The Pivotal Role of Internet of Things and Ubiquitous Computing in Healthcare

Abstract

Quality healthcare is based on the speed as well as the accuracy and supporting many people with huge range of devices which are connected with Internet of Things (IoT), since providing healthcare to every person plays a major role in developing a country. In order to implement intelligent patient care, medical data must be converted into meaningful insights with the help of IoT and ubiquitous computing. Healthcare became technically advanced with IoT and ubiquitous computing by leveraging devices like connected sensors as well as wearable devices that patients can use to send and receive information for real-time monitoring by doctors. This chapter presents the importance of deploying the Internet of Things and ubiquitous computing for enhancing healthcare.
