Leveraging Big Data and IoT for Advanced Public Health Management

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The public health system has been enhanced by the use of big data and the Internet of Things. While the Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the use of smart watches, health sensors, and other internet-connected devices to get real-time data, big data refers to the collecting and analysis of enormous amounts of health data. These in turn assist doctors in improving medical care, anticipating and preventing diseases, and remotely monitoring patients. Of the two, the early prognosis may be easier to identify as falling under the more general heading of disease prevention and early testing. Connected to the internet, interconnected fixtures allow medical facilities to evaluate a patient’s condition and react appropriately. These include smart blood sugar monitors and smart thermometers. For the relevant populations, it also takes part in campaigns, immunizations, and disease intervention initiatives. These consist of Big Data and IoT will therefore be used in future research to create ever more specialized and efficient forms of healthcare for a greater standard of living globally. For example, the issue of data privacy, the typically greater expenses related to setting up IoT devices, and the lack of data scientists capable of handling the data.
