Abstract
During the past decade, IoT and cloud technology integration has been widely adopted in the healthcare industry to provide better healthcare solutions to the elderly. Considering the problems of resource shortage and the restriction of physical movement of patients, the complementary nature of the IoT and cloud, such as accessibility, security, data processing, storage, and service sharing, offers benefits for various areas such as health monitoring and health data management, diseases diagnosis. In this chapter, two advanced technologies, i.e. IoT and cloud computing, are reviewed, and their applications, benefits and challenges are also discussed.
