Abstract

Nowadays, smart healthcare system is very much essential for human life as it is more simplified and trustworthy in comparison to the traditional healthcare system. Drone technology gives a boost to smart health as various cutting-edge technologies are used such as infrared kinds come with technologies, including infrared cameras, GPS, and lasers (consumer, commercial and military UAVs). Remote ground control systems operate these (GSC). It functions in conjunction with the vehicle’s sensors and a GPRS (GPS). Out of the many Benefits of Drones, telemedicine is a major aspect through which it can easily save lives. With the help of IoT analytics, the objective can be achieved suitably. In this chapter, a three-layered architecture is proposed in which the first layer consists of the wearable device which is responsible for the acquisition of body parameters. The sensor nodes are in charge of tracking bodily functions like temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, etc., and sending this information, together with the patients’ geolocations, to the cloud via a sink node.
