Healthcare and IoT: from functional constraints to practical implementations

The general constraints of information systems are particularly relevant to objects which, for the most part, have only limited capacities of their own (energy, memory, processor, communication). However, we must beware: objects themselves will evolve and gain in communication capacity and on-board intelligence. What's more, objects need to be small and affordable. In the final analysis, if all types of object can participate in the same service, their information can use more or less protected channels. A connected fork does not justify the same efforts as an implanted device, even if they both participate in the same final service.
