Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to introduce; however, IoT is remodeling health care and also the role of Information Technology in health care (Lee et al. in 2015 EEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM). IEEE, pp. 1855–1859, 2015 [1]). The IoT applications are obscurity essential in remodeling lives of individuals than in health care. Internet of Things indicates to physical devices, like a measuring system, weight scale and patients very important watching devices (glucose, force per unit area, vital sign, and activity watching, etc.) connect with the web and transforms data from the physical to the digital world. In step with Gartner, there will be nearly twenty-six billion devices on the web of things by 2020. This data provides insight into the supplements and health actions to boost the health, while not the hindrance of the daily routine. During this chapter, we will explore in depth the importance of the Internet of Things devices in health care and also the role of Information Technology in managing the massive volume of high-security patient’s information of medical. Expected key exclude from this chapter is current challenges, trends, case study, and a project management expertise for a true world. This chapter proposes few IoT applications in rural health care and ways to boost primary health desires of the developing nations (Rizwan et al. in International Conference on IEEE Emerging Technological Trends (ICETT). pp. 1–7, 2016 [2].
