Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing healthcare and driving the creation of smart e-health monitoring solutions. Since IoT devices create a lot of data, this evolution depends on providing stakeholders and patients with real-time updates. With new technologies emerging to securely manage health data, technology is essential to modern healthcare monitoring. There are two main types for health data: unstructured data is more diverse and includes things like emails and media content, while structured data follows certain guidelines. Meeting strict security criteria is crucial for utilizing data from these devices in real-time applications. Because the Internet of Things generates a significant amount of data that needs to be analyzed with specialized tools, it is imperative to store data in a secure environment. The creation of an intelligent e-health monitoring system is the main objective. This system gathers health data from several sensors, integrates the data, and filters pertinent information about the patient's current condition. The proposed system also describes an authorized architectural node within the IoT network and a secure platform for exchanging e-health data. For real-time applications, it is essential to ensure the security of data generated by Internet of Things devices. Because so much data needs to be processed, it is imperative that it be stored in a secure environment using specialized technologies. The major goal is to develop an intelligent e-health monitoring system that gathers health data from various sensors, integrates health status, filters pertinent patient data, and enables safe sharing within the Internet of Things.
