The Internet of Things (IoT) is still a relatively new field of research, and its potential to be used in the healthcare and medical sectors is enormous. In the last five years, IoT has been a go-to option for various applications such as using sensors for different features, machine-to-machine communication, etc., but precisely in the medical sector, it is still lagging far behind compared to other sectors. Hence, this study emphasises IoT applications in medical fields, Medical IoT sensors and devices, IoT platforms for data visualisation, and artificial intelligence in medical applications. A systematic review considering PRISMA guidelines on research articles as well as the websites on IoMT sensors and devices has been carried out. After the year 2001, an integrated outcome of 986 articles was initially selected, and by applying the inclusion-exclusion criterion, a total of 597 articles were identified. 23 new studies have been finally found, including records from websites and citations. This review then analyses different sensor monitoring circuits in detail, considering an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) scenario, device applications, and the data management system, including IoT platforms for the patients. Lastly, detailed discussion and challenges have been outlined, and possible prospects have been presented.
物联网(IoT)仍是一个相对较新的研究领域,其在医疗保健和医疗领域的应用潜力巨大。在过去五年中,物联网已成为各种应用的首选选项,例如使用传感器实现不同功能、机器对机器通信等,但在医疗领域,与其他领域相比,它仍远远落后。因此,本研究重点关注物联网在医疗领域的应用、医疗物联网传感器和设备、用于数据可视化的物联网平台以及医疗应用中的人工智能。我们按照PRISMA指南对研究文章以及物联网医疗传感器和设备的网站进行了系统综述。2001年之后,最初筛选出986篇文章的综合结果,通过应用纳入排除标准,共确定了597篇文章。最终发现了23项新研究,包括来自网站的记录和参考文献。本综述随后详细分析了不同的传感器监测电路,考虑了重症监护病房(ICU)的情况、设备应用以及数据管理系统,包括针对患者的物联网平台。最后,概述了详细的讨论和挑战,并展示了可能的前景。
