The quality of the healthcare system is a significant contributor to a nation's economy. Technological developments in the internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, and wireless body area networks (WBAN) and their interaction have given a boost to healthcare as an application domain which seems to be very promising to improve the quality of health care. Long-range and ubiquitous deployment needs of healthcare can be very well handled by narrow band IoT (NB-IoT). NB-IoT has the potential to reduce power and bandwidth requirements. NB-IoT is a low power wide area (LPWA) version of IoT which has the potential to cater to remote healthcare needs. NB-IoT is preferred over other networks due to cost efficiency, longevity, security, and mature, wide-reaching networks. However, security is an unavoidable threat in any IoT network, so as in NB-IoT. In this chapter, the authors discuss the performance of NB-IoT for healthcare applications, the issues and challenges faced, and some of the solutions to countermeasure these problems.

Undoubtedly the IoT is the future of technology, which can provide manifold benefits to health care. However, the challenges posed are also great. Concerning the analysis of healthcare data, various tools have been introduced to deal efficiently with the large volumes as well as the various peculiarities of data (e.g. missing values, noise, etc.). Most popular representative of these modern tools is data mining, or the KDD process, strictly speaking. Although the KDD process has provided a lot of solutions, in many cases these techniques have to be scaled in order to deal with the new challenges posed by the big data paradigm. Cloud computing is the modern infrastructure that can provide the means to efficiently manage big data. Both cloud computing and the IoT are very promising concepts of technology and their complementary characteristics assure that their integration, Cloud-IoT, is very promising too. The introduction of the Cloud-IoT paradigm in the healthcare domain can offer manifold benefits and opportunities that will considerably improve the quality of health care.

Among all the functions of the Internet of Things, healthcare applications are the most important. The internet of Things has played a vital role in the sharing of various medical resources making it an essential factor in the field of medicine. Without the applications, it may become challenging for the medical practice to achieve some objectives. Today, information is shared freely across different networks, making it easy for practitioners and institutions to work with the available resources and deliver on the medical needs of the society. IoT has made it possible to offer smart and effective healthcare services to people. The application of smart sensors is one of the factors that has contributed to effective management of healthcare needs in the society. Wearable devices can be used to track different issues within the body. Some can be embedded to monitor different functions of the body to ensure there is effectiveness in the way medical services are delivered to such patients. The information collected in such manner, can be analyzed, aggregated and mined to do the early prediction of diseases. Processing algorithms play a vital role in helping practitioners in developing personalized treatment, which makes healthcare more economical. Apart from analyzing the effectiveness of IoT in healthcare, challenges will be discussed in this study and how they impact medicine.
