Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) defines a network of virtual reality objects, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and applications on the internet. The 'object' may refer to a connected medical device, a biochip transponder (think livestock), a solar panel, a connected motor with sensors that notify the driver of a number of potential problems (fuel, tire pressure, necessary adjustments, and more), or any object, sensory, competent to collect and transfer data over the network. The use of IoT technology is extensive, as it is flexible in almost any technology that can provide relevant information on its performance, and even environmental conditions that need to be monitored and remotely controlled. Other uses include the integration of IoT technology in hospital beds, provided with smart beds, equipped with special sensors to detect vital signs, blood pressure, oximeter, and body temperature, among others. This chapter attempts to explore and understand as how IoT is used in the healthcare sector.
