Abstract

Technical and accessibility issues in hospitals often prevent patients from receiving optimal mental and physical health care, which is essential for independent living, especially as societies age and chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease become more common. Recent advances in the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled wearable devices offer potential solutions for remote health monitoring and everyday activity recognition, gaining significant attention in personalized healthcare. This paper comprehensively reviews wearable healthcare technology integrated with the IoT for continuous vital sign monitoring. Relevant papers were extracted and analyzed using a systematic numerical review method, covering various aspects such as sports monitoring, disease detection, patient monitoring, and medical diagnosis. The review highlights the transformative impact of IoT-enabled wearable devices in healthcare, facilitating real-time monitoring of vital signs, including blood pressure, temperature, oxygen levels, and heart rate. Results from the reviewed papers demonstrate high accuracy and efficiency in predicting health conditions, improving sports performance, enhancing patient care, and diagnosing diseases. The integration of IoT in wearable healthcare devices enables remote patient monitoring, personalized care, and efficient data transmission, ultimately transcending traditional boundaries of healthcare and leading to better patient outcomes.
