Abstract

AbstractThe market for the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare is proliferating, with a wide range of applications ranging from real-time patient monitoring using wearables, real-time monitoring using innovative implants, sensors fitted into medication like capsules, remote monitoring using telemedicine to medication adherence by periodic alerts and notifications. The IoT has numerous healthcare applications, from remote tracking using in-home medical devices to smart sensors and medical device integration. It has the potential to keep patients safe and healthy and improve how physicians deliver care as well. Healthcare IoT can also boost patient engagement and satisfaction by allowing patients to interact with their doctors more. Some hospitals are using the Internet of healthcare to keep the newborns and the aged safe and healthy, while others are using the technology to keep track of inventory. IoT can help improve the quality of life for the differently-abled or the persons with a need for continuous medical supervision. IoT also has a role in the disposal of medical wastes safely and tracking expiry dates in inventory items, be it blood banks or plasma cells. With massive data getting generated, medical data analysts can get higher insights into new product development.KeywordsMedicalInternet of ThingsDisposal managementPatient monitoringNew formulations
