An Optimised Task Scheduling of Remote Sensing Data Processing for Smart Patient Health Monitoring

In healthcare, remote sensing technologies are popular for smart patient health monitoring. Real-time health assessment and early intervention are possible using remote sensing data from wearable sensors and imaging equipment. However, processing and analysing huge remote sensing data are complex. Task scheduling improves processing workflow for accurate and fast health monitoring. This research offered the optimised task scheduling of remote sensing data processing for smart patient health monitoring, to describe the processing activities such as data preparation, task scheduling algorithms, and decision-making involved in data analysis from remote sensing. We used datasets associated with Internet of Things (IoT) devices that patients wear as sensors on their wrists. We used min–max normalisation to standardise the data’s scale after preprocessing the data and choose the task scheduling algorithm methods to distribute work among resources effectively. We proposed the multi-objective dwarf mongoose optimised with Deep Q Network (MODMO-DQN), which aims to address the task scheduling issue for remote sensing data processing in the Internet of Things by monitoring vital sign data of faraway patients. Next, to optimise the e-health services, an optimisation module built on top of MODMO-DQN is developed. The experiment compares the variation in completion time in the remote sensing data process. The results showed that the proposed perform to compare the existing methods. This will make it possible to evaluate the suggested works in terms of throughput, latency, energy usage, and task scheduling efficiency. The performance analysis shows that the recommended method is successful and may be a feasible and efficient solution to track patient vital sign data in Internet of Things-based e-Health. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
