Internet of Things in Healthcare

The health monitoring system plays a pivotal role in healthcare management. Internet of Things (IoT) technology is an emerging field that facilitates the connectivity of devices to the internet. Consequently, patient data can be transmitted to the cloud for accessibility via the internet, enabling doctors to remotely monitor patients and vice versa. This paper explores the services and applications of IoT in the context of health monitoring systems, while also addressing key challenges. Given the sensitive nature of patient health data, encryption techniques for data protection are also examined. Keywords—Challenges in IoT, Data protection, Encryption, IoT technology, IoMT.
