Abstract

With the recent technological advancements, The Internet of Things offers numerous and potentially revolutionary benefits to all aspects of today’s digital world. Personalised and connected healthcare is one of the most promising areas. IoT is multidiscipline research area, which envisages a number of technologies, such as sensing, networking, data management, artificial intelligence and so on. Sensors and smart devices are the fundamental elements for observing the participants and their surrounding environment. In terms of networking and communications, several techniques have been widely adopted, for example, NB-IoT, ZigBee, Wi-Fi, 4G/5G etc. In addition, Big Data, Cloud computing are often embedded for data storage and analysing. Here as, this paper surveys the emerging IoT technologies and typical applications in healthcare.
