IoT-Enabled Smart Healthcare Systems: Improvements to Remote Patient Monitoring and Diagnostics

Abstract

Recently, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are wreaking havoc with the 
healthcare industry, and it’s not going back. This digital evolution is changing 
the way medical professionals treat, monitor, and take care of decisions. The 
work at the heart of this change centres on IoT enabled smart healthcare 
systems that greatly increase remote patient monitoring and diagnostic 
capabilities. With this in mind we’ll unravel how connected devices and 
data based approaches are shifting the face of patient care, enhancing 
clinical results, and enhancing efficiency in overall medical conditions. IoT 
is enabling new frontiers in personalized medicine and proactive health 
management — from wearable health trackers to complicated implantable 
sensors. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover the different dimensions of 
IoT in healthcare, how it’s used in remote patient monitoring, what it brings 
to patients and providers, and what the challenges are around implementing 
these very advanced technological tools. In addition, we will also take a look 
at some real world case studies and emerging trends of smart healthcare 
system.
