IoT and Smart Sensors for Remote Sensing Healthcare and Agriculture Applications

Abstract

In order to better serve patients and make better decisions, the healthcare industry is always adapting to incorporate new technology. In this in-depth analysis, we look at how geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) have revolutionised contemporary medicine. Improving healthcare planning, illness management, and environmental health evaluation are just a few of the many potential outcomes of integrating remote sensing and GIS, two technologies that can gather data from great distances and then analyze it spatially. We explore the many facets of SR and GIS in health care in this paper. To guarantee the inclusion and relevance of the literature examined, we explain the methodology utilised for data collection, the criteria for articles and studies to be selected, and the strategic search strategy that was followed. The essay starts out by providing a basic overview of healthcare remote sensing. We delve into its significance by going over the wide range of uses, which include tracking diseases, evaluating the state of the environment, and dealing with disasters. These uses case studies illustrate how remote sensing has changed healthcare and how public health dynamics might be better understood. This article delves into the ways in which healthcare accessibility can be analyzed spatially using GIS and remote sensing. In order to plan for health effectively and provide services fairly, it is crucial to understand the distribution and accessibility of health facilities across different geographic areas. This is because access to health services is a cornerstone of public health. The combination of geographic information systems (GIS) with remote sensing technology provides robust resources for assessing and bettering healthcare accessibility. Examining these technologies’ theoretical foundations, methodology, and practical uses in healthcare affordability analysis is the focus of this article.
