Abstract
This chapter summarizes IRACON contributions related to the application of IoT in healthcare. It consists of the following three sections. Section 8.1 presents the measurement campaigns and the related statistical analysis to obtain various channel models for wearable and implantable devices. In addition, the importance of physical human-body phantoms used for channel, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), and Electromagnetic (EM) exposure measurements are examined. Methodologies to improve the accuracy of these phantoms for various frequency bands are also discussed. Section 8.2 outlines methodologies to improve the medium access control (MAC) and networking layers of a body area networks along with possible architectures for remote health monitoring. Several applications such as localization, activity recognition, and crowdsensing and their corresponding technical challenges are also presented in this section. Finally, Section 8.3 introduces the concept of nanocommunications which can be considered as the nano-scale limit of the IoT technology spectrum. It provides an overview of the promising mechanisms that can establish data communication at molecular levels inside the human body as well as various interfacing techniques with macro-scale devices. It also highlights the revolutionary healthcare applications that could be enabled by this technology.
