Managing and Mining Sensor Data

Question: Discuss about the Managing and Mining Sensor Data. Answer: Introduction With the current high adoption rate of the use of technology worldwide, one of the most popular topics that have merged has been a discussion of the internet of things. According to Atzori, Morabito (2010), the internet of things is the interaction of any computing devices over a particular network. These devices may include computers, vehicles, home appliances or even human beings. Each device here is given a unique code known as an IP address which is different from any other devices and is used to identify the specific networking device (Aggarwal, 2013). The communication that is done in these devices is aimed at benefiting the human workforce through performing of both basic and complex tasks. The adoption and uptake of the use of the Internet of things has brought about major milestones in the world. Some of the things that it has led to is the enhancement of communication of people from different parts of the world. An example is through the use of teleconferencing which has e nhanced real time communication of different people (Shukla,2011). The use of the internet of things is directly felt in almost all the different industries worldwide. Some examples include in the health sector, Entertainment industry, in sports and even in the Education sector (Perera, 2014). The paper adopts a direct format where it will start by first identifying how the Internet of Things has been adopted in the health sector. This includes relevant examples current health facilities that have implemented the use of the internet in their daily activities. The paper then identifies the key challenges that are being experienced in general as the whole world comes to terms with the internet of things. This is then narrowed down to the challenges that are being experienced in the health sector with the use of the internet. After the mention of the challenges, the paper outlines and explains the relevant solutions that may be implemented so as to avoid these challenges. The paper then gives recommendations on how health care can effectively implement the use of the Internet of Things. With the current high adoption rate of use of technology in different sectors in the world, the internet of things has become an essential tool this is more so seen in the health care. However the successful use and implementation of the Internet of things in the health sector may be coming to an end. This is due to the different threats that the internet of things is exposed to that can lead to either unauthorized access to critical patient information or Distortion of patients data. This paper however tries to narrow down the applications of the internet of things to just the health sector where since its introduction, there has been quite a massive improvement. The paper tries to give an overview of the different uses of the internet of Things in health care this entails both patients and doctors records management, scheduling and patients assessments (Li, 2015). The paper later then assesses the main risk involved with the use of the Internet of Things in health care which include routing attacks, denial of services (DOS), privacy threats management, man in the middle attacks that occur during exchange of decryption keys and the cloning of smart things (Al-Fuqaha, 2015). The paper later gives an overview of the possible solutions that can be implemented so as to avoid catastrophe that might result in by the occurrence of any of the potential risks. This marks the end of the paper as the findings are expected to be useful. References Aggarwal, C.C. 2013. The internet of things: A survey from the data-centric perspective.
