The literature review presents the of the concept using the internet of things in the field of healthcare. Literature review also presents the retrospective and the present work in healthcare using internet of things. In this part of the article introduces the usage of the internet of things in a major healthcare industry in Australia, Royal Melbourne Hospital. There are various sectors in healthcare where the use of internet of things is done in order to provide better service. Internet of things methodology can be used in order to connect the various devices in a single network in order to communicate the various important information about the operations of the organization. (Kim et al., 2017). The use of the internet of things can also be made in order to manage the large number of products and in order to eliminate the risk and shortcomings those may be present to the organization. A message or information can be delivered to all the systems present in the network of the internet of things.
In health care industry, the large number of information in the different fields that needs to be stored. Information regarding the patients along with records related to medicines are also managed by the use of internet of things. The use of internet of things (IoT) can be extended to the providing of better solution regarding the usage of the proper technology for providing the better treatment to the patients (Li & Li, 2017). The IoT can make contribution for both, the improvement of the health of the patients and maintains the work- flow of the health care sector increasing efficiency of the treatments.
The use of internet of things is being made by the organizations from retrospective analysis. The technology which has been in use in the organizations wants to earn competitive advantages. Use of internet of things in the area of healthcare is regarded as connected health. In the case of health sector, different information have to be stored in the different fields such as the maintaining of the records of the patients and the different medicines. The maintenance of the records of the stocks of medicines by the pharmaceuticals companies also has to be maintained. Thus, in order to maintain the records with the help of using the internet of things technology can be done. Connected healthcare involves numerous applications in the field of medical device integration, smart sensors and various other devices. The use of the IoT allows the patients along with the doctors to communicate among themselves. Patients can spend much time with doctor and in case of any form of emergency can get in touch with the doctor immediately. The solutions to the medicines in case of an emergency is also provided by using the IoT.
The Royal Melbourne Hospital based in Australia makes the usage of IoT for the solving the different problems which occurs. Using a number of methodologies are avialiable for the proper usage of the IoT technology in the hospital. First area where the use of the technology of IoT is used is managing the staffs. Usage of the IoT contributes to the communication of all the activities of all form. In case of the proper functioning of hospitals, the staffs present at the hospital should be working in a proper manner (Baldini et al., 2015). In the next field where the usage of IoT can be deployed for the management of inventory. With the help of the IoT the automatic updating of the information during the process of the inflow or the outflow of the health care products can be achieved. With the help of IoT the tracking and the updating of status of products such as medicines and syringes can be maintained. Thus, the smart management of the inventories along with the staffs can be managed through the usage of technology provided by IoT.
Workflow management the Royal Melbourne hospital also implement IoT in order to ease the work flow and the operations of the organization. The operation of the hospital involve the proper management of the large amount of data. Usage of any of the methods regarding IoT is used for proper storage and managing the data. Use of big data technology can be done for successful management of large volume of information. Advantage of big data is that this technology can manage not only structured data but also unstructured data. Big data has the capability to manage different forms of data efficiently. Most of information related to the hospitals is unstructured in manner and therefore the usage of big data can provide a great deal options for the management and storage of the information. Big data is capable to integrate and manage the large amount of data. A large number of sections in health sector and the large amount of data in each of the area has to be stored separately. Big data allows segregating and managing of data for each of these sections.
Many of the times due to overload of the data the use of big data may clash. Thus, the Royal Melbourne hospital is making the use of big data only to store of the recent data and the previous data are transferred to cloud storage. Advantage that cloud architecture has over big data is- the storage of information in case of cloud architecture does not need the physical space of the system. Usage of big data is made to store the recent information as the management of the data also has to be done, which is not possible using cloud computing. Thus, the previous records are transferred to cloud storage. The technology regarding cloud computing may also serve a purpose of protection regarding important information to become corrupted or prone to the attack by the hacker (Lee, Kao & Yang, 2014). The usage of image and the snapshot concept through cloud computing technology helps to keep the copy of all relevant information and all the activities those are being carried out in hospital. This prevents the loss of any information from the system of the hospital. The records of all the patients are necessary to be maintained for the future use. However, some of the hackers may try to access the information by getting into the systems of the hospital. This can be prevented by the use of IAM role in the cloud computing software (Karwowski & Ahram, 2017). The use of the IAM role requires the user to enter the details of the security credential in order to access the portal of the hospital. This helps the Royal Melbourne hospital to protect its important records regarding the patients and the medicines.
