Abstract

In current scenario, there is a need of such a structure with related devices, individuals, time, spots, and frameworks, which is completely participated in what is called as Internet of things (IoT). This IoT combines the whole world with the PC-based system and around the end, it results in a greater efficiency, accuracy, and advantage for the customer. Security and assurance are the basic two factors for monitoring the health of any patient. A system is required for the blend of confirmation show with an essentialness capable access control instrument. IoT has emerged as one of the most trending domain in the present scenario. Health care is one of the leading research areas where people are moving to provide better solutions efficiently. This paper demonstrates a comprehensive and comparative study portraying the related work done by the current writers dependent on the wireless body zone systems (WBANs). Through this paper, different correlations between a several parameters and strategies of using various IoT devices related with healthcare frameworks are being furnished. Various research challenges of IoT healthcare domain have been also discussed. The comparative study presented here is based on various parameters like techniques used in healthcare frameworks, data collection techniques, etc.
