Internet of Things (IoT) integration in healthcare has completely changed patient care and administration. The revolutionary effects of IoT technology on the healthcare industry are examined in this abstract. The Internet of Things (IoT) enables real-time monitoring of patient's vital signs through the seamless connectivity of medical equipment and sensors, guaranteeing prompt intervention and customized treatment programs. Healthcare providers may obtain vital information through remote patient monitoring, which improves diagnostic precision and maximizes resource use. Furthermore, IoT-powered innovative healthcare systems provide preventative care by continually gathering and evaluating patient data, which makes it possible to identify health problems early. Notwithstanding these developments, issues like data security and interoperability still need to be resolved if IoT in healthcare is to reach its full potential. The significant effects of IoT on healthcare delivery are highlighted in this abstract, highlighting the necessity of a comprehensive strategy to handle both possibilities and problems in this quickly changing environment.
