This book explores potentially disruptive and transformative healthcare-specific use cases made possible by the latest developments in Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Healthcare data can be subjected to a range of different investigations in order to extract highly useful and usable intelligence for the automation of traditionally manual tasks. In addition, next-generation healthcare applications can be enhanced by integrating the latest knowledge discovery and dissemination tools. These sophisticated, smart healthcare applications are possible thanks to a growing ecosystem of healthcare sensors and actuators, new ad hoc and application-specific sensor and actuator networks, and advances in data capture, processing, storage, and mining. Such applications also take advantage of state-of-the-art machine and deep learning algorithms, major strides in artificial and ambient intelligence, and rapid improvements in the stability and maturity of mobile, social, and edge computing models. 

Explores the best strategies for the practical implementation of IoT in the healthcare industry, with a focus on IoT systems security Highlights the potentially transformative impact of IoT on healthcare, promoting a transition from encounter-based patient management to a continuous patient-empowering process Examines a diverse range of healthcare products used to diagnose, monitor, and treat diseases or medical conditions affecting humans
