Enhancing Healthcare Through Remote Patient Monitoring Using Internet of Things

Abstract

The integration of the internet of things (IoT) in healthcare has revolutionized patient care, leading to the emergence of remote healthcare monitoring solutions. Leveraging connected devices and sensors, this system enables real-time tracking of vital health parameters, medication adherence, and overall wellness metrics outside traditional healthcare settings. The IoT infrastructure facilitates seamless communication between patients and healthcare providers, promoting timely interventions and personalized care plans. Security and privacy concerns are addressed through advanced encryption and authentication measures, ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive health data. Key considerations for the implementation of IoT-based remote healthcare monitoring, including device interoperability, data standardization, and user engagement, are discussed. The potential benefits of this technology include enhanced patient engagement, early detection of health issues, and reduced healthcare costs.
