IoT Definition
• “The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing
devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or
people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to
transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human
or human-to-computer interaction.”

4.
How IoT works?
• 1) Sensors/Devices
• 2) Connectivity
• 3) Data Processing
• 4)User Interface

5.
Example of an Internet of Things device
• Remote patient monitoring
• Glucose monitoring
• Heart-rate monitoring
• Hand hygiene monitoring
• Connected inhalers
• Robotic surgery
• Automated Remote Sensing Wheelchair for Covid Patients.

IoT in Health Care
There is lot of improvement in automation for betterment of
patient during pandemic or Emergency.
The healthcare services, such as medical rehabilitation, are
concerned, an IoT-based system makes it possible to provide ‘one
stop’ service to the residents conveniently even at remote
locations.
To integrate connected technology into mechanical devices to aid
remote patient monitoring

7.
CONCLUSIONS
IoT brings significant changes to improve the facilities and information
system during Pandemic or critical situation.
It improves the digitalization of medical processes and proper
management in hospitals.
IoT opens new applications in medicine when the device/instruments
are being connected to the Internet.
For patients, internet-connected devices are being introduced in
different forms, to monitor patient health more effectively.

8.
FUTURE SCOPE
In the future, IoT will monitor vital signs of the patient in a real-time
environment.
There will be a major enhancement in healthcare practice, using the latest
technologies.
IoT intelligent device would be performing autonomously.
There will be data storage with private and public cloud.
This disruptive innovation of the information system will facilitate
intelligent healthcare service in the Medical environment.
