Abstract

Background: The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing healthcare by introducing intelligent systems that improve patient monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment while addressing challenges like inefficiencies, high costs, and limited access to quality care. By leveraging IoT-enabled devices, healthcare can enhance accessibility, efficiency, and outcomes, especially in chronic disease management, pediatric care, and surgical procedures. Methods: This study employs a comprehensive review methodology, synthesizing peer-reviewed articles, industry reports, and case studies to assess IoT's impact in healthcare. The focus areas include the role of wearable sensors, remote patient monitoring systems, and automated medical equipment. Key challenges, such as data security, privacy concerns, and interoperability, are analyzed alongside proposed solutions for seamless integration. Results: IoT applications in healthcare demonstrate transformative potential. Devices such as insulin pumps, pacemakers, and smart baby monitors provide real-time data to enhance medical decision-making and patient care. IoT technologies improve chronic disease management, enable precise surgical assistance, and enhance pediatric care. However, issues like data breaches and compatibility between devices remain critical hurdles. Conclusion: The integration of IoT in healthcare marks a paradigm shift toward patient-centered, efficient, and accessible services. Addressing challenges related to security, privacy, and system compatibility through collaborative efforts among policymakers, healthcare providers, and technology developers will be crucial. IoT stands as a cornerstone for future innovations in healthcare, promising improved health outcomes and operational efficiencies.
