Abstract
With the changes caused by the constant evolution of the Internet of Things, the healthcare area could not be left behind. With the introduction of 5G technology and modern devices, a better, real-time remote healthcare monitoring is shaping up to become the next step toward the future of medical treatment, and this is only becoming more present in a world, where at any time things might change and a presential form of monitoring can be difficult to achieve, as was the case with COVID-19. In this chapter, we take a look at some of the work that has been done in this area, as well as some projects and technologies planned for the future, in the hope to better understand how this technology works and what can be expected from it. In this chapter, the most recent papers on this field are reviewed, offering the reader a summary, providing an accessible entry point for those interested in delving into it.
