Abstract
The main purpose of this project was to examine whether the Internet of Thing (IoT) has any
impact on the healthcare industry. Based on the study of the research works as obtained from 12
different articles, it can be said that IoT can enhance the level of service excellence in the
healthcare setting. However, it was being found that some associated barriers have impacted the
growth of IoT across a wider healthcare setting. Until and unless these barriers are resolved IoT
will not emerge as the dominating treatment infrastructure.

3IOT IN HEALTH CARE
Introduction:
This project describes the growing importance of Internet of Thing (IoT) in the healthcare
setting. It does so by briefly discussing 12 different articles in the form of annotated
bibliography. “Internet of Things” as according to the chosen articles has broader applications in
the healthcare setting. IoT is being used in a variety of forms like IoMT, Cloud-IoT Paradigm
and all. However, it also faces barriers in the form of communication between interconnected
things, exchange of knowledge between them, battery lifecycle of the wearable and smartphone
devices, and energy management. Some of these articles have shown the urgency to reduce these
errors and facilitate a seamless IoT environment in all healthcare setting.
Background:
This study is being constructed to identify the applicability of IoT in the healthcare
setting and to also identify its limitations. Moreover, it was needed to identify how these barriers
could be overcome to help the healthcare setting apply the IoT more effectively than they do it
currently.
In-depth analysis of research issues and applications of technology:
1. “Islam, S. R., Kwak, D., Kabir, M. H., Hossain, M., & Kwak, K. S. (2015). The internet
of things for health care: a comprehensive survey. IEEE Access, 3, 678-708.”
The article discusses a set of technologies that are increasingly becoming a part of the
healthcare industry. It discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) and identifies ways the technology
can help to effectively attain the benefits of innovations such as Big Data, Wearables and
Ambient Intelligence. These technological developments will help to conduct a variety of
medical process at a faster rate. Moreover, the efficiency of the healthcare setting will also
