Abstract

By enabling cutting-edge technologies that improve patient care, expedite medical workflows, and encourage individualized treatment, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a significant force revolutionizing healthcare. A variety of IoT applications in healthcare are examined in this study, such as asset management, intelligent healthcare facilities, smart medical equipment, and remote patient monitoring. Important topics like data security and privacy dangers, interoperability problems, financial limitations, and ethical concerns are also covered. The study presents a fair assessment of how IoT may impact healthcare in the future by taking into account both its advantages and disadvantages. It also suggests ways to deal with present issues.
