Book description

Internet of Things in Biomedical Engineering presents the most current research in Internet of Things (IoT) applications for clinical patient monitoring and treatment. The book takes a systems-level approach for both human-factors and the technical aspects of networking, databases and privacy. Sections delve into the latest advances and cutting-edge technologies, starting with an overview of the Internet of Things and biomedical engineering, as well as a focus on ‘daily life.’ Contributors from various experts then discuss ‘computer assisted anthropology,’ CLOUDFALL, and image guided surgery, as well as bio-informatics and data mining.

This comprehensive coverage of the industry and technology is a perfect resource for students and researchers interested in the topic.

  • Presents recent advances in IoT for biomedical engineering, covering biometrics, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, computer vision and various network applications
  • Discusses big data and data mining in healthcare and other IoT based biomedical data analysis
  • Includes discussions on a variety of IoT applications and medical information systems
  • Includes case studies and applications, as well as examples on how to automate data analysis with Perl R in IoT
