Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has been continuously bringing vast technological advancements in our daily lives, thereby serving to simplify our life and making it more comfortable through its innumerable applications. IoT offers numerous benefits in the field of healthcare by reducing the cost of services and by offering care to patients that require intensive care or remote assistance. This provides numerous opportunities to enhance the quality of healthcare and reduce the cost of healthcare services. Lack of medical services assets and rising clinical costs make IoT-based innovations necessarily be customized to address the difficulties in medical services. IoT provides unprecedented advancements in the field of healthcare. This paper examines the various roles of IoT that are revolutionizing the healthcare domain by imparting extensive benefits to mankind by providing practical and affordable medical assistance. This paper presents IoT in healthcare, literature review of work carried out in this area, various challenges faced, and future scope.
