Abstract
With the increasing of Internet of things in all aspects of life, there is a need of Internet of Things
in the Health Care centers. This proposal consists the details of Internet of Things illustrating the
importance in the IoT in the Health care centers. The aim of the research is to analyze the impact
of the Internet of Things in healthcare. The objectives and research questions have been
discussed in the study. This report also describes the research methodology which will be carried
out in the research paper. Data has been collected using secondary method of data collection
including online journals, articles and books. This research will use positivism philosophy with
deductive approach. Descriptive research design has been selected for the study of the internet of
things in healthcare. This report consists of research proposal followed by a reflective journal
and Ethics Application form. In Research Proposal, literature review is done analyzing 14
journal articles.

Title: Internet of Things in Health Care
Part A
Introduction
The Internet of Things (IoT) deals with things that interact with Internet which employs
the sensors, transceivers, as well as microcontrollers that empowers the communication as well
as built similar types of protocol stacks that helps in interacting with each other as well as
communicating with each other (Moosavi, Gia, Nigussie, Rahmani, Virtanen, Tenhunen &
Isoaho, 2016). This IoT also helps to communicate with other users making a constructive part of
Internet. In the present days, the internet impacts on different aspects in everyday life of the
users. With the availability of these things, there are different application which are developed on
IoT based. In these application the physical object is generally connected with the Internet which
employs sensor devices. One of the most important sector which mostly depends on the Internet
of Things is healthcare centers. The dependency is increasing gradually which helps to enhance
the accessing care, strengthens the care quality and also helps to reduce the cost of health care.
Background
Internet of Things mainly ensures personalization that are related to healthcare services.
The IoT helps to maintain the digital identity for all the patients involved in the system. The
issue that is encountered by the health care centers is the non-availability in the health care
systems. Many problems in the health care systems remains undetected in the traditional health
care systems (Kodali, Swamy & Lakshmi, 2015). To mitigate these issues, the systems that are
based on IoT are considered as persuasive, as well as powerful are very much helpful for
