A Review of Wearable Internet-of-Things Device for Healthcare

Health is one of the most important aspects of life. However, people still could not get proper health services. It is caused by limitation to the used technology in hospitals and limitations to get to the hospital. Internet-of-Things (IoT) as one of the most trending topics nowadays, already giving so many solutions in many ways, for example, in healthcare. IoT is implemented in many healthcare ways, including detecting disease as a precaution, treating a disease as a healing solution, and monitoring a disease as a healing process itself As part of IoT, wearable devices have been developed to help people get the right treatment for themselves. In this paper, a systematic literature review of wearable IoT devices for healthcare is conducted. The review is started by searching the references by pre-defined keywords and filtering the references based on the relevance and the published year. In this review, we discuss the utilization of wearable devices in handling the problem in the healthcare aspects, including disease detection, monitoring, and curing. Other than that, this review paper also explained how the architecture of wearable devices applied. Finally, the future challenge of research in this field is defined. (C) 2021 The Authors.
