• EWS score data: The corresponding score of each sensed data depending on the
NEWS2 specification illustrated in Fig. 1.
• Configuration data: The definition of the gateway parameters by the medical staff.
For example, the frequency of saving the collected data.
3.2 Gateway Layer Components
We propose the use of a gateway as an edge layer to put the computing at the proximity
of data sources. In each hospital room, a smart gateway is used to collect the vital signs
of the patients. The main components of the proposed gateway illustrated in Fig. 2 are:
a) Local broker
The Broker server acts as an intermediary for messages sent between the publishers and
the subscribers for a specific topic. It routes the messages based on topic rather than the
IP address. When a message is sent by the publish client to the broker server, all the
subscribe clients interested on the related topic of the message will receive the
publication.
