ABSTRACT
The Internet of Things, or IoT, is a scalable and automated solution that has seen explosive growth in other industries such as automated manufacturing, wearable consumer electronics, and asset management. IoT consists of several functional components: data collection, transfer, analytics, and storage. Data is collected by sensors installed on mobile, end-user hardware like phones, robots, or health monitors. Then, the mobile data is sent to the central cloud server for analytics and decision-making, such as if a machine requires proactive maintenance to prevent unexpected breakdown or if a patient needs to come in for a check-up. The primary challenge is to integrate and streamline digital infrastructure at various stages of the public health response.
This paper highlights the latest developments in internet of things applications towards mapping of technologies in areas of diagnostics, testing, healthcare delivery solutions and equipment supplies and its potential challenges and opportunities in India.
