A Comprehensive Review on Smart Health Care: Applications, Paradigms, and Challenges with Case Studies

Growth and advancement of the Deep Learning (DL) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are figuring out their way over the modern contemporary world through integrating various technologies in distinct fields viz, agriculture, manufacturing, energy, transportation, supply chains, cities, healthcare, and so on. Researchers had identified the feasibility of integrating deep learning, cloud, and IoT to enhance the overall automation, where IoT may prolong its application area through utilizing cloud services and the cloud can even prolong its applications through data acquired by IoT devices like sensors and deep learning for disease detection and diagnosis. This study explains a summary of various techniques utilized in smart healthcare, i.e., deep learning, cloud-based-IoT applications in smart healthcare, fog computing in smart healthcare, and challenges and issues faced by smart healthcare and it presents a wider scope as it is not intended for a particular application such aspatient monitoring, disease detection, and diagnosing and the technologies used for developing this smart systems are outlined. Smart health bestows the quality of life. Convenient and comfortable living is made possible by the services provided by smart healthcare systems (SHSs). Since healthcare is a massive area with enormous data and a broad spectrum of diseases associated with different organs, immense research can be done to overcome the drawbacks of traditional healthcare methods. Deep learning with IoT can effectively be applied in the healthcare sector to automate the diagnosing and treatment process even in rural areas remotely. Applications may include disease prevention and diagnosis, fitness and patient monitoring, food monitoring, mobile health, telemedicine, emergency systems, assisted living, self-management of chronic diseases, and so on.
