Hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities will face
considerable problems in the next decades due to the aging population's increasing
healthcare demands, the complexity of modern healthcare delivery, and the rising
expectations of healthcare consumers. Future healthcare development must continue to
face problems, which call for more digital innovation. One of the goals for the ensuing
decades will be to craft a clever plan to advance digital health. The smart Internet of
Things (IoT) technologies are crucial elements to integrate digital health for enabling
practical utilization in the field, given the large range of information technologies
available. The smart IoT supports medical practitioners in their working process and
facilitates the management of the patient’s health records. In this chapter, we explore
some of the key smart IoT technologies in digital health and management including
data acquisition, data transmission, and positioning. Each technology is briefly
introduced to provide insights that will allow readers to adopt the essential technologies
for potential future practical applications.
