    Abstract

    The emerging Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm offers great promise for creating a global Internetbased architecture connecting humans, autonomous mobile devices, sensor networks, medical devices, and cloud computing to provide context-Aware solutions to public health whenever and wherever healthcare services are demanded. Two of the main critical areas of significance in such Healthcare IoT (HIoT) are Inhouse healthcare management for elderly people and healthcare provision in remote areas where hospital facilities do not exist. From software engineering principles for constructing a trustworthy HIoT, it is essential that the "things" in the system are dependable and reusable and the design remains extendable. This in turn will maximize the quality of service and minimize the cost of service provisioning. Motivated by this vision, this paper investigates the notion of Healthcare Design Pattern(HDP) and explains how the HDPs can be the building blocks for cyber-enabled healthcare solutions in HIoT. Three specific examples of HDPs for In-house healthcare solutions are described.
