Abstract

Information technologies are fundamental in all economic sectors, but in the service sector and specifically in the area of medicine, they become essential due to the progress that has been made and the benefits that it provides by achieving a better quality of care and efficiency (Ramirez et al., Smart innovation, systems and technologies, Springer, Berlin, pp. 12–18, 2018 [1]). Medicine refers to the science that allows preventing and curing diseases of the human being where health is a trigger. It has been asked: If a doctor has the medical results of his patient immediately in real time, everything that could be prevented? All this can be achieved with the phenomenon that is transforming the way of doing certain activities called “Internet of things (IoT)” allowing to improve and offer a higher quality service.
