Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising technology which interconnects the available resources to offer reliable and effective smart objects. The smart objects act as a definitive building block in the development of interdisciplinary cyber-physical systems and smart ubiquitous frameworks. The IoT revolution is improving the potential of healthcare infrastructures for providing quality care to patients and assisted living. IoT is renovating the traditional healthcare system with promising technical, economic and social forecasts. The current researches in the IoT have opened more possibilities in the field of medicine that aims to improve the quality of healthcare with minimum cost. This survey paper explores the advances in Human Healthcare Internet of Things (H2IoT) and analyses the present-day networks, architectures, topologies, platforms, services and applications in healthcare. This paper also surveys the challenges in H2IoT design, privacy, security, threats and attack classification.
