Abstract

Earlier, patients’ and doctors’ interactions were limited, and is impossible to monitor patients’ health continuously and make recommendations accordingly, but it is now possible after the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT in healthcare provides interoperability, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, data exchange that make service delivery effective. It helps patients remotely track their health by using smartwatches, fitness bands, etc. devices, and for doctors to keep track of their health. In this chapter, we first describe the issues by using IoT in different domains then explain its applications in the real world, after that a brief explanation is given for the scope of IoT in healthcare and hospitals. The contribution of several researchers on IoT and its application in the healthcare system and its services is discussed. This survey provides useful information to researchers to identify the main issues and challenges of IoT-based healthcare system and to understand the application of the IoT in a different field and also helps to understand the prior contribution of the IoT in the medical industry.
