Management
IOT:
Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in
healthcare, often referred to as IoT in
Healthcare (IoT- HC) or Healthcare IoT (HIoT),
offer numerous benefits and applications to
improve patient care, enhance efficiency, and
streamline healthcare processes.
IoT technology brings numerous
applications in healthcare, from
remote monitoring to smart sensors
to medical device integration. It
keeps the patients safe and healthy
as well as improves the physician
delivers care towards the patients.
Product Infrastructure:
IoT product infrastructure such as hardware/software
component read the sensors signals and display
them to a dedicated device.
Sensors:
IoT in healthcare has different sensors devices such
as pulse-oximeter, electrocardiogram, thermometer,
fluid level sensor, sphygmomanometer (blood
pressure) that read the current patient situation
(data).
Connectivity:
IoT system provides better connectivity (using
Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.) of devices or sensors from
Analytics:
Healthcare system analyzes the data from
sensors and correlates to get healthy
parameters of the patient and on the basis
of their analyze data they can upgrade the
patient health.
Application Platform:
IoT system access information to healthcare
professionals on their monitor device for all
patients with all details
The image illustrates an IoT-based
healthcare system where patient data
is collected, transmitted, processed, and
analyzed using cloud computing and
smart healthcare devices. It highlights
the connectivity between wearable health
monitoring devices, cloud storage, data
security, and healthcare professionals.
Key Components
Wearable Medical Devices & Sensors:
1.Example: Smartwatches, pulse
oximeters, and ECG monitors collect
real-time health data like heart rate, blood
pressure, oxygen levels, etc.
2.Real-time Example: A person wearing a
Fitbit or Apple Watch that monitors their
heart rate and detects irregularities.
Smartphones & IoT Connectivity:
•Example: A mobile application receives
patient data via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and uploads
it to the cloud for further processing.
•Real-time Example: The Samsung Health or
Google Fit app collects fitness and health data
from wearables and syncs it to cloud platforms.
Cloud Computing & Data Security:
•Example: The data is securely transmitted and
stored in cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud,
or Microsoft Azure.
•Real-time Example: A hospital cloud-based
system stores patient history, allowing doctors to
access patient reports from anywhere.
Healthcare Professional
(Doctor/Nurse):
•Example: The doctor accesses the
patient's medical history, real-time
vitals, and AI-driven reports for quick
decision-making.
•Real-time Example: A doctor uses a
telemedicine app like Practo or
Teladoc to check a patient’s ECG report
remotely and prescribe medication.
