11 Building a Smart Healthcare System Using Internet of Things and Machine Learning

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning (ML) are commonly used in the field of medical diagnostics and health care to monitor a patient’s condition. The IoT has been used to create systems that use the functionality of a wearable series of sensors to warn patients in the event of an abnormality. ML has assisted medical diagnosis by using models that are designed to detect anomalies within a patient’s condition. Health professionals and patients benefit from the use of IoT technology because they have access to the latest up-to-date medical device settings. Furthermore, medical applications are mostly interested in IoT to minimize costs, simplify processes, and improve patient satisfaction. The increasing amount of medical information provided by the IoT is used for improving results for the patient by ML approaches in health care. These methods offer both exciting applications and significant challenges. In this paper, the developments of several applications using IoT and ML in healthcare are discussed, along with the use of 5G technology and cloud computing to manage the smart healthcare system.
