Exploratory Analysis of Internet of Things (IoT) in Healthcare: A Topic Modeling Approach
The rapid integration of the physical and cyber worlds through the Internet of Things, or IoTs, is transforming our lives in ways that we could not have imagined even five years ago. Although they are still in their infancy, IoTs have already made a significant impact, particularly in the healthcare domain. The purpose of this study is to unravel key themes latent in the sparse but growing academic literature on the application of IoTs in healthcare. Specifically, we performed topic modeling and identified five dominant clusters of research, namely, privacy and security, wireless network technologies, applications, data, and smart health and cloud. Our results show that research in healthcare IoT has mainly focused on the technical aspects with little attention to social concerns. In addition to categorizing and discussing the topics identified, the paper provides directions for future researc
Design of a Healthcare Monitoring and Communication System for Locked-In Patients Using Machine Learning, IOTs, and Brain-Computer Interface Technologies
Machine learning (ML) models have shown great promise in advancing brain-computer interface (BCI) signal processing and in enhancing the capabilities of Internet of Things (IoT) mobile devices. By combining these advancements into a comprehensive healthcare monitoring and communication system, we may significantly improve the quality of life for patients living with locked-in syndrome. To that effect, we present a three-tiered approach to systems design using known ML models: data collection, local integrated system deployed on IoT hardware, and administrative management. The first tier focuses on IoT sensors and non-invasive recording of brain signals, their calibration and data collection, and data processing. The second tier focuses on aggregating and directing the data, an alert system for caregivers, and a BCI for personalized communication. The last tier focuses on accountability and essential management tools. This research-in-progress demonstrates the feasibility of integrating current technologies to improve care for locked-in patients
THE ROLE OF INTERNET OF THINGS(IOT) IN SMART HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
Healthcare has evolved thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution. Health management has replaced treatment as the primary focus of healthcare. As a result, as healthcare develops toward patient-oriented and analytical applications, more data are being collected and pooled than ever before. In addition to discussing health data and patient-centred health management, this article also covers several facets of smart healthcare. One of the most important industries that the Internet of Things (IoT) has modernized is healthcare. The ability to collect data and evaluate this enormous data is made possible by the shrinking of sensors. IoT sensors can be used to connect medical equipment and resources in order to gather data and process it. This paper provides a overview of certain IoT's effects on the healthcare industry. Healthcare cannot be outside of this paradigm given the rise of IoT technologies. The purpose of this article is to provide guidelines for achieving worldwide connectivity between medical environments and the Internet of Things (IoT
Innovative IoT Solutions and Wearable Sensing Systems for Monitoring Human Biophysical Parameters: A Review
none3noDigital and information technologies are heavily pervading several aspects of human activities, improving our life quality. Health systems are undergoing a real technological revolution, radically changing how medical services are provided, thanks to the wide employment of the Internet of Things (IoT) platforms supporting advanced monitoring services and intelligent inferring systems.
This paper reports, at first, a comprehensive overview of innovative sensing systems for monitoring
biophysical and psychophysical parameters, all suitable for integration with wearable or portable
accessories. Wearable devices represent a headstone on which the IoT-based healthcare platforms
are based, providing capillary and real-time monitoring of patientâs conditions. Besides, a survey of
modern architectures and supported services by IoT platforms for health monitoring is presented,
providing useful insights for developing future healthcare systems. All considered architectures
employ wearable devices to gather patient parameters and share them with a cloud platform where
they are processed to provide real-time feedback. The reported discussion highlights the structural
differences between the discussed frameworks, from the point of view of network configuration, data
management strategy, feedback modality, etc.Article Number: 1660openRoberto De Fazio; Massimo De Vittorio; Paolo ViscontiDE FAZIO, Roberto; DE VITTORIO, Massimo; Visconti, Paol
Integrating Internet of Things and EHealth Solutions for Studentsâ Healthcare
Apple Incorporatedâs recent announcement of its
entry device â The Apple Watchâą to the wearableâs market can
arguably be said to put a final seal of authenticity on
wearables. The inevitable ubiquity of wearable devices for
eHealth monitoring is a fact soon to be reckoned with. Access
to the physiological information provided by the wearables
through the â6A Connectivity Conceptâ of IoT will find positive
applications in various fields, most especially in the eHealth
and mobile-Health domain.
The state of health of a student is key in determining the
studentâs overall academic performance. Health-related issues
usually affect the motivation and ability of students to learn.
Therefore it is necessary to provide better health services for
students in their various schools and institutions. This paper is
a study of the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and
eHealth solutions to effectively manage and monitor university
studentsâ health. One of IoTâs main technologies in healthcare
is Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology. In this
study, we show how RFID technology is used to implement an
eHealth solution known as Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
for managing studentsâ health information (which includes
studentsâ medical history, prescriptions, laboratory results,
Electrocardiography (ECG) results, blood pressure results,
and vital signs). This paper also studies wearable devices for
monitoring students that are at risk for high blood pressure,
which can be due to intense stress, overweight conditions, and
family history of high blood pressure

INTEGRATION OF INTERNET OF THINGS AND HEALTH RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS
The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a part of our lives and has provided many enhancements to day-to-day living. In this project, IoT in healthcare is reviewed. IoT-based healthcare is utilized in remote health monitoring, observing chronic diseases, individual fitness programs, helping the elderly, and many other healthcare fields. There are three main architectures of smart IoT healthcare: Three-Layer Architecture, Service-Oriented Based Architecture (SoA), and The Middleware-Based IoT Architecture. Depending on the required services, different IoT architecture are being used. In addition, IoT healthcare services, IoT healthcare service enablers, IoT healthcare applications, and IoT healthcare services focusing on Smartwatch are presented in this research. Along with IoT in smart healthcare, Health Recommender Systems integration with IoT is important. Main Recommender Systems including Content-based filtering, Collaborative-based filtering, Knowledge-based filtering, and Hybrid filtering with machine learning algorithms are described for the Health Recommender Systems. In this study, a framework is presented for the IoT-based Health Recommender Systems. Also, a case is investigated on how different algorithms can be used for Recommender Systems and their accuracy levels are presented. Such a framework can help with the health issues, for example, risk of going to see the doctor during pandemic, taking quick actions in any health emergencies, affordability of healthcare services, and enhancing the personal lifestyle using recommendations in non-critical conditions. The proposed framework can necessitate further development of IoT-based Health Recommender Systems so that people can mitigate their medical emergencies and live a healthy life
