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.

<span>Smart and connected health care is of specific significance in the spectrum of applications enabled the Internet of Things (IoT). Networked sensors, either embedded inside our living system or worn on the body, enable to gather rich information regarding our physical and mental health. In specific, the accessibility of information at previously unimagined scales and spatial longitudes combined with the new generation of smart processing algorithms can expedite an advancement in the medical field, from the current post-facto diagnosis and treatment of reactive framework, to an early-stage proactive paradigm for disease prognosis combined with prevention and cure as well as overall administration of well-being rather than ailment. This paper sheds some light on the current methods accessible in the Internet of Things (IoT) domain for healthcare applications. The proposed objective is to design and create a healthcare system centered on Mobile-IoT by collecting patient information from different sensors and alerting both the guardian and the doctor by sending emails and SMS in a timely manner. It remotely monitors the physiological parameters of the patient and diagnoses the illnesses swiftly. </span>
