ability to erase cached data with the lowest utility of detection when the capacity is low.

In the proposed Search Detection Utility Greed(SDUG)cache solution,the cloud server provides improved system trust but incurs additional formation and interconnection costs.Consequently,this paper continues to evaluate the functionality of the SDUG scheme utilizing two distinct approaches to validate the hierarchical cache construction:

(a)Edge-Cloud Caching Service(ECCS):The cloud server can offer a caching service for the sensor data to be uploaded,assuming that the cloud cache space is sufficient to cache all data terms.

(b) Edge Cache Service (ECS):The cache of aware data is supported merely by cooperating edge nodes.The cloud server is responsible for controlling and transmitting detection demands and operating the entire system.Specifically,Low Power Consumptions (LPCs) adopt Edge-Cloud Caching Service(ECCS)mode,while Least Recently Used with Mark(LRUM),and Least Size with Dynamic User-Based Marking(LSDUM)adopt Edge Cache Service(ECS)mode to prove the validity of the Detection Utility Greed(DUG)scheme in serving big data detection for CARD.This paper first compares the detection effectiveness at different sensor rates.As depicted in Fig.3,the theoretical detection revenue decreases as the in-sensor rate rises,primarily due to the shorter device-to-edge transmission connect time.Search Detection Utility(SDU)performance is proportional to the amount of cached data.In the experimental simulation,the mobile edge cloud cache architecture reaches the maximum SDU values.It implies that detection in real-time will be advantageous from the classified IoHT framework.To demonstrate the efficacy of collaborative cache in assisted real-time detection,an experimental simulation was conducted to randomly generate sensor data detection at each edge device to be served by the cloud,with a quarter of the detection consisting of our search for local sensor data.

As depicted in Fig.4,except for LPCS,the detection reaction latency of all schemes remained relatively constant as the transmit sensor rate varied.This is determined primarily by the ratio of the quantity of data uploaded in LPCS to the transmission rate.While others choose cache nodes according to SDU values.If the demanded data is not cached due to limitations on cache capacity,the detection service node will wait 2.5 s before requesting a response containing an empty list of data.Thus,the high average response latency in DUG (ECS),LRUM,and LSDUM is primarily due to mismatched search results.

Figure 3:Sensor data transmission speed

Figure 4:Sensor data transmission speed

To examine the application of real-time detection,the freshness of accumulated results is examined and further validated with various transmit rates in Fig.5.Because requests may not begin as soon as the data reaches the cache,the freshness analysis considers the upload latency.In the context of formula(1),data freshness is assessed using the freshness loss function,and the worst freshness value is set to 1.The results of experiments indicate that DUG(ECCS)provides the greatest freshness function of all methods.Maintenance latency decreases with increasing performance,resulting in more recent cache results for all algorithms besides LPCS.As more data cannot be retained locally for LPCS,the transmission delay becomes the primary contributor to the upload delay.So,as the sensor rate increases,the vitality of LPCS is enhanced.

In conjunction with revenue and latency analysis,the Cache Hit Ratio (CHR) serves as a significant metric for evaluating the efficiency performance of a cache system.Fig.6 presents the statistical representation of the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) for CHR values.In the optimal situation,all data is stored in the objective location,resulting in a CHR(Cache Hit Ratio)of 200,providing a reliable benchmark.It can be resolved that the more closely the statistical curve aligns with the lower right point of the horizontal axis,the more favorable its characteristics will be.Hence,it can be concluded that the suggested DUG approach exhibits the most favorable characteristic when compared to all other schemes.The key issue at hand pertains to the validity of the examined decision about the allocation of Real-Time Health Data Monitoring sensing data and detection service on the IoHT to explore Big Data.
