A comprehensive review on usage of Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare system

Prediction of Chronic Disorders in early stage is very vital. IoT facilitated remote health monitoring system has enormous benefits over customary health monitoring system. It is imperative to accumulate correct raw data in an efficient way; but more significant is to explore and mine the raw data to abstract more valued information such as correlations amongst things and services to afford web of things or Internet of services. In this Paper we have addressed the use of IoT in Healthcare system, challenges of IoT in Healthcare System and review on various works carried out on this research area with which a proposed methodology is been discussed.

1. Introduction

Chronic disorders (examples: respiratory diseases cardiovascular diseases, mental health disorders, stroke diabetes, etc.,) are the foremost causes of death and infirmity in India. Most chronic diseases are equally prevalent in poor and rural inhabitants and often arise together. Though a wide variety of cost-effective primary and secondary prevention stratagems are available, their coverage is generally low, especially in poor and rural populations. Improved public health and primary health-care systems are indispensable for the implementation of cost-effective interventions. More than 5% kids in the Indian population suffer from the disorders called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Dyslexia [1]. Clinic research says that these disorders are very common and are categorized as “Medically Manageable” and “Treatment can help”.
