ABSTRACT:

The last decade has witnessed extensive research in the field of healthcare services and their
technological upgradation. To be more specific, the Internet of +ings (IoT) has shown potential
application in connecting various medical devices, sensors, and healthcare professionals to provide
quality medical services in a remote location. +is has improved patient safety, reduced healthcare
costs, enhanced the accessibility of healthcare services, and increased operational efficiency in the
healthcare industry. +e current study gives an up-to-date summary of the potential healthcare
applications of IoT- (HIoT-) based technologies. Herein, the advancement of the application of the
HIoT has been reported from the perspective of enabling technologies, healthcare services, and
applications in solving various healthcare issues. Moreover, potential challenges and issues in the
HIoT system are also discussed. In sum, the current study provides a comprehensive source of
information regarding the different fields of application of HIoT intending to help future researchers,
who have the interest to work and make advancements in the field to gain insight into the topic

Abstract: Chronic diseases are becoming more widespread. Treatment and monitoring of these
diseases require going to hospitals frequently, which increases the burdens of hospitals and patients.
Presently, advancements in wearable sensors and communication protocol contribute to enriching
the healthcare system in a way that will reshape healthcare services shortly. Remote patient
monitoring (RPM) is the foremost of these advancements. RPM systems are based on the collection
of patient vital signs extracted using invasive and noninvasive techniques, then sending them in real-
time to physicians. These data may help physicians in taking the right decision at the right time. The
main objective of this paper is to outline research directions on remote patient monitoring, explain
the role of AI in building RPM systems, make an overview of the state of the art of RPM, its
advantages, its challenges, and its probable future directions. For studying the literature, five
databases have been chosen (i.e., science direct, IEEE-Explore, Springer, PubMed, and science.gov).
We followed the (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) PRISMA,
which is a standard methodology for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. A total of 56 articles are
reviewed based on the combination of a set of selected search terms including RPM, data mining,
clinical decision support system, electronic health record, cloud computing, internet of things, and
wireless body area network. The result of this study approved the effectiveness of RPM in improving
healthcare delivery, increase diagnosis speed, and reduce costs. To this end, we also present the
chronic disease monitoring system as a case study to provide enhanced solutions for RPMs.

Abstract: Online telemedicine systems are useful due to the possibility of timely and efficient
healthcare services. These systems are based on advanced wireless and wearable sensor
technologies. The rapid growth in technology has remarkably enhanced the scope of remote health
monitoring systems. In this paper, a real-time heart monitoring system is developed considering the
cost, ease of application, accuracy, and data security. The system is conceptualized to provide an
interface between the doctor and the patients for two-way communication. The main purpose of
this study is to facilitate the remote cardiac patients in getting latest healthcare services which might
not be possible otherwise due to low doctor-to-patient ratio. The developed monitoring system is
then evaluated for 40 individuals (aged between 18 and 66 years) using wearable sensors while
holding an Android device (i.e., smartphone under supervision of the experts). The performance
analysis shows that the proposed system is reliable and helpful due to high speed. The analyses
showed that the proposed system is convenient and reliable and ensures data security at low cost. In
addition, the developed system is equipped to generate warning messages to the doctor and patient
under critical circumstances.
