APPLICATIONS, CONCERNS AND CHALLENGES OF THE INTERNET OF THINGS IN HEALTHCARE
The Internet of Things (IoT) has a variety of potential applications in the field of medicine, some of which include assisting patients in retaining their independence, enhancing their health, and taking responsibility for their own medical treatment. The Internet of Things (IoT) purpose healthcare is also to increase patient-provider conversation and participation, as well as to offer patients a bigger role in the decisions that are made about their treatment. The Internet of Things (IoT) has far-reaching effects due to the intricate interweaving it has with traditional systems, gadgets, the cloud, mobile apps, internet applications, and management systems. The phrase "the Internet of Things" is used to refer to the connected devices that are capable of communicating with each other, either one-way or in both directions, and can carry out the instructions that are given to them. A great number of applications that are used in the real world largely depend on the Internet of Things. These applications include ones for "smart health," "smart cities," "smart homes," "smart transit," and "smart traffic control." This article addresses some of the new concerns about security, privacy, and identification that have arisen as a result of the exponential growth in the number of devices that are connected to a network via the Internet of Things (IoT).

Applying Internet of Things in Healthcare: A survey
2021
People nowadays are living in the era of advanced technology in their everyday live. In the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), the internet connectivity has been extended beyond standard devices, such as desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets, to any range of traditionally dumb or non-internet-enabled physical devices and everyday objects. In recent years, IoT has taken over most of the industrial area, especially automation and control [1,2]. At the same time, IoT is applicable to other crucial sectors and especially health, since it offers numerous opportunities to improve health services and also enables health professionals (doctors, nurses, etc.) to make decisions based on real data. The IoT provides many additional health applications with the specific aim of monitoring patient progress and providing doctors with information on decision making. IoT health concerns and future prospects are presented in this paper based on a thorough survey of previous literature. Inspection of the results reveals that some health-related services are not yet sufficiently developed and interestingly enough the literature is limited in these services and there is no knowledge about the implementation of IoT in the health sector. This paper attempts to investigate the scientific gap in the IoT healthcare sector and it also gives interesting directions for future researches regarding the implementation of health data.
