Abstract

This chapter discusses recent IoT devices and wearables for various diseases in the human body and examines the benefits, algorithms used for data analysis, identified challenges, and countermeasures for each disease. In order to do this, we sourced scientific articles on the topics of innovation of wireless wearables and IoT healthcare devices published between 2016 and 2018 from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) database.

Graphical abstract of the research: The data gathered from 35 peer-reviewed articles from 2016 to 2018. The authors studied medical conditions, IoT sensors, devices, measured parameters, methods followed, data classifiers, benefits and issues of using the devices, and proposed solutions. The central nervous system was identified as the most frequently used body system for IoT devices. The majority of IoT devices measured body parameters. The most significant benefit of using IoT devices is efficiency. The biggest challenge in using IoT devices is security and privacy of sensitive data.

1.1 Introduction

The Internet of things (IoT) is an emerging technology in the modern information age. In the healthcare sector, a considerable number of wearables have been innovated using various types of sensors. Scientific researchers and innovators have been experimenting with wearable sensors to promote remote monitoring and early diagnosis of chronic diseases. The primary use of these sensors is to record useful parameters of the body such as temperature, heart rate (BPM), and breath acetone. Sensors are also used for storing obtained data in the cloud and local data repositories for future decision-making processes. An IoT-based healthcare system primari...
