Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging area that is attracting a lot of attention in various fields. One of the traditional areas in India that requires a lot of development and attention is healthcare. The shortage of qualified healthcare workers in rural areas has led to poor availability of these services in the rural areas which actually is a huge part of the country. This paper reviews various advancements in the area of IoT worldwide and how the same can be applied to healthcare in general. It surveys a lot of work that can contribute to application of IoT developments to the field of healthcare.
