Challenges and opportunities in IoT healthcare systems: a systematic review

Abstract: In this study, the latest research articles which are involved in the Internet of Things (IoT) based healthcare system are analyzed as the IoT is growing enormously in the healthcare systems such as health monitoring, fitness programs, etc. Numerous research has been carried out in the IoT based healthcare system to improve monitoring efficiency. The architecture used in the IoT especially the cloud integrated systems are investigated in this work. The factors such as accuracy and power consumption are the important concern in the IoT, hence the research works which are involved in improving the performance of the IoT based healthcare systems are discussed. Data management methods in the IoT based healthcare system with cloud facilities are also systematically analyzed in this study. The performance of the IoT based healthcare system along with its advantages and limitations are reviewed. Most research works are efficient in detecting several symptoms and can accurately predict the diseases. The IoT based healthcare system designed especially for elders is an efficient solution in monitoring their healthcare issues. Major limitations in the existing systems are high power consumption, availability of fewer resources and security issues due to the utilization of many devices.

An Overview of Patient’s Health Status Monitoring System Based on Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a newly emerging term for the new generation of the Internet which allows understanding between interconnected devices. IoT acts as an assistant in healthcare and plays an extremely important role in wide scopes of medicinal services observing applications. Through determining the pattern of parameters that are observed, the character of the disease can be expected. Health specialists and technicians have developed a great system with low-cost healthcare monitoring for people suffering from many diseases using common techniques such as wearable devices, wireless channels, and other remote devices. Network-related sensors, either worn on the body or in living environments, collect rich information to assess the physical and mental state of the patient. This work focuses on scanning the existing e-health (electronic healthcare) monitoring system using integrated systems. The main goal of the e-health monitoring system is to offer the patient a prescription automatically according to his or her condition. The doctor can check patient health continuously without physical interaction. The study aims to explore the uses of IoT applications in the medical sector, and its role in raising the level of medical care services in health institutions. Also, the study will address the applications of IoT in the medical field and the extent of its use to enrich traditional methods in various health fields and to determine the extent of the ability of IoT to improve the quality of health services provided. The study relies on a descriptive research approach through an analysis of the literature published in this field. The results of the study refer to the application of IoT in the health institutions, it will help to obtain accurate diagnoses for patients, which will reflect on the quality of service provided to the patient. It will also reduce periodic patient reviews to the hospital by relying on IoT applications for remote diagnosis. Also, an application in health institutions will contribute to providing data correct for the diseases that patients suffer from, and hence employing them in preparing scientific research to obtain more accurate results. This paper introduces the review of the Internet-based healthcare monitoring system (HCMS) and the general outlines on opportunities and challenges of the patient’s Internet-based patient health monitoring system.

Security and Privacy in IoT-Cloud-Based e-Health Systems—A Comprehensive Review

Abstract: When the Internet and other interconnected networks are used in a health system, it is referred to as “e-Health.” In this paper, we examined research studies from 2017–2020 to explore the utilization of intelligent techniques in health and its evolution over time, particularly the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and cloud computing. E-Health is defined as “the ability to seek, find, understand and appraise health information derived from electronic sources and acquired knowledge to properly solve or treat health problems. As a repository for health information as well as e-Health analysis, the Internet has the potential to protect consumers from harm and empower them to participate fully in informed health-related decision-making. Most importantly, high levels of e-Health integration mitigate the risk of encountering unreliable information on the Internet. Various research perspectives related to security and privacy within IoT-cloud-based e-Health systems are examined, with an emphasis on the opportunities, benefits and challenges of the implementation such systems. The combination of IoT-based e-Health systems integrated with intelligent systems such as cloud computing that provide smart objectives and applications is a promising future trend.
