IoT for Continuous Physiological Parameters Monitoring in Healthcare: A Review

The use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the healthcare system has significantly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of patient care, marking a paradigm shift in modern healthcare practices. Continuous monitoring of physiological parameters through wearable devices has the potential to contribute to the early detection of various chronic and infectious diseases. In this survey, we dig into a variety of wearable devices, exploring the sensors they employ and the specific physiological parameters they monitor. Additionally, we demonstrate the wireless communication facilitated by these devices, connecting sensors and external servers or cloud platforms. Ultimately, we showcase the diverse array of applications for these wearable devices in the realms of disease diagnosis and prevention, achieved through the continuous monitoring of physiological data.
