IoT healthcare architecture

Abstract Health is a major concern for everyone in today’s world. The number of health problems faced by people today is increasing, and largely regardless of their age. Identification of health-related issues can assist in finding a cure as early as possible and can also lead to a better quality of life. The traditional healthcare system is comparatively more time-consuming. Hence, an Internet of Things (IoT)-based healthcare system is a possible solution, because it provides more flexibility and takes less time as compared to the older system. A healthcare system based on the IoT can incorporate a variety of IoT healthcare architectures. Generally, the architecture consists of several components that interact with each other to perform data collection and analysis tasks to present vital information to the end user, physician, or caretaker. To provide such an important service to the different users, effective and adequate healthcare architectures based on the IoT using multiple sensors are the requirements of modern healthcare. Therefore, this work mainly focuses on IoT healthcare architectures using sensor nodes.
