Abstract

The internet of things (IoT) is a ubiquitous technology that plays a major role in monitoring the health condition of patients and is the backbone in the development of the healthcare sectors. IoT provides a platform for the physically inconsistent patients to consult the doctor and can quickly respond to the patient’s needs, and the doctors can have interactions with the patients. There is a huge increase in applications on remote patient monitoring using IoT sensors. IoT has been adopted in hospitals, surgical centers, clinics, medical care centers, clinical research organizations, and research and diagnostic laboratories. Healthcare applications using IoT sensors include telemedicine, remote scanning, remote patient monitoring, sample management, inpatient monitoring, clinical operations, and workflow management. This chapter describes the overall framework of the IoT and the hindrances and challenges faced by implementing IoT in health monitoring. It also focuses on the various IoT medical devices that are used for health monitoring, technologies that are integrated with IoT, and applications of integrating IoT for health monitoring.
