Establishment of Telemedicine Architecture in IoT Based Smart Home Security System for Health Monitoring System

Telemedicine is a technology-enabled healthcare delivery system wherein medical professionals and their patients are geographically remote. It is one of the major use-cases of the Internet of Things (IoT) offering a wide array of innovative solutions improving the healthcare system by providing convenience and cost-effective services. Nowadays, Telemedicine leverages the vast potential of the Internet of Things to enable excellent connectivity and data exchange between the medical personnel and their patients. The core component of the telemedicine architecture in IoT is the network. This network comprises of various interconnected devices. It could include an array of sensors, switches, nodes, etc. for data acquisition. Additionally, these objects are often associated with multiple applications for easy access to health data and treatments. A telemedicine system collects and stores patient data collected from the wide array of sensors that act as data sources. The patient data is stored in a secure database, which is accessed by doctors or medical staffs to perform medical analysis or treatments. The medical personnel can also access the data remotely using personal computers or tablets. The security aspect of this technology is paramount as a breach in privacy can cause serious harm to a patient. Therefore, telemedicine systems are required to incorporate security measures, such as authentication and encryption protocols, to ensure patient privacy and safety. In summary, Telemedicine in IoT is a revolutionary technology that promises cost-effective and convenient healthcare solutions. Its ability to leverage the connectivity of the Internet of Things and its modern security measures makes it an ideal system for healthcare delivery.
