Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare has gained tremendous appreciation as it has already improved the lives of millions of people worldwide. With the use of sensing devices, collecting data from different environments, devices, and equipment is now possible and appropriate decisions can be taken. Collected data is transferred over the network or internet and is able to be stored on the cloud or physical servers for analysis and future references. IoT has revolutionized the healthcare such that patients can be treated and monitored at the comfort of their homes without visiting the hospital.
