Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) is a new generation of systems with integrated control, communication, and computation capabilities in the modern world. Just as the Internet changed the way people interacted with one another, cyber physical systems will change how people engage with the real environment. Currently, CPS research is in its infancy, and numerous research concerns and obstacles exist in areas such as electricity, health care, transportation and smart construction, agriculture, and others. The architecture of CPS and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for cloud computing for life support or healthcare and its application for monitoring and decision support systems are introduced in this article. The suggested CPS architecture is made up of three primary components: 1) communication, 2) computing, and 3) resource management for healthcare. Industry, agriculture, and hospitals are all being transformed by this type of integration, known as Cyber-physical Systems. CPS enables the systematic transformation of large amounts of data into information, revealing previously unseen patterns of degradation and inefficiency and resulting in an optimal decision-making system. This article focuses on current trends in hospital big data analytics and CPS development. Relevant concepts such as cloud computing, realtime scheduling, and security models are thoroughly examined and explained. Finally, a healthcare application section is offered, which is based on our long-running practical test bed. Many businesses and hospitals are confronting new opportunities and problems as Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) improve and advanced analytics are integrated into manufacturing, goods, and services. Finally, a case study using the CPS to construct intelligent machines is provided.
