Now each subunit will be responsible for a specific category of the tuple. Therefore,
we will have three subunits: 1 - The biometrics unit 2 - The Environmental unit 3 - The
Activities unit (Fig. 2).
– The Biometrics Unit will be responsible for monitoring all the patient’s biomarkers
upcoming from the biometrics sensors, and it will read all the stored data in the
other two sub-states (the environmental state & the activities state), then depending
on the vital related rules in the rules engine, it will update The Biometrics State with
the safe ranges for all the vital biomarkers and the current measurements for them.
The same workflow will be applied in both the Environmental Unit and the
Activities Unit.
– The Central Adaptation Unit: it is considered the main core of our system; it will be
responsible for monitoring the global state, which will get rid of the burden of
dealing with the continuous streaming of the patient’s biometrics and the environmental data. By collecting all the contextual data in the global state, each category in its sub-state, we will have access to all the current biometrics and external
factors value with the safe range for each one of them as well the current physical
activity and the planned list of activities.
