The Internet of Things opens up countless possibilities for improving the lives of people across a variety of application domains, including in healthcare.
In remote patient monitoring solutions, gateways are the link between a variety of medical devices and a platform for enabling healthcare applications.
In order for the gateways to function effectively and properly, adequate support must be provided on the platform for all processes and events that occur in the gateway's life cycle.
The key contributions of this diploma thesis are the proposed IoT reference architecture, the definition of gateway's life cycle stages, and a description of the procedures required for end-to-end management of gateways in remote patient monitoring solutions.
