Description

The Internet of Things is a technology that promises to significantly change people's lives in today's world. In recent years, IoT has impacted every aspect of life, including healthcare, where it has become highly productive in improving the quality of medical services provided to patients. Using sensors, IoT is capable of continuously and in real-time monitoring the health status of patients. This is particularly helpful for patients with chronic illnesses as it can assist in preventing various complications. Below, we will discuss the theoretical context of IoT, explaining the concepts of IoE (Internet of Everything), IoT architecture, and the role of telemedicine. An analysis is then conducted on several IoT devices used for health monitoring. This includes the Helo Wristband for blood pressure monitoring, AliveCor for heart monitoring, Baby Check for infant health monitoring, and an analysis of the case study of the use of the Smart Sock. The results encompass demographic aspects, physiological norms, false-positive alarm cases, and clinical significance. Through this study, the aim is to provide a detailed overview of the impact of IoT on health monitoring, addressing challenges and advancements in this technology in the healthcare field.
