Please elaborate the technique features of the proposed Fledge platform in detail.
The Fledge platform offers a hybrid Fog-Cloud architecture combining modular microservices (North/South Services, Orchestrator) for flexible real-time health data management. It integrates various sensors (temperature, ECG) and protocols (MQTT, OPC-UA, Modbus), with edge preprocessing (RMS/FFT filters) reducing latency by 40%. Secured by two-factor authentication, end-to-end encryption, and multi-level access control, it ensures interoperability through plugins (LoRa, Kafka) and real-time alerts (Slack). Its interface visualizes vital parameters (blood pressure, temperature) and allows for scalable extensibility, while integrating lightweight AI models at the edge and advanced analytics in the cloud, offering a robust solution for urban connected health challenges.
