Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the healthcare industry by enabling unprecedented levels of connectivity, operational efficiency, and patient-centered care. With the help of smart medical devices and real-time data analytics, healthcare providers can now predict, monitor, and automate various clinical and administrative functions more effectively than ever before. This paper introduces the concept of IoT in healthcare, explores its primary applications such as remote patient monitoring, smart hospitals, and medication management, and outlines the benefits it delivers to patients and providers. While challenges such as cybersecurity threats and lack of standardization persist, the overall impact of IoT in healthcare continues to grow, driving improvements in outcomes, access, and efficiency.
