Healthcare Applications in IoT

Abstract

IoT is a blessing in the field of information and technology. It is developing and deploying day by day. It is working for our betterment in the section of home, environment, retail, security, factory, industry, agriculture, education, energy, healthcare and so on. In the healthcare section, it has applications, technologies, benefits and also challenges with the four-step architecture. As the world is aging with its uprising population, there is not enough opportunity for all to get healthcare. I think Health is the most expensive property one can own. So in the absence of sufficient and quality healthcare, IoT can manufacture the best utilization of its capacity to play a vital role in creating a better world for all of us. This paper represents the basic concept of IoT in the healthcare field.

Security and Privacy in IoT-Cloud-Based e-Health Systems—A Comprehensive Review

“…This may stem from the delayed development of a standard in a compliance program or system. The overlapping of functions among the needs of several areas reduces the need for information exchange [3,5,7,9,[20][21][22]26,28,35,41,48].…”

“…For instance, IoT in health framework systems are used in References [2,3,30,37] to demonstrate the possibility of IoT-based e-Health systems. Moreover, researchers [2][3][4][5][11][12][13][14]17,18,[26][27][28][32][33][34]37] have also touted the benefits of merging IoT-based and cloud computing systems in the health field. The functionality of IoT devices used in e-Health systems does not necessarily guarantee privacy or security.…”

“…Wearable Devices: a distinctive sub-category of IoT devices, such as smart wristbands, watches, shoes, shirts, caps, necklaces, headbands and eyeglasses with integrated sensors and microcontrollers. Most of these devices operate on the fixed IEEE 802.11 standard frequency [5,14]. Blockchain: a system in which a record of actions is maintained across several computers linked in a peer-to-peer network.…”

“…The patient's data is collected by the sensors, then transferred to the nodes using commonly accepted routing and switching protocols such as LoWPAN, multi-hub routing and so forth. [5,14,22,25].…”

“…However, a common standard protocol for data is yet to be conceived [42,43,48]. Furthermore, patients should be allowed to access their own data and be given the right to dispose of these data freely, while ensuring that their information is secured [5,9,11,14,33,39,47].…”
