Abstract
The industrialized countries are confronting substantial complications regarding the quality of service and increasing cost incurred in the healthcare imparting sectors. Such complications often get exacerbated with an increase in population that eventually translates into a swarm of chronic and viral diseases. Based upon the symptoms and severity of the ailments, this ultimately calls for tremendous demand for advancing the healthcare services with context-aware wireless sensors. This urgency for sustainable healthcare delivery transforms into a wide range of challenges in the technological domain that could assist in improving traditional well-being services with present societal circumstances. Our research surveys through various applications of a wide variety of medical sensors, especially to control the outbreak of communicable diseases. The usage of intelligent sensors in the healthcare sector is targeted to improve the accessibility of medical amenities, hence expediting medication facilities. The application of smart sensors equipped with context-awareness will revolutionize the healthcare domain and offer sustainable solutions to medical authorities towards designing effective ways to combat life-threatening diseases, irrespective of the geographic widespread.
