Abstract Proliferation of mIoT devices and mobile communication technology along with intelligence services prompt the emergence of edge -based smart healthcare system. This irmovation results in the reformation of the healthcare system from hospital oriented to patient oriented. Edge computing makes modern healthcare system more time critical and sensitive through reducing the time waste in data transmission compared to the stand-alone cloud -based system. And coupled with the intelligence services, it can help doctors to make smart decision during emergency cases. In this chapter, we first look back to the evolution process of modern healthcare systems and give a detailed introduction about the mloT. After that, a three -layer modern healthcare system enabled by edge computing was proposed in this paper, and it is a good approach to deploy and implement patient -oriented distributed healthcare system to improve precision medicine services. And then, we present some successful applications of daily health monitor system in the market. Finally, we highlight several open issues and challenges associated with the implementation of the edge -based healthcare system. In future, we can integrate this smart healthcare system into the application of smart city, and figure out how to cooperate with other parts in smart city, such as smart transportation and smart building to make our life more convenient. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2020.
