Internet of Things, simply termed as ‘IoT’ is an advanced technology which the industries are starting to adapt into their operation. IoT is a set of technologies to let objects communicate and thus reach an higher level of automation in a variety of application fields. We can mention: real-time analytics, analysis of collected data, cloud data storage, trigger an action based on a value an user sets, remote notification etc. In this short journey we will make you understand this technology in healthcare. What is a smart assisted living? Population and health care trends for the elderly... Speaker: Olgert Elezi

1. The Internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances and other items embedded with
electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity which enables these objects to connect and exchange data. Each
thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system (firmware) but is able to inter-operate within the
existing Internet infrastructure.
These devices collect useful data with the help of various existing technologies and then autonomously flow the data
between other devices.
What is IoT?

2. The concept of a network of smart devices was discussed as early as 1982, with a modified Coke machine at Carnegie Mellon
University becoming the first Internet-connected appliance, able to report its inventory and whether newly loaded drinks
were cold
History of IoT?
How does Amazon Go work?
Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars:
computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our Just Walk Out Technology automatically detects when products are
taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in a virtual cart. When you’re done shopping, you can just
leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll send you a receipt and charge your Amazon account.

3. This new wave of connectivity is going beyond laptops and smartphones, it’s going towards connected cars, smart homes,
connected wearables, smart cities and connected healthcare.
Most common use of IoT
Example of IoT applications:
Smart Home Wearables Connected Cars Industrial Internet
Smart Cities IoT in agriculture Smart Retail Energy Engagement
IOT in Healthcare IoT in Poultry and Farming

4. The internet of things has numerous applications in healthcare, from remote monitoring to smart sensors and medical
device integration. It has the potential to not only keep patients safe and healthy, but to improve how physicians deliver
care as well. Healthcare IoT can also boost patient engagement and satisfaction by allowing patients to spend more time
interacting with their doctors.

Example of IoT applications in Healthcare:
Activity Trackers Connected Inhalers/medicine delivery Ingestible Sensors
Connected Contact Lenses Coagulation testing Arthritis Parkinson's

5. Assisted living facilities— are different concepts and faciliteies for taking care of the elder population. They include:
residential care, adult congregate care, boarding home, or domiciliary care—are suitable for individuals who need very
little daily care, in terms of medical needs.
Assisted living is often viewed as the best of both worlds. Residents have as much independence as they want with the
knowledge that personal care and support services are available if they need them.
Asssited Living Applications of IoT
Internet of Things (IoT) in assisted living is empowering seniors to maintain a more
connected and enriched lifestyle. While the full potential of IoT is yet to unfold,
technological innovations in this area are already enabling telehealth and remote
patient monitoring.
