Abstract

Mobile devices, including off-the-shelf smartphones, are being used as data gateways for nearby sensors in end-to-end integration of monitoring solutions, mostly based in the Android OS. In this paper, we present LIMBus, a lightweight monitoring system supported in iOS mobile devices to perform the role of data collector and gateway. LIMBus uses Bluetooth Low Energy to connect to external sensors and MQTT for mobile to backend streaming. The proposed system has been implemented and is demonstrated for an eHealth monitoring scenario.
