Abstract— In this paper we enhance the innovative architectural model for context-aware monitoring, BDCaM that uses
cloud computing platforms. Every generated context of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems is sent to the cloud. A number
of distributed servers in the cloud store and process those contexts to extract required information for decision-making using
this novel technique. We develop a 2-step learning methodology. In the first step, the system identifies the correlations
between context attributes and the threshold values of vital signs. Using Map Reduce Apriori algorithm, over a long term
context data of a particular patient, the system generates a set of association rules that are specific to that patient. In the
second step, the system uses supervised learning over a new large set of context data generated using the rules discovered in
the first step. In this way, the system becomes more robust to accurately predict any patient situation. We demonstrate the
performance and efficiency of BDCaM model in situation classification by implementing a case study. Our system refines
patient-specific rules from big data and simplifies the job of healthcare professionals by providing early detection of
anomalous situations with good accuracy. The big data producers of BDCaM model are a large number of AAL systems. The
low level setup of each system varies according to the requirements of the patient. The sensors, devices and software services
of each AAL system produce raw data that contain low level information of a patient’s hea lth status location, activities,
surrounding ambient conditions, device status, etc. This paper would promote a lot of research in the area of application of
IoT in Ambient Assisted Living.

I. INTRODUCTION
An ambient assisted living (AAL) [1] system consists of heterogeneous sensors and devices whichgenerate huge
amounts of patient-specific unstructured raw data every day. Due to diversity of sensors and devices, the captured data
also have wide variations. A data element can be from a few bytes of numerical value (e.g. HR = 72 bpm) to several
gigabytes of video stream [3][4]. We propose a knowledge discovery-based approach that allows the context-aware
system to adapt its behavior in runtime by analyzing large amounts of data generated in ambient assisted living (AAL)
systems and stored in cloud repositories. The outcomes of this learning method are then applied in context-aware
decision-making processes for the patient. To identify the true abnormal conditions of patients having variations in blood
pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR)[5]-[8]. Here we are using FP-Growth algorithm for mining process. The FP-Growth
Algorithm [9]-[16] is an efficient and scalable method for mining the complete set of frequent patterns by pattern
fragment growth, using an extended prefix-tree structure for storing compressed and crucial information about frequent
patterns named frequent-pattern tree (FP-tree). So, we are using FP-Growth algorithm in our concept BD-Cam for using
the medical data very efficiently.

Aware Monitoring Systems. Section 3 gives a broad overview of Discussion and Results. Section 4 concludes the paper
giving the future research direction.

The Context management system [2] collects the raw data and pre-process the data using the data collected from the
database and monitors the records in the database. The big data manages all the input data and collects, Pre-process and
