Medical diseases and particularly Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the most severe public health problems worldwide. Internet of Things IoT paradigm creates a new opportunity to redesign the traditional pattern of medical system. While many IoT healthcare systems are currently found in the literature, there is little published research on the effectiveness and adaptation of healthcare applications. We designed and validated an IoT healthcare ontology framework for COPD patients to reduce economic burden. Unlike conventional systems, this research presents a new vision of telemedicine and remote care solutions that will promote individual self-management and autonomy for COPD patients through an advanced decision-making technique and Internet of Things paradigm. This framework organizes and manages patients’ data and information, as well as helps doctors and medical experts in diagnosing disease and taking precluding procedure to avoid exacerbation as much as possible. In this talk, I will highlight the main components of this framework and show methods to adapt it based on the context of patients. We found that the accuracy of our system is 88% for monitoring vital signs, and environmental factors. Our findings proved that dynamic thresholds could enhance existing tele-monitoring systems and make a valuable contribution to identifying the health status of COPD patients.
