Recent Advances on Fog Health - A Systematic Literature Review

Fog Computing is a part of edge computing that define as intermediate layer between "Things" and the Cloud. Fog Health is an implementation of fog Computing's concept in health care and its related area. The purpose of this study is to extract and analyze the concept and application of Fog Health. The goal of this study are to identify the trend or patterns in Fog Health publications, to identify the application domain of Fog Health and to identify the research gap and future direction of implementing Fog Computing in health care related areas. Search term with relevant keywords were used to identify primary study related to the topic. About 53 of primary study were identified and selected. 46% (the largest portion) of the selected paper were journal articles. 47% of the publications were published by IEEE and 25 of the publications were published in 2017. We have found that the most three major issues that mostly discussed in fog Computing literatureas are related to the implementation of real-time system with minimum delay, the issues related to the performance on complex data processing that not affecting the system performance and the security & privacy issues related to the Fog Health implementations in the medical related facilities.
