An Integrated IoT-Based Framework for Smart Healthcare: Bridging Patient Behavior Analysis and Technological Infrastructure

The Internet of Things (IoT) is ushering in a new era in health care, providing new methods for remote monitoring, real-time diagnosis, and smart healthcare services. This paper combines two fundamental studies to develop a holistic, user-centric IoT model. By discussing the interaction of wearable sensors, communication protocols and cloud infrastructure in the context of a smart healthcare environment, we show how the underlying IoT architecture of wearable sensors at system-level, as well as a set of algorithms based on behavioral analysis, results in smart healthcare through the collective overview of the remote patient monitoring system. We provide an extensive literature survey, architecture, component analysis, and healthcare case study evaluation. We propose a new synthesis of best practices, along with some new interpretation of existing methods, leading to an end-to- end healthcare IoT ecosystem that promises improved patient care and better health-care management, including its security.
