Abstract

Healthcare is a service whose forthcoming appears to be motivated by innovation and data sharing. We can effectively use Internet of Things (IoT)-based healthcare systems for patient monitoring and emergency response services by maintaining security and preserving the privacy of patient’s medical records. IoT devices in healthcare can gather patient’s body parameters and share information with doctors, nurses and patient’s relatives. Most of the time traditional method of manual recording of body parameters and reporting them to the doctors is used. This is obtained by nurses periodically for all patients. Their precious time is for taking care of patients not for recording body parameters all the time. IoT-enabled healthcare industry is the solution for the same. This article focuses on architectures and models for IoT-based Healthcare applications along with security, privacy issues and challenges by considering industry standards. Using IoT devices for health monitoring at a personal level is very easy and comfortable but using IoT at hospital level is challenging hence integration of E-health and IoT will also be discussed in this article.
