2.1 Introduction
Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising solution toward integration of various technologies and communication solutions. It describes the arranged set of physical objects with improved sensing, detecting, communication, and networking features. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a leading innovation within IoT that refers to the set of spatially dispersed self‐sufficient sensors able to monitor and record the environmental factors. WSNs integrate a set of sensor nodes into one network where all the collected information is sent to a central node, i.e., a sink, via wireless communication. The sensor nodes in a WSN may vary from a few to hundreds or even to several thousands; each node is low cost, portable, and easy to deploy. The integration of WSNs with the IoT has huge potential outcomes in the field of healthcare [1]. The networks with intelligent sensing capabilities can help patients and their guardians by providing continuous monitoring, memory upgrade, access to patient medical history, control of health gadgets (HG), and emergency consultation [2, 3]. The IoT is heading toward a revolution, and it will rebuild the medical services area to support social advantages and entrance as well as ...
