Internet of Medical Things: A Revolution in Healthcare for Enhancing Cardiac Monitoring and Patient-Care Through Wearables

Wearables play an important role in parallel with IoT towards the era of healthcare and it has to be designed effectively providing workable solutions for all areas of other medical scopes. The fundamental objective of this technology kinship is to make smart healthcare services possible towards societal necessities. This paper conducts a systematic review on current medical applications with Wearable Internet of Things. The use of well-defined keywords for strict paper selection is a criterion in further comprehensive analysis with published scientific work. This paper synthesizes the current state of knowledge and Wearable Internet of Things applications to be used in early prognosis, diagnosis, treatments and patient monitoring more specifically in cardiovascular diseases. Of interest is the characteristics in terms of design and structure, as well as efficiency in reducing the current disparities in healthcare. Additionally, this paper presents potential lines of research and obstacles to be overcome before increasing implementation of Wearable Internet of Things devices in smart-healthcare.
