Applicability of IoT-Aware Models in Healthcare Systems:
Potential and Challenges
Authors: , , , , , , ,
Abstract: The innovative Internet of Things (IoT) concept has become a worldwide phenomenon. The growing use of IoT devices over the past few decades has changed the way we interact with the embedded devices around us. The exponential rise of IoT devices and the data flowing from these devices is creating an impact on various fields such as healthcare, transportation, smart cities, and more. This paper aims to describe the potential and discuss challenges for using IoT-Aware models in the healthcare domain, identifying threats that should be mitigated to guarantee the successful applicability of those models. The most recent research on each component of the model is then presented, along with an assessment of its advantages, disadvantages, and applicability to a wearable IoT healthcare system. Security, privacy, wearability, and low-power operation are only a few of the difficulties that the IoT in healthcare must overcome. IoT challenges in healthcare include wearability, security, and privacy issues. Recommendations are also offered for future research paths. This paper concludes that IoT might assist governments in enhancing societal health care and business connections.
