The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Remote patient monitoring enables the monitoring of patients’ vital signs outside the conventional clinical settings which may increase access to care and decrease healthcare delivery costs. This paper focuses on implementing internet of things in a remote patient medical monitoring system. This was achieved by writing two computer applications in java in which one simulates a mobile phone called the Intelligent Personal Digital Assistant (IPDA) which uses a data structure that includes age, smoking habits and alcohol intake to simulate readings for blood pressure, pulse rate and mean arterial pressure continuously every twenty five which it sends to the server. The second java application protects the patients’ medical records as they travel through the networks by employing a symmetric key encryption algorithm which encrypts the patients’ medical records as they are generated and can only be decrypted in the server only by authorized personnel. The result of this research work is the implementation of internet of things in a remote patient medical monitoring system where patients’ vital signs are generated and transferred to the server continuously without human intervention.

At present, hospitals in our country have basically established the HIS system, which manages registration, treatment, and charge, among many others, of patients. During treatment, patients need to use medical devices repeatedly to acquire all sorts of inspection data. Currently, the output data of the medical devices are often manually input into information system, which is easy to get wrong or easy to cause mismatches between inspection reports and patients. For some small hospitals of which information construction is still relatively weak, the information generated by the devices is still presented in the form of paper reports. When doctors or patients want to have access to the data at a given time again, they can only look at the paper files. Data integration between medical devices has long been a difficult problem for the medical information system, because the data from medical devices lack mandatory unified global standards and have outstanding heterogeneity of devices. In order to protect their own interests, manufacturers use special protocols, etc., thus causing medical devices to still be the "lonely island" of hospital information system. Besides, unfocused application of the data will lead to failure to achieve a reasonable distribution of medical resources. With the deepening of IT construction in hospitals, medical information systems will be bound to develop toward mobile applications, intelligent analysis, and interconnection and interworking, on the premise that there is an effective medical device integration (MDI) technology. To this end, this paper presents a MDI model based on the Internet of Things (IoT). Through abstract classification, this model is able to extract the common characteristics of the devices, resolve the heterogeneous differences between them, and employ a unified protocol to integrate data between devices. And by the IoT technology, it realizes interconnection network of devices and conducts associate matching between the data and the inspection with the terminal device in a timely manner.

A software framework is a reusable design that requires various software components to function almost out of the box. To specify a framework, the creator must specify the different components that form the framework and how to instantiate them. Also, the communication interfaces between these various components must be defined. In this article, the authors propose such a framework based on the internet of things (IoT) for developing applications for handling emergencies of some kind. This article demonstrates the usage of the framework by explaining various applications such as tracking the status of autistic students, analytics on medical records to detect and mitigate chronic heart diseases in the Indian demographic, prediction of Parkinson's disease, determining the type of disease that corresponds to the dermatology field, and health monitoring and management using internet of things (IoT) sensing.

The development of increasingly sophisticated medical science and technology has an impact on the development of science and technology in the field of medical-devices. One of the existing equipment and is often used in hospitals, one of which is an IV. Currently in the world of health, infusion is still controlled manually. Because it takes time if the nurse has to go back and forth throughout the patient room. Not only is it time consuming, but there will be risks if it is too late to treat a patient whose infusion has run out. Technology needs to be used to minimize risks in the medical world, one of which is the application of IoT technology. This study aims to make it easier for nurses to control infusion conditions in real time using the concept of IoT ( the Internet of Things). The method used is the Waterfall method. This research uses hardware consisting of Load Cell with the HX711 module as a weight sensor, NodeMCU V3 as a processor, and Thingspeak Web server as the interface with the user. The results of the measurement of the tool made have an error of 0.25 Gram, sending data to the Thingspeak.com Server requires a good connection for maximum results.

The healthcare industry is being transformed by the Internet of Things (IoT), as it provides wide connectivity among physicians, medical devices, clinical and nursing staff, and patients to simplify the task of real-time monitoring. As the network is vast and heterogeneous, opportunities and challenges are presented in gathering and sharing information. Focusing on patient information such as health status, medical devices used by such patients must be protected to ensure safety and privacy. Healthcare information is confidentially shared among experts for analyzing healthcare and to provide treatment on time for patients. Cryptographic and biometric systems are widely used, including deep-learning (DL) techniques to authenticate and detect anomalies, andprovide security for medical systems. As sensors in the network are energy-restricted devices, security and efficiency must be balanced, which is the most important concept to be considered while deploying a security system based on deep-learning approaches. Hence, in this work, an innovative framework, the deep Q-learning-based neural network with privacy preservation method (DQ-NNPP), was designed to protect data transmission from external threats with less encryption and decryption time. This method is used to process patient data, which reduces network traffic. This process also reduces the cost and error of communication. Comparatively, the proposed model outperformed some standard approaches, such as thesecure and anonymous biometric based user authentication scheme (SAB-UAS), MSCryptoNet, and privacy-preserving disease prediction (PPDP). Specifically, the proposed method achieved accuracy of 93.74%, sensitivity of 92%, specificity of 92.1%, communication overhead of 67.08%, 58.72 ms encryption time, and 62.72 ms decryption time.
