Illuminating Healthcare Management: A Comprehensive Review of IoT-Enabled Chronic Disease Monitoring

Abstract

Present dynamic performance reputation and technical innovations in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have endowed ultra-inexpensive, energy effcient, smart, and tiny IoT gadgets. IoT gadgets can be easily implanted inside, attached to, or placed around the chronic patient body, and they can be employed in several healthcare monitoring systems such as mobile, wearable, and implantable healthcare monitoring for chronic diseases. Healthcare monitoring for chronic diseases is one of the major applications of IoT and is also a typical challenging area. The rapidly rising proportion of patients with chronic diseases brought enormous pressure on governments and healthcare providers and required up-to-date long-term healthcare service and continuous monitoring. In this survey paper, we extensively review numerous industrial and non-commercial contemporary healthcare monitoring systems (HMS) and applications. We present a design layout of IoT-based HMS for chronic diseases. We presented societal and technological challenges associated with the design of IoT-based HMS and their solutions. To accomplish this, more than 80 different healthcare monitoring systems have been characterized and classied. Moreover, we describe contemporary healthcare monitoring networks and communication technologies. This review also presents the dynamic capabilities of key IoT technologies for chronic diseases healthcare monitoring to show dedicated research pathways to IoT researchers. Last, we deeply analyze different healthcare monitoring systems and describe open issues that will help researchers and healthcare system designers design future systems.
