Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) which refers to a system of interconnected wireless digital devices that have the ability to collect, transmit, and store data autonomously, without the need for human intervention. The Internet of Things (IoT) has affected many fields. In healthcare, it is highly useful in linking professionals, equipment, and sensors to deliver high-quality services anywhere, at any time, and even in remote areas. This is particularly helpful as accessing health facilities can become very difficult in some situations, as witnessed during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The advancement of IoT technology and its application in healthcare has created new solutions and opportunities in healthcare provision, such as the remote monitoring and treatment of patients. IoT in healthcare has reduced the cost of healthcare, improved patient safety, and enhanced healthcare operational efficiency and accessibility. This paper provides in-depth information on the impact of IoT in healthcare, the challenges affecting it, and the current trends in IoT in healthcare. Methods to mitigate security challenges facing healthcare IoT and future recommendations on current trends are discussed in this paper.
