Adopting the Internet of Things technologies in health care systems

Internet of Things based health care systems play a significant role in Information and Communication Technologies and has contribution in development of medical information systems. The developing of IoT-based health care systems must ensure and increase the safety of patients, the quality of life and other health care activities. The tracking, tracing and monitoring of patients and health care actors activities are challenging research directions. In this paper we propose a general architecture of a health care system for monitoring of patients at risk in smart Intensive Care Units. The system advices and alerts in real time the doctors/medical assistants about the changing of vital parameters or the movement of the patients and also about important changes in environmental parameters, in order to take preventive measures.
