ABSTRACT

The Internet of Health Things (IoHT) comprises a set of interconnected objects with the ability to communicate and process data for improving patient's health. At the same time, the application of IoHT enables patients to be more active in caring for their health condition. IoHT applications making use of wearable devices could offer data as well as automated analytics, which helps medical practitioners to examine the problems involved and intervene quicker for predicting readmissions or negative sequelae. Wearable technology (WT) is one of the possible means of providing low-cost clinically sensible information for several patient estimations. The advantage of WT is that it is tiny in size, worn discreetly on any platform, has personalized data, as well as the feasible combination of communication systems, serving remote observation. Therefore, yet, WT remains poorly understood and technology innovation often exceeds pragmatic clinical demand/use. The main aim of this method is to offer a complete review of WT, define merits and demerits, and assume the illustrations in informatics, patient care, and advanced research.
