Abstract

Increasing advancements in the medical equipment and wearable and implantable devices and technologies promise to revolutionize the healthcare sector. Today is the era of delivering personalized healthcare with the help of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), smartphone applications, artificial intelligence, and big data. The smart information and communication technologies do not only offer a chance for patients and medical experts for timely recognition of health state, but also provide an opportunity to develop customized solution that could fit best for each patient, rather than relying on generic treatment methods. Hence, it is expected that the use of Internet technologies for the domain of healthcare will improve the quality of health for people all over the world. In this chapter, we present a detailed overview of the emerging technologies of smartphone applications, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence being used for personalized care in the present times. Moreover, we also discuss the crucial challenges associated with personalized healthcare solutions along with the expected future trends that could further enhance the quality of personalized care in future.
