IoT Enabled Technology in Secured Healthcare: Applications, Challenges and Future Directions

Abstract

In current years, Internet of Things has come a long way and is well emerged within many organizations and fields covering the sector of healthcare. The continuous execution of IoT within the field of healthcare will direct to a fast rise in productivity and examination of data. In reference to medical gadgets, developments in technology will enhance the results of patients with superior analytics. Thus, this chapter introduces Internet of Health Things with wearable healthcare systems in detail and shows the inter-association of interaction allowed medical gadgets and their combination to broader scale networks of healthcare to enhance the health of patients, and because of this sensitive behavior of systems related to health. Still, It meets various issues, specifically in regards of security, privacy and scalability. This work also presents an overview of approaches based on IoT for healthcare and healthcare aided living as well. Moreover, this chapter illustrates IoT networks for healthcare and the different characteristics of IoT confidentiality and safety including security needs. Also, how distinct technologies such as augmented reality, big data, cloud computing and many more can be implemented in the reference of healthcare are described and ultimately, some pathways for forthcoming work on healthcare based on IoT based on a collection of challenges and open issues are presented.
