ABSTRACT
The internet of things (IoT), which combines computer engineering with electronics technology, relates to the physical networking of objects that have been embedded with sensing devices, hardware, software systems and allied techniques to connect and exchange information with other systems using the World Wide Web. The influence of the IoT in the health sector is rapidly increasing. It has a vital role to play in making the healthcare structure much more reliable, efficient and accurate. As populations increase, so too do health issues, demanding technological solutions. The IoT is restructuring economic and psychosocial aspects of the technically unconventional health sector with reliable systems.
Research organizations around the globe have been seeking ways to develop resilience against the coronavirus pandemic. In this research, we examine the influence of artificial intelligence and machine learning on (i) healthcare servicing-based apps and (ii) social applications. We review the latest IoT applications in the health sector and the latest technologies, and highlight research gaps in the IoT.
