Internet of Things: Domesticated Toolsets for Solving Major Challenges Faced by Individuals with Health Problems

Abstract

In this modern era of globalization, technology has increasingly infiltrated all aspects of human life. Health is no exception to this advance. Provision of health services has undergone evolution to reach the current status. However, many people, especially in developing countries, do not enjoy optimum health services due to several constraints. This is where technology continues to grow and be beneficial for all strata of society. From the direct provision of health services, technology can also help to prevent, optimize diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. One of the latest breakthroughs in health service provision is the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT). Utilization of IoT is expected to bring a radical change to the provision of health services. This is in line with the principle approach of preventive, predictive, and personalized that so far has not been applied optimally due to limitations and constraints of health resources.
