Rethinking the design of wearable expert systems: The role of network infrastructures

The recent COVID-19 emergency has pointed out the importance of effective and efficient tools to support users in their day-by-day activities, ranging from health-related ones to studying, remote working and recreation. Indeed, wearables and modern network technologies, such as network slicing and SDWAN, play a key role in this scenario, but existing applications should be rethought to be really useful in critical situations like the current pandemic. In this paper, we reflect about this topic, trying to design an innovative architectural framework where Wearable Expert Systems, IoT and network infrastructures are integrated to obtain the best level of performance.
