摘要:
PurposeThe power of the Internet has impacted various industries, especially the healthcare industry. With the rapid population growth and advancement of various sensor technologies and smart devices, the demand for quality healthcare services has increased in the past few years. At the same time, Internet of Things (IoT) technology makes intelligent objects communicate with each other by connecting all the objects without human intervention. IoT facilitated services and technologies in healthcare to provide low-cost and efficient service delivery to patients and consumers. It reduces the patient's hospital stay time and efficient information exchange by providing cost-effective healthcare services. This systematic review analyzes different technologies, core applications, datasets, algorithms, challenges, and limitations of IoT in the healthcare *** search is performed to review IoT healthcare-enabling technologies, algorithms, applications, and IoT-centric architectures. Search has been conducted over popular databases like Springer, Elsevier, and IEEE Xplore. We have downloaded around 544 research papers, out of which we have selected only 116 based on our *** identified different challenges in healthcare IoT applications as security and privacy, scalability, high cost, energy efficiency, quality of service, network architecture, mobility, and interoperability. However, data security and privacy issues are significant challenges in the healthcare sector as they deal with patients' confidential information. Also, we proposed a novel architecture that covers most IoT healthcare requirements. IoT healthcare applications are also detailed. In addition, it reviews most of the healthcare datasets and the utilized *** on the reviewed articles in this paper, it is has been concluded that IoT devices are beneficial in the healthcare applications, regardless of their limitations in terms of energy, processing, and
