IoHT-Based Connected Healthcare Systems for Improving Patient Monitoring and Medical Outcomes

Abstract

In this context, patient care and results obtained from medical procedures are undergoing a transition. This is mainly due to the impact of connected health technologies. The Internet of Healthcare Things (IoHT) is a segment of the Internet of Things (IoT) that focuses on various medical and health-related applications. This study is conducted with the aim of analyzing various aspects related to the evolution of IoT technologies and their impact on the healthcare domain. In this context, this research aims to understand how such technologies could prove to be beneficial in terms of patient care, effectiveness of medical procedures, and personalized medicine. Various technologies such as wearable devices, remote monitoring systems, and smart medical equipment are discussed in this context. In this regard, various aspects such as their use in healthcare settings and home environments are discussed. In this context, various aspects such as the use of such technologies, significant amounts of data generated by various IoT devices, data analytics, and cloud computing are discussed. With regards to patient care, cost reduction, and effectiveness in terms of healthcare delivery, this study highlights the benefits obtained from IoHT. To achieve this aim, a detailed analysis of real-world scenarios is conducted. According to the findings obtained from this analysis, IoT has the potential to bring about a paradigm shift in the healthcare domain. Various aspects such as data privacy and security, and interoperability of various healthcare systems and devices, are discussed in this context. These aspects are critical in terms of maintaining patient care and ensuring confidentiality. IoHT plays a critical role in bringing about a transition in the evolution of healthcare. According to this study, results obtained from this analysis emphasize the importance of IoHT in modern healthcare.
