Summary
Internet of Things (IoT) enhances smart healthcare systems. Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) shows efficiency in monitoring vital signs, improving healthcare delivery and device performance.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Computer Science
- Telecommunications
Background:
- The increasing integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in healthcare systems necessitates improved monitoring efficiency and precision.
- Power consumption and data accuracy are critical concerns in IoT-based healthcare architectures, especially when integrated with cloud systems.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the development and performance of IoT systems in healthcare, focusing on power absorption and accuracy.
- To systematically evaluate the application of IoT and cloud features in healthcare, identifying performance limitations.
- To discuss the design of efficient IoT systems for monitoring elderly individuals and pregnant women, addressing resource, power, and security constraints.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of communication standards for IoT data transmission to understand power absorption.
- Systematic review of IoT in healthcare systems with cloud integration.
- Performance analysis of Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) for vital sign monitoring (blood pressure, heartbeat) using single- and multinode approaches.
- Comparative analysis of Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol (MQTTP) against Limited Application Protocol (LAP) for sensor data transmission.
Main Results:
- NB-IoT demonstrates suitability for high-intensity applications like monitoring pregnant women due to low data cost and minimal complexity.
- MQTTP proved more efficient than LAP in transmitting sensor data.
- Analysis highlights the importance of communication standards in managing power absorption and improving IoT device performance in healthcare.
Conclusions:
- IoT and NB-IoT offer significant potential for enhancing smart healthcare systems, particularly in remote monitoring and data acquisition.
- Optimizing communication protocols and system design is crucial for addressing power consumption, accuracy, and security challenges in healthcare IoT.
- Further research into efficient IoT architectures can lead to improved healthcare outcomes and patient monitoring.

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
