6. Conclusions
We have described that the current state of IoT in rela-
tion to commercial health and fitness sensors is well
matched to capturing data relevant to numerous public
health measures. We have described a novel IoT-based
public health information system architecture that allo ws
the completely new capabilities of both anonymous pub-
lic health data collection and anonymous public health
inter ventio n. W e have described its privacy and anonym-
ity mechanisms and provided a privacy evaluation.
