Rapid incremental growth in population causes the virulence of infectious diseases worldwide. Due to this, health hazards with population growth raise pollution in the air, water, and soil and affect the immunity of individuals. To handle the situation, reliable and easy to reach healthcare services are required. The proliferation of connected technologies along with the Internet of Things (IoT) is providing modern healthcare with extensive care. All-pervading IoT technology gaining a very much attraction nowadays. This paper presents a brief about the E-Health Care System along with its framework. This attempt also presents the ontology approach as data produced by healthcare applications is vast and unstructured which needs to be organized in proper format with a smooth flow of data and also results in less request-response time. Further, this paper discusses the impact of the disease on senior citizens in the current scenario.

The study explored the research issue of factors in the adoption of the Internet of Things in the health care services of Sri Lanka. To address this issue, the study examined Four research objectives respectively Evaluation of the impact of the proposed technological acceptance determinants on adoption towards IoT in the healthcare system evaluation of the moderating effect of Provincial area, Gender, Age in adoption towards IoT in the healthcare system. By extending UTAUT2 with other significant variables, such as perceived creditability and attitude, this study brought the novel insights into consideration for further research. UTAUT2 argued that the most influential antecedent to adoption intention was performance expectancy. This study gave a new perspective to identify trust as an influential factor driving intention to adopt IoT technology. This study provided insights for companies, to understand better what the determinants of adopting IoT products are. The research suggests that increasing physician’s adoption towards IoT and healthcare organizations should create awareness of IoT products. This could be done in two comprehensive stages; first increase awareness among healthcare staff, which should be the focus on the way to bring business benefits to the organization. Secondly, awareness should be created among the patients, the final customers of IoT technology, which should be focused on enhancing both novelty and quality of IoT enabled healthcare products.However, the IoT technology is still in its early premature stage of development and requires an intense evangelization. To a certain extent, this research had identified the critical factors that impact adoption towards IoT in the healthcare industry in the Sri Lankan context. Then results were supported by the empirical study of the research and can be implemented both theoretical as well as managerial context to impose a radical change in the field of technology adoption of the healthcare industry.

There is a significant increase in the geriatric population across the globe. With the increase in the number of geriatric people and their associated health issues, the need for larger healthcare resources is inevitable. Because of this, healthcare service-providing industries are facing a severe challenge. However, technological advancement in recent years has enabled researchers to develop intelligent devices to deal with the scarcity of healthcare resources. In this regard, the Internet of things (IoT) technology has been a boon for healthcare services industries. It not only allows the monitoring of the health parameters of geriatric patients from a remote location but also lets them live an independent life in a cost-efficient way. The current paper provides up-to-date comprehensive knowledge of IoT-based technologies for geriatric healthcare applications. The study also discusses the current trends, issues, challenges, and future scope of research in the area of geriatric healthcare using IoT technology. Information provided in this paper will be helpful to develop futuristic solutions and provide efficient cost-effective healthcare services to the needy.

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.

The advancement of information and communications technology has changed an IoMT-enabled healthcare system. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a subset of the Internet of Things (IoT) that focuses on smart healthcare (medical) device connectivity. While the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) communication environment facilitates and supports our daily health activities, it also has drawbacks such as password guessing, replay, impersonation, remote hijacking, privileged insider, denial of service (DoS), and man-in-the-middle attacks, as well as malware attacks. Malware botnets cause assaults on the system's data and other resources, compromising its authenticity, availability, confidentiality and, integrity. In the event of such an attack, crucial IoMT communication data may be exposed, altered, or even unavailable to authorised users. As a result, malware protection for the IoMT environment becomes critical. In this paper, we provide several forms of malware attacks and their consequences. We also go through security, privacy, and different IoMT malware detection schemes

The high cost of healthcare services, the aging population and the increase of chronic disease is becoming a global concern. Several studies have indicated the need to minimize the process of hospitalization and the high cost of patient care. A promising trend in healthcare is to move the routines of medical checks from a hospital to the patient's home. Moreover, recent advances in microelectronics have boosted the advent of a revolutionary model involving systems and communication technology. This new paradigm, the Internet of Things (IoT), has a broad applicability in several areas, including healthcare. Based on this context, this chapter aims to describe a computer platform based on IoT for the remote monitoring of patients in critical condition. Furthermore, it is planned to approach the current advances and challenges of conceiving and developing a set of technology-centric, targeting issues relevant to underdeveloped countries, particularly in regards to Brazil's health infrastructure.
