Smart Healthcare Monitoring Using IoT with 5G : Challenges, Directions, and Future Predictions

Focusing on the challenges, directions, and future predictions with the role of 5G in smart healthcare monitoring, this book offers the fundamental concepts and analyses on the methods to apply Internet of Things (IoT) in monitoring devices for diagnosing and transferring data. It also discusses self-managing to help providers improve their patients' healthcare experience.

Smart Healthcare Monitoring Using IoT with 5G: Challenges, Directions, and Future Predictions illustrates user-focused wearable devices such as Fitbit health monitors and smartwatches by which consumers can self-manage and self-monitor their own health. The book covers new points of security and privacy concerns, with the expectation of IoT devices gaining more popularity within the next ten years. Case studies depicting applications and best practices as well as future predictions of smart healthcare monitoring by way of a 5G network are also included.

Interested readers of this book include anyone working or involved in research in the field of smart healthcare, such as healthcare specialists, computer science engineers, electronics engineers, and pharmaceutical practitioners.
