Internet of things (IoT) will be the main part in upcoming generation devices that would not simply sense and report, also will have the controlling capability. It may be a connected vehicle, connected devices, robot, a building automation system, a door lock or a thermostat, these connected machines or devices will provide greater impact on our daily lives. Control data and the operating instructions could be protected to ensure control and autonomy for our safety and security, this could be a critical task. Privacy and security are important consideration in designing the system. With the intense growth of devices or devices with facilities such as computing and communication are carried out using a profound technology known as machine to machine (M2M) communication, which is specially designed for cross‐platform integration. In many industries, smart homes, smart cities, smart agriculture, government, connected devices, security, healthcare, education, public safety, and supply chain management. Internet of things (IoT) and machine to machine communication have to be implemented in near future. Also, this paper gives an in depth view about the different M2M techniques with interconnected IoT for truly connected, smart, and sustainable world.
Many healthcare centres generally have a centralized unit-dose drug distribution system (CUDD). The in-patient’s drugs are warehoused in a centralized location such as hospital pharmacy. The required or prescribed drugs available in the pharmacy will be distributed to the patient by either the nurse or attendant. The attendant often collects the medicine from the pharmacy. This process is quite time-consuming and in this COVID‘19 pandemic should maintain social distancing by the attendant in the pharmacy. In a field where time is of great importance and can save lives and also, a human intervention which in turn need to maintain social distancing, we can use MeDrones that will dispense medicines to the designated patient(s) location which will avoid human intervention and social distancing to defeat COVID-19 pandemic which is the need of the hour. The drone will be designed to deliver payload (tablets/saline) within/across the hospital premises. Apart from delivering medicines to the respective patients, the drone will be equipped to decide the optimal path to reach patients and prioritize attending to critical patients based on the hospital’s central database. The drones can be customized to return the unused medicines from the patient’s location to the pharmacy. Lightweight secured drugs container kit with authentication enabled will be designed for carrying the medicines to distribute to the respective destination inside the healthcare centre. The drone regulations result from increasing demand in UAV that must be devised to permit adaptation extensively as a logistics solution, to escalate efficacy in the healthcare domain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
