ABSTRACT
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a very important part of the 5G communication network. The use of the IoT in the healthcare sector has various benefits for people. In healthcare-IoT (H-IoT), the detection of diseases at an early stage, diagnosis, and cure before an emergency medical condition arises, is an important feature. The data from various sensors on a patient’s body, who is in a remote area, can be monitored and the patient can be advised accordingly from a specialist hospital in a city. A secure healthcare infrastructure is essential in the H-IoT. Numerous security solutions are provided by researchers by using cryptographical and blockchain based algorithms. The H-IoT has transformed from Healthcare 1.0 to Healthcare 5.0 with the communication technology transformation from 1G – 5G communication. For the heterogeneous network in the H-IoT, several standards and protocols are proposed by researchers and various standard organizations are discussed in this chapter. The developments in the H-IoT will lead to personalized wellbeing in future.
