Abstract: Today, smart grid, smart water networks, smart monitoring system, high security are infrastructure systems that can connect different parts of the world more than we ever thought through the Internet of things (IoT). A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of multiple sensor nodes for specific applications. WSNs feature easier deployment and better adaptability of devices. In recent time, gesture detection using RFID tags is one of the most important applications of wireless sensor network. The use of body sensors is one of the most developing and advancing technologies in IoT. In the healthcare system consisting of IoT, the patient is monitored using a collection of multiple, efficient and accurate low-power and lightweight wireless sensor nodes. To illustrate the advancement of IoT in enterprises, this study will review the trending research in the field of IoT.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed a health monitoring framework using wireless technology, in which the patient's health is followed and communicated to the physician throughout the entire day, and the data is stored in the cloud, and feedback mechanisms are done on the stored data, which may be analyzed distantly by a physician.
Abstract: In many hospitals, doctors attend to patients either once or twice per day. A situation may arise in which the patient's health worsens during the time if a doctor is unavailable to the patient, and the patient may die as a result. Most problems in today's world are caused by a lack of efficient therapy and appropriate monitoring within the required time period. To solve these issues with the current method, this research study proposes a health monitoring framework using wireless technology, in which the patient's health is followed and communicated to the physician throughout the entire day. The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emergent technology that uses wireless networking phenomenon to transmit data. The advantage of using IoT-based healthcare monitoring systems is that they can assess many physiological characteristics of the human body and is simpler, more accurate, and more precise than traditional methods. Sensors are utilized to measure the patient's bodily functions over a wireless network. The data from the sensors is gathered and communicated to the cloud through a Wi-Fi module linked to the microprocessor. The data is stored in the cloud, and feedback mechanisms are done on the stored data, which may be analyzed distantly by a physician. Virtual monitoring relieves doctors' workload and offers patients accurate health conditions. The proposed system results suggest that the physiological sensor is more effective in terms of availability and portability. The proposed system is easy to use, will save money, and will change how hospitals work in the future.

TL;DR: A smart hospital system (SHS), which relies on different, yet complementary, technologies, specifically RFID, WSN, and smart mobile, interoperating with each other through a Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP)/IPv6 over low-power wireless personal area network (6LoWPAN) network infrastructure.
Abstract: Over the last few years, the convincing forward steps in the development of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabling solutions are spurring the advent of novel and fascinating applications. Among others, mainly radio frequency identification (RFID), wireless sensor network (WSN), and smart mobile technologies are leading this evolutionary trend. In the wake of this tendency, this paper proposes a novel, IoT-aware, smart architecture for automatic monitoring and tracking of patients, personnel, and biomedical devices within hospitals and nursing institutes. Staying true to the IoT vision, we propose a smart hospital system (SHS), which relies on different, yet complementary, technologies, specifically RFID, WSN, and smart mobile, interoperating with each other through a Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP)/IPv6 over low-power wireless personal area network (6LoWPAN)/representational state transfer (REST) network infrastructure. The SHS is able to collect, in real time, both environmental conditions and patients’ physiological parameters via an ultra-low-power hybrid sensing network (HSN) composed of 6LoWPAN nodes integrating UHF RFID functionalities. Sensed data are delivered to a control center where an advanced monitoring application (MA) makes them easily accessible by both local and remote users via a REST web service. The simple proof of concept implemented to validate the proposed SHS has highlighted a number of key capabilities and aspects of novelty, which represent a significant step forward compared to the actual state of the art.

TL;DR: The availability of data at hitherto unimagined scales and temporal longitudes coupled with a new generation of intelligent processing algorithms can facilitate an evolution in the practice of medicine and help reduce the cost of health care while simultaneously improving outcomes.
Abstract: Among the panoply of applications enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT), smart and connected health care is a particularly important one. Networked sensors, either worn on the body or embedded in our living environments, make possible the gathering of rich information indicative of our physical and mental health. Captured on a continual basis, aggregated, and effectively mined, such information can bring about a positive transformative change in the health care landscape. In particular, the availability of data at hitherto unimagined scales and temporal longitudes coupled with a new generation of intelligent processing algorithms can: (a) facilitate an evolution in the practice of medicine, from the current post facto diagnose-and-treat reactive paradigm, to a proactive framework for prognosis of diseases at an incipient stage, coupled with prevention, cure, and overall management of health instead of disease, (b) enable personalization of treatment and management options targeted particularly to the specific circumstances and needs of the individual, and (c) help reduce the cost of health care while simultaneously improving outcomes. In this paper, we highlight the opportunities and challenges for IoT in realizing this vision of the future of health care.

TL;DR: This paper highlights the major security requirements in BSN-based modern healthcare system and proposes a secure IoT-based healthcare system using BSN, called B SN-Care, which can efficiently accomplish those requirements.
Abstract: Advances in information and communication technologies have led to the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT). In the modern health care environment, the usage of IoT technologies brings convenience of physicians and patients, since they are applied to various medical areas (such as real-time monitoring, patient information management, and healthcare management). The body sensor network (BSN) technology is one of the core technologies of IoT developments in healthcare system, where a patient can be monitored using a collection of tiny-powered and lightweight wireless sensor nodes. However, the development of this new technology in healthcare applications without considering security makes patient privacy vulnerable. In this paper, at first, we highlight the major security requirements in BSN-based modern healthcare system. Subsequently, we propose a secure IoT-based healthcare system using BSN, called BSN-Care, which can efficiently accomplish those requirements.

TL;DR: This paper presents the functional design and implementation of a complete WSN platform that can be used for a range of long-term environmental monitoring IoT applications and considers low-effort platform reuse for a wide array of related monitoring applications.
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) provides a virtual view, via the Internet Protocol, to a huge variety of real life objects, ranging from a car, to a teacup, to a building, to trees in a forest. Its appeal is the ubiquitous generalized access to the status and location of any “thing” we may be interested in. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are well suited for long-term environmental data acquisition for IoT representation. This paper presents the functional design and implementation of a complete WSN platform that can be used for a range of long-term environmental monitoring IoT applications. The application requirements for low cost, high number of sensors, fast deployment, long lifetime, low maintenance, and high quality of service are considered in the specification and design of the platform and of all its components. Low-effort platform reuse is also considered starting from the specifications and at all design levels for a wide array of related monitoring applications.

TL;DR: A survey on the state-of-the-art of RFID for application to body centric systems and for gathering information about the user's living environment is presented.
Abstract: The current evolution of the traditional medical model toward the participatory medicine can be boosted by the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm involving sensors (environmental, wearable, and implanted) spread inside domestic environments with the purpose to monitor the user’s health and activate remote assistance. RF identification (RFID) technology is now mature to provide part of the IoT physical layer for the personal healthcare in smart environments through low-cost, energy-autonomous, and disposable sensors. It is here presented a survey on the state-of-the-art of RFID for application to bodycentric systems and for gathering information (temperature, humidity, and other gases) about the user’s living environment. Many available options are described up to the application level with some examples of RFID systems able to collect and process multichannel data about the human behavior in compliance with the power exposure and sanitary regulations. Open challenges and possible new research trends are finally discussed.
