Smart Technologies for Smart Healthcare Information System – a Review

The Internet of Things (IoT) has swept the commercial world with applications ranging from agriculture to healthcare to transportation and beyond. A hospital setting can be quite stressful, particularly for seniors and children. The traditional patient-doctor appointment has lost its usefulness as the world population grows. As a result, smart healthcare becomes a critical instrument to investigate. The impacts of smart health cuts across from monitoring babies' temperatures to monitoring vital signs in the elderly, smart healthcare is flexible and may be adopted at all levels. The complexity and expense of implementation vary depending on the precision required of specific devices, their functions, and the intricacy of the application for which they are utilized. Very large-scale integration (VLSI), embedded systems, big data, machine learning, cloud computing, and Artificial Intelligence are all vertical areas that smart healthcare falls under. This article discusses the importance, requirements, and applications of smart healthcare along with the current industry trends and products. It gives a deeper insight into the different platforms across which more research can be pursued in this dynamic domain.
