Transforming Healthcare by Integrating IoT for Enhanced Patient Care and Innovation

Abstract

The healthcare landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by technological innovation and evolving patient needs. As the global population ages, the sector faces unprecedented challenges in delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a key strategy to revolutionize healthcare and improve patient outcomes. AI enhances diagnostics, treatment, and management through machine learning algorithms that analyze data, predict outcomes, and enable early interventions. Robotics has improved surgical precision, rehabilitation, and elder care, elevating patients' quality of life. Meanwhile, IoT has facilitated remote patient monitoring, supported telehealth services, and integrated smart devices for continuous health management. This chapter examines these technologies' applications, potential, benefits, and challenges, aiming to contribute to the ongoing discourse on the future of healthcare.
