Abstract

The Internet of Things is a huge opportunity in a healthcare industry. We can use it in an Internet of Things (IoT) solution. Although, many believe that the healthcare industry is moving towards this goal, this process can become very complex and lengthy because it involves complex system structures as well as highly sensitive personal health data. IoT-related research and policy recom-mendations focus on how to address patient pain points through the Healthcare Internet of Things (IoT); and their needs for Iot products and services; and how providers can leverage IoT solutions to improve operational efficiency and patient satisfaction. We will next discuss these projects in detail to understand the significant impact of the Internet of Things on the hospital business.
