IoT and Smart Environment for aged care
Literature Review
As per the Darshan and Anandkumar, (2015), IoT is one of the best technologies used for the
aged people and this technology able to make the smart environment for the aged people. IoT
can collect data which helps to keep a track of the patient's location and to provide urgent
medical assistance as per their requirements. The care of the aged people gets improved by
using IoT technology and smart environments. The several IoT devices help to monitor the
medical compliances of the patients like heartbeat, blood pressure and more.
With the help of the IoT devices, medical staff can analyze the changes of the aged people which
they need in the proper course of medicine. This results of no delay in the proper treatment of the
seniors. IoT devices included several remote monitoring tools that send signals to the caregivers
and remind the people for the regular dose of the medicine (Gelogo, et al., 2015). The
smartwatches used to monitor the daily activities of the seniors so that proper treatment can be
provided to them for their proper care.

Challenges and Issues
IoT applications face several challenges and issues in aged care. As this is one of the most
essential activities that need IoT applications for proper care. But some of the challenges affect
the use of the application in aged care. The description of issues is discussed as below-
 IoT creates many obstacles in the healthcare
One of the most challenge in providing care to the seniors by IoT technology as it is used
to monitor the patient's situation in a proper manner (Gope and Hwang, 2015). But this
process creates many obstacles in healthcare and affect the proper security of the patients.
The main obstacle of IoT includes the integration of the multiple devices and protocols
and the data overloaded and accuracy problems. The cost issue is also one of the main
obstacles in the process of IoT.
 Health care generates a large amount of data
By using the IoT applications in the monitoring of old people, it generates a lot of amount
of data which cannot be handled by the IoT system and it creates a loss of the data that is
essential to monitor the system.
 Most of the initiatives in IoT becomes unsuccessful
Most of the initiatives that take part in the process of IoT become unsuccessful in
providing proper care to the patients (Pang, et al., 2016). The achievement of success is a
crucial factor used in applying the IoT technologies for proper care. The initiatives
become unsuccessful due to the improper integration of the execution plan, IoT strategy
fails to identify data as the capital for success and it fails to make agility a core capability.
The one most example is the lack of regulations impacted the connected healthcare and
this makes the IoT initiatives unsuccessful.

Possible solutions and Recommendations
Along with the challenges, there are several possible solutions used in maintaining IoT in the
aged care people. The main solutions to the challenges include:
 Maintain the contribution in this work
The IT people need to maintain the proper contribution in this work so that the obstacle
can be reduced and maintain proper care of the patients. The proper contribution manages
all the challenges occurred in this process. The main contributions in this work includes
the proper setting of goals and objectives, selecting of proper IoT tools, decides the
correct hardware, collect useful data and select a proper IoT platform. This maintains the
overall solutions used to solve the challenges in the IoT. For example, the contribution in
managing IoT platform is one of the main contributions in the work of IoT.
 Maintain security and privacy
The healthcare workers need to maintain the proper security in the managing of the
patient’s data so that security can be maintained and no mischief can be created by the
hackers. The privacy of data is essential for the overall process (Joyia, et al., 2017). The
old patients also need to maintain privacy in their care so security management is
necessary for the overall process of using IoT in the patients monitoring system. The
several algorithms used to maintain the security and privacy in the healthcare as they
manage all the IoT activities in the healthcare system. For example, anonymization
algorithm is used to provide safely features for the proper IoT system and this improves
the security in the overall process.
 Manage the data created in the healthcare system
The problem of a large amount of data can be solved by the proper management of data,
as the healthcare system generates big data that is difficult to manage (Zanjal and
Talmale, 2016). So, the IoT workers manage data by using several applications like cloud
server and many more. The one of the most famous examples that are used for the
managing of data in healthcare includes the big data analytics that cannot create hurdles
in the management of large amount of data.

The common network used in the health care system
The network is too important in providing care to aged people. As by using the networking
process, the proper monitoring among people can be managed and this care needs to be remained
proper only by using the network. The network also used by health care providers to meet the
proper quality standards in the care of the patients. The hospital network is a common network
used in properly monitoring the patients and this process increases the ability to test the senior
for analyzing their body routine and checkups (Jagadeeswari, et al., 2018). The BSN network is
used in the overall process of technology used in healthcare. The BSN is the body sensor
network which is most appropriate in the healthcare system. This network is a collection of low
power and lightweight wireless sensor nodes that needs to monitor the body functions.
The BSN network is too much beneficial in making several services easier in the healthcare
system. This network achieves success in providing proper facilities to the people as the health
management of the old people is difficult. The IoT plays an important part in managing the
network as this application is too much useful in monitoring the current situation of patients. The
several health care organizations use the concept of IoT to providing care to the aged people. As
this technology is responsible to manage the proper network of hospitals (Singh, 2018).

Advantages and Disadvantages
IoT has several advantages in the health care system. Some of the main advantages o IoT in the
healthcare system are discussed below-
 Access Information easily
 It is cost-effective
 It maintains privacy and security
 It reduced the complexity in the management
 It properly makes dependency.
 It makes communication proper.
 The tracking of patients become possible
 IoT enables the healthcare providers to connect with the patients proactively

IoT also has several disadvantages in the healthcare system. Some of the disadvantages are:
 Privacy can be undetermined in the process
 Unauthorized access to the decentralized information
 The several regulations related to global healthcare
 The over-reliance on technology is also one of the main disadvantages.
 The unproved accuracy of devices is also a major drawback of using IoT.
 The risk of failure is also included in the use of IoT in healthcare
 The integration of the services affects the overall healthcare system
 The accessibility of data is not in a proper manner
