Role of IoT in Sustainable Healthcare Systems

Abstract

Globally, the healthcare sector has recognized the worth of information and communication technologies (ICTs) based on smart sensors and IoT within the delivery of healthcare. However, the recently developed in ICTs were restricted to managerial and monetary applications and played only a little role in direct look after patients. But, within the past years, there have been noteworthy changes regarding the implementation of ICT within the way medical care systems is delivered. The main approach of this chapter is to discuss the benefits, advantages, and application of different ICTs in the healthcare system. One of the ICTs tools is IoT, which is being integrated into too many healthcare applications and services at an adequate pace. Although the Internet on Things has many applications in the medical science area, several healthcare organizations across the world are still uncertain to fully deploying it in their operations as IoT is still in the scaling stage and is not completely uniform. The present headway and advancement in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT) are giving an extraordinary potential over the span of the imaginative time of human administrations. The vision of the therapeutic administrations is expansively preferred, as it impels the significance of life and quality of individuals, including a couple of prosperity rules. The perpetual augmentation of the multifaceted IoT contraptions in prosperity is exhaustively attempted by troubles, for instance, driving the IoT terminal center points used for prosperity watching, consistent data dealing with and splendid decision and even the board. Therefore, in this chapter, the detailed overview of the recent issues in the healthcare sector lineup with smart sensors and IoT technologies. Additionally, this chapter discusses some pros and cons of IoT technology in medical science, specific utilization, and advancement of healthcare systems with IoT and some application of IoT in the complete healthcare system.
