Computer Science and Communication Engineering

Description

In the current era, there is a requirement of a system with connected devices, persons, time, places, and networks, which is completely incorporated in what is called as Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is developed toward making the objects smart and connectable using recent development in miniaturizing and communication technologies. IoT can change the way human being live their life by making it their more convenient and smart. IoT has wide application domains one of them is healthcare. Healthcare is one of the application domains in IoT that draws enormous interest from industry, the research community, and the public sector. The development of the IoT in Health will greatly facilitate the process of patient’s diagnosis and monitoring, with small IP-based wireless sensors implemented on the patient's body, his physiological parameters, such as blood pressure and heart rate, can be monitored remotely and continuously. Over these years a number of advanced applications based on IoT have been proposed for the convenience of patients, doctors, and caregivers in the healthcare sector. In this paper, a review of IoT usage in healthcare has been presented. This systematic literature review has been conducted to determine the main application area of IoT in healthcare, most important technologies in IoT, related monitoring devices, and applications. Forty-four relevant papers, published between 2010 and 2021, were reviewed and analyzed. The results of this research improve our knowledge about IoT technology in the health sector and also encourage innovative use cases of this new technology in the health field.
