Dear Aryan Chaudhary,

In my opinion, the Internet of Things technology and other Industry 4.0 technologies are very helpful in the progress of medical techniques. New technologies make it possible to improve the diagnosis of diseases and conditions identification, allow for the development of precise surgery, and the construction of robots to help in the care of patients with Covid-19 disease. In addition, drones already provide medicines for sick people and the Internet of Things technology allows you to improve remote communication of various mobile devices connected to the Internet.

Best regards,

Happy New Year 2021

Dear Aryan Chaudhary,

IoT-based solutions have a promising perspective in healthcare and are used in particular to improve and simplify medical care for patients. A form of Internet of Things adapted for healthcare is called the Internet of Health (IoH). When using IoH, health-related patient data can be recorded with various devices and sensors, processed with special applications and then transmitted to doctors for monitoring or analysis.

A special implementation of IoT is suitable for the implementation of IoH, which has been expanded to include the idea of ​​SDN (Software Defined Networking). Such an extended form of IoT is called SD-IoT (Software Defined IoT).

In the SD-IoT, the IoT device proxies can be set up in such a way that they provide special services (health service, security service, fire service, ...). My figure shows the idea of such ​​IoT proxies. An IoT device proxy can be viewed as a virtual form of a physical device in the WSAN.

If one uses the idea shown here to implement IoH, one can speak of SD-IoH.

Based on my figure, the idea of SD-IoH can be realized as follows:

a) WSAN can be replaced by WBANs. The sensors in humans can be viewed as IoT devices.

b) Proxies can be set up for such IoT devices (e.g. at a Health Service). An IoT Health Device Proxy (IoT-HDP) can be viewed as a virtual IoT Health Device.

c) To organize an SD-IoT Health Service, the IoT-HDPs can be installed in different Health Service Centers (HSCs).

d) With the help of IoT HDPs, a kind of "monitoring of care needs" can take place in HSCs.

General information about SD-IoT and details about my figure can be found at:
