The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT), revolves around connecting a data network that extends beyond the standard computers and smart devices, into simpler everyday objects, such as lighting, air conditioning, medical equipment, and street signs, which allow them to be remotely monitored and controlled. Even though this concept of having a network of intelligent devices has been discussed for as early as the 1980s, it hasn’t seen much traction and implementation until recent years, thus, still making it an unfamiliar concept to many. With having a bunch of remotely controllable and accessible different everyday objects, this concept can be used in emergency situations, in order to reduce the impact of such occurrences, and hasten recovery. This study focuses to explore the different possible approaches in using IoT for hospital and healthcare management and specific examples of possible real-life scenario applications. By doing so, the paper was able to present possible parameters of measurement between different IoT healthcare networks to compare and determine the best possible implementation to use. © 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering.
