The document discusses how IoT can transform healthcare by enabling intelligent interactivity between patients and healthcare providers. IoT uses technologies like sensors, RFID tags, and cloud computing to connect devices and apps, allowing doctors to remotely diagnose, monitor, and track patient vital statistics and medical information. Examples mentioned include wearable devices that measure things like brainwaves, blood pressure, and glucose levels. IoT in healthcare aims to gather rich health data from patients to improve care and quality of life while minimizing human error through continuous remote monitoring and alert systems.
2. What is IoT
Intelligent interactivity between human and things to exchange
information & knowledge for new value creation.
viewed as all kinds of objects that communicate using the
Internet.

8. Iot in healthcare , devices can collect the information
and directly share it as well as data can be backup on the
cloud so that the record can be kept as well.
With the increasing use of sensor by medical device
remotely the continuously monitoring of a patient
becomes easy for a doctor.

18. Pros of E-healthcare
• Minimizing human error.
• Simplifying the treatment process
• Quality of life for caregiver as well patient.
• monitoring system helps doctor in treatments and
predict a symptom before starting diagnosis.
• Monitoring system can also alarm in medical
emergency situations like falling of old age patient ,
patient has abnormal behaviour as in the intensive
care unit (ICU).
