Abstract
It is the dawn of new computing era—Internet of Things (IoT). It consists of seamless blending of sensors, which monitor the environment around us and actuators, that respond to the decisions taken by a strong framework of cloud computing. The lifestyle changes of people have been resulting in increase in their health problems. This demands a need for cyber-physical smart pervasive frameworks involving ubiquitous healthcare system. The health care is one of the number of application domains of Internet of Things. With Internet of Things, many medical applications can be developed such as monitoring health remotely, fitness programs, elderly care, and chronic diseases with an idea to reduce costs, increase quality of life, and enrich the user’s experience. Many countries and organizations have been developing policies and guidelines for deploying the Internet of Things technology in medical field. However, the Internet of Things is in its infancy state in the area of healthcare field. Thus, this paper focuses on discussing core technologies that are shaping Internet of Things-based healthcare. Further, the paper provides challenges that must be addressed so that the Internet of Things-based healthcare system becomes robust.
