Abstract

Internet of things is a significant advancement in the big data era, which supports many real-time engineering applications through enhanced services. Generally, the next Internet revolution will be the interconnection between everyday existing objects in order to create a smart grid and intelligent environment. The future application of technology in health care will lead to the creation of an entirely new level of personalized, digital health care, where everyone is responsible for monitoring their own health and the quality of their own life. Further research is aimed at improving the existing sensors through increasing their capabilities and enhancing their efficiency. In the coming period, IoT is expected to play the key roles in all the aspects of modern medical treatment and health management - prevention, diagnosis, disease monitoring, treatment monitoring. This paper emphasizes the growing needs for better functioning of healthcare systems in real-time as well as the future development of personalized medicine.
