Abstract

Well-being, aging and health is a multidimensional concept covering well-being, aging and health aspects of individuals, communities and ecosystems in the appropriate contexts. Various technology-enabled solutions can contribute to well-being, aging and health goals, and one of key trending technologies enabling digital transformation in healthcare and medicine is Internet of Things. This paper proposes an approach to industrial Internet of Things-based ontology development for well-being, aging and health, in order to structure the knowledge concepts needed for data acquisition and the overall system to contribute to well-being, aging and health. Given its multidisciplinary nature and the need to make use of semantic structures for data processing and usage in Internet of Things-based applications, this scoping review elaborates on usage of ontologies for implementation of Internet of Things solutions, aiming at extending the ontology of choice, reusing parts of existing ontologies and adding new constructs for cross-domain reasoning. In order to enable more efficient use of resources at the application level, an abstract layer of semantic middleware should reason on acquired data and allow for application business logic to trigger actuators while preserving safety and security.
