STATISTICS
Currently  7.2 billion people, interconnected by 25 billion devices.
ESTIMATIONS
Estimates for 2020: the population will reach 7.6 billion, and the number of connected devices will
exceed 50 billion.
All of these data support the emergence of IoMT

(Internet of Medical Things), the foundation for a
new medicine - eHealth (digital health).
⁕ IoMT - devices and medical applications that connect to

health information systems through online computer
networks.

Big data IoT
(Smart Device Data monitored
Network) through the WSN
• In order to analyze the enormous amount of

data monitored by the WNS, cloud computing
technologies are adopted, computational
algorithms integrated into decision support
components are used.
• The goal is to transform these data through

the processes mentioned above to increase the
quality of life, having the necessary
information to act preventively. WSN Cloud

INTRODUCTION
 Over the past 25 years, emissions of air pollutants in Europe have fallen
significantly due to the implementation of environmental policies;
 The SOx emissions in Romania fell significantly by almost 75% in 2015 compared to 2005;
 According to the statistical data provided and verified by the

National Environmental Protection Agency, in 2016 the annual
limit value for PM10 was exceeded (38 times) at the level
of Bucharest city.

AIR POLLUTION LEGISLATION
Air quality standards for health protection given in the Law No. 104/2011 (includes subsequent
amendments according to Directives 2008/50/EC, 2004/107/EC and 2015/1480) provide only limit
values for main pollutants.
Quality Index (RO-AQI) are calculated based on concentration values of the pollutants (SO2,
NO2, O3, CO, and PM10) and provide only an evaluation of the air quality in qualitative terms (i.e.
“good”, “excellent”).

• The concept behind the ESTABLISH project contribute to
reducing the human health effects by converting ES TA B LI S H P R O J E C T
environmental data into actionable information for users. CORE COMPONENT
• The life quality improvement system which is developed under the ESTABLISH project aims to assist
in the rehabilitation of vulnerable groups of people.

The decision support system is the crucial component of the smart health system;
The technical architecture proposed within the ESTABLISH project is structured on several
levels, as follows:
• Data presentation level - users can view and interact with the platform's graphical interface
(GUI)
• Data acquisition level - refers to collecting large amounts of raw data from sensors and other
devices (such as Gateways) and storing these data for further analysis and processing.
• Logical level - the decision support component (Data Analysis Service) implements the
functionality of the system.
• Data persistence level – refers to data storage and organizing

CO 1 minute 8 hours 30 minutes 11 mg/m3

The proposed decision support is structured on two components:
(i) comparison with the limit values provided by the legislation, and
(ii) predicting real-time air pollution episodes (based on "trigger" values).

CONCLUSIONS
Through this paper, the current technological possibilities of advancing an innovative smart health
platform that can enrich people’s lives by providing valuable information concerning major
environmental issues such as air pollution are highlighted;
The article argues for the real need of solutions that can inform people in case of
critical conditions, and in long time  gain insight over required measures to
mitigate the air pollutants.
19
At the end of 2015, the number of
telemonitoring installations cut-in service
by BEIA for the National Administration
“Romanian Waters” amounts to 21.
