USE OF IOT IN
HEALTHCARE
(Use of emerging technology in industry)

Internet of Things (Introduction)
 IoT is emerging technology which is used is different industry.
 The main functionality of IoT is dependent on the interconnectivity of
the devices.
 The functionality of the system can be enhanced through use of IoT.

Project Overview
 The Iot has improved the functionality of the healthcare industry.
 The invention of the new devices can be done through the use of IoT.
 There are certain advantages of using IoT in the health care system.
Some of these advantages are- interaction between health care
provider and the patients, improvement of the security.

Problem Overview
 In case if the patients are unable to go to the clinic the doctors can
check the patients through the interactive system driven by IoT.
 Based on the IoT the use of the Internet of Medical Service has been
implemented thata will enhance the overall functionality of the
system.

Enhancing the security
 The security can be enhanced as the data is encrypted in the process
of transformation in the IoT enabled system.
 The interaction of the data between the mobile device and the cloud
computing can be done directly.

Security issues and challenges
 The beaching of the data can be occurred from the IoT system in the
health care system.
 Handling of the system may not be done in a proper way as the use
of IoT is new technology.

Cont..
 The implementation may not be done in a proper way.
 In case, if the implementation of IoT in the health care sector is not
done properly, there is a chance that the outcome differs from the
desired result.

Consequences of security threats
 The data stored in the IoT driven system is confidential and private in
nature.
 He breaching of the data will be a threat for both the health care
provider and the patients.
 The reputation of the respective health care organization can be
decreased.

Proposed solution
 It has been seen that the use of IoT has improved the overall system
in health care industry.
 The comparative discussion before and the after situation of using IoT
has indicated the improvement.

Mitigation of the challenges
 The challenges can be mitigated through different steps.
 Different security measures can be implemented for the proper
development of the security protocol in the IoT driven system used in
the health care sector.
