What is Internet of Things (IoT) ?
Internet of Things (IoT) is responsible for transforming how
many industries work in the modern-day scenario. From the finance to aerospace
sector, IoT is truly revolutionizing several important global sectors. It has
also modified the healthcare sector allowing it to reach new heights of safety
and seamless customer experience.
IoT aims at personalization of technology to make it more
accessible in the day to day usage. With increased interconnectivity and data
sharing facilities, IoT has helped several devices connect with each other for
faster data processing. The collaborative computing efforts of multiple devices
have helped the overall growth in the healthcare industry’s steady growth. As
per Forbes, the reports of MarketResearch.com have estimated a $117 Billion
whopping market for Healthcare IoT by the year 2020.
History of IoT in Health Care
In the past decade, internet-connected
devices have been introduced to patients in various forms. Whether data comes
from fetal monitors, electrocardiograms, temperature monitors or blood glucose
levels, tracking health information is vital for some patients, though
many of these measures required follow-up interaction with a healthcare
professional. Yet, the use of IoT devices has been instrumental in delivering
more valuable, real-time data to doctors and lessening the need for direct
patient-physician interaction.
Early applications of IoT in healthcare also included smart beds that detect when they are occupied and when a patient is attempting to get up. A smart bed can also adjust itself to ensure appropriate pressure and support are applied to the patient without the manual interaction of nurses. Another area where smart technology quickly became an asset in healthcare is when coupled with home medication dispensers. These dispensers automatically upload data to the cloud when medication isn't taken, or any other indicators for which the care team should be alerted.

Internet of
Things for Health Care
Internet of Things (IoT), or to be more specific, Internet of
Medical Things (IoMT), is revolutionizing the healthcare industry. Two things are
for sure first the main IoT use case in healthcare for now is (remote)
health monitoring, certainly from an IoT spending perspective and seconds the Internet of Things will soon be pretty
ubiquitous in healthcare and health-related activities and processes on various
levels.
Health Care
Device
There are many types of
healthcare device that can use in daily life.For example is by using Huawei
Health for Android people can aid their sports
activity.
Figure 1: Huawei Health for Android
Huawei Health is the official Huawei app to monitor your health and your
physical activity. The app lets you keep a detailed record of information
about your sleep habits, your weight history, your daily burned calories or
your heart rate. From the exercise tab you can record all your physical
activity. You can pick if you’re walking, running or riding your bike. Also,
you can choose specific exercise plans that let you add long-term objectives
that’ll give you that extra motivation you need.
The
sleep and heart rate tabs let you control your current health status. The first
one tells you how many hours of light and deep sleep you get each night and the
second one shows you if your heart rate is more or less stable during the
day.

Smartwatches
This smartwatches is very helpful as a good fitness
tracker.
Many smartwatches have fitness tracking as a core
feature. It will help people to keep
up with their fitness goals. So if people are ever thinking of taking a fitness tracker or a
pedometer, they can replace it with a good
smart watch.
What exactly can a smart watch do? It can count steps,
distance, calories, heart rate, pulse rate, sleep and also some even go beyond this to calculate other important
metrics you might need.

Smart Jewelry Health
Smart Jewelry Health is
a multipurpose device that are very useful in healthcare and it also can be use
as a accessory for example is Bella beat Leaf product. Bella beat Leaf products can be re-synched to a
new device at any time through the App. IPX grade 6 Water-resistant wood composite with stone-like
appeal & hypoallergenic stainless steel clip/ 1 year warranty. Tracks people steps, distance moved, calories burned, sleep patterns,
reproductive health, menstrual cycle and stress. Helps people to create the perfect mind-body balance. It
tracks people’s activity, sleep, reproductive health and using the collected
data and our unique algorithm calculates people’s resistance to stress.

Smart Scales
A smart scale does much more than
measure our
weight. Smart
scale can integrate with an activity tracker like FitBit and a health tracking app to help create a more
complete picture of your overall health. To get the most use and integration
from our smart scale, be sure to choose one that has Wi-Fi connectivity to sync data to other smart health devices without requiring the scale to be within range of those devices
(as would be needed with Bluetooth connectivity).
·
Track weight
for each individual of the family separately in customizable logs using a smartphone.
·
Sync to
other fitness smart devices such as
a Fitbit or fitness coach app on
smartphone.
·
Record other
biometric information such as body fat, water percentage, bone density, and
even our resting heart rate through mild electrical
impulses sent through our feet (also known as impedance analysis or impedance measurements).
·
Ability to
disable or turn off impedance measurement functions for pregnant women or
anyone with a pacemaker or other implanted medical device — these individuals
should avoid the electrical impulses used in gathering impedance biometric
information.
·
When synced
with information gathered by our Fitbit or other fitness devices, create a more
detailed picture of our health that can be shared with medical professionals
and fitness advisors.
·
For fitness
pros and serious athletes, some models can sync with fitness tracking and
coaching apps to also include data such as training intensity, lactic acid
threshold, and other advanced statistics and then provide specific fitness coaching
suggestions to meet your fitness goals.
·
Create
customized permissions to share weight loss data on social media or
specific apps, which is helpful for fitness groups or even some lighthearted
competition between friends and family members (you would have to specifically
set permissions to allow this feature to work as smart scales are designed to
protect your health information and require the user to enable sharing
features).
