Abstract
In the last few years, several researchers have been focusing their research work on some specific applications of the Internet of Things, such as the Health Internet of Things (m-Health IoT). As in other IoT applications, integrating IoT devices and applications/platforms from different manufacturers/developers in Health-IoT can be challenging. Even though standards are available and used, there are many possible standards and different devices use different communication protocols and data formats. Also, the integration leads to the need to develop new ad hoc code that will fit only that particular integration. This paper presents a proposal for a platform that uses a modular architecture and enables the seamless integration of different components of an m-health IoT platform. Components can be dynamically added or removed from the platform, in run-time without impacting the already existing components and without the need of downtime of the platform to include the new components.
