Abstract

Electronic health records (EHR) have been adopted in many countries as they tend to play a major role in the healthcare systems. This is due to the fact that the high quality of data could be achieved at a very low cost. EHR is a platform where the data are stored digitally and the users could access and exchange data in a secured manner. The main objective of this chapter is to summarize recent development in wearable sensors integrated with the internet of things (IoT) system and their application to monitor patients with chronic disease and older people in their homes and community. The records are transmitted digitally through wireless communication devices through gateways and stored in the cloud computing environment.