Main requirement of the project is proper systems which can implement the IoT technology. Systems which are in not present in state cannot be used in order to the carry out of the operations and maintaining an efficient work flow of the organization. The environment should be advanced enough such that the solution that is put forward by IoT can be properly implemented (Bello & Zeadally, 2016). The hospital should have enough facilities to implement the technologies such as the big data or cloud architecture; those are part of the methodologies under the IoT.
There are various methodologies that could be utilized by the technology of IoT, for contributing in the increment in efficiency of the organizational work flow. The main problem statement that was put forward was that storage as well as management of the larger volume of data. This problem can be addressed the usage of big data technology that is not only stored but also easily managed by the larger volume of data (Ding et al., 2018). This big data is eventually preferred by all the hospitals in place of database management system as the database management system is incapable of the handling of the large volume of data. Moreover, the database management system is only responsible for the storage of only unstructured data set and at the same time as the big data could handle the specific structured data.
There are other methodologies, which subsequently come under the technology of IoT such as AI or artificial intelligence or machine learning. These technologies are properly mentioned with relevant details later in this research report. Here, all the methodologies for the solving the problem statement are only provided (Dunaway et al., 2017). The next significant problem statement whose mention has been made previously within the report is the issue of cyber security. The proper utilization of the role of IAM within cloud computing helps in the identification of the attacks that is made on the systems (Baron & Musolesi, 2017). The proper use of the technology of machine learning also contributes in providing the best possible solution for the risks that may arise in the system.
The major purpose of Internet of Things in the industry of health care is for the betterment of the standard of people’s lifestyle (Fadlullah et al., 2017). The new born babies are given a wrist band and the usage of a sensor is made in order to detect any form of issue by wireless networking mechanism. If the baby is taken out of the exit door or the baby is facing any form of problem then there is an alert that is being sent automatically to respective mobile phones as alerts to the nurses. The use of the “biodigester” within the kitchen of the hospital eventually contributes in the composting of the leftover food thus maintaining a healthy environment for the infants
In order to achieve the competitive advantage and to make the complete utilization of internet of things or IoT technology, the various methodologies have to be implemented. There are a number of methodologies, which increase the efficiency of the working of the technology. The methods are involved in order to solve the problem statement and address the issues arising in the heath sector.
The use of this big data could be easily made for the storage as well as management of information. Big data could be significantly utilized to manage the larger volume of information that is involved in the health sector. This big data is solely responsible for the storage of the information of the patients. The information of the various products related to health care is also stored and managed by the usage of the big data technology.
The next methodology that can be used is the concept of cloud computing. The cloud computing concept is used in order to store the information. However, these information does not does not take the space of the system. The cloud computing also allows to host different websites. The cloud computing allows to upload the different pictures into the websites. The hospitals can make use of this concept to upload pictures of the medicines or the prescriptions that help in the easing of the process of the choosing of the proper medicine.
The third methodology may be the use of artificial intelligence concept. The artificial intelligence concept allows the storage and the management of the data and information. Internet of things allows the communication to connect and communicate with each other. The devices have to be connected in a particular network to complete the communication in an efficient and effective manner. Artificial intelligence contributes in defining the work flow of the organization and carrying out the operations. In the health care, these involve stating of the correct form of technology for performing an operation. Artificial intelligence also contributes in the managing of the devices that are present in the network of internet of things.
Machine learning is the fourth important technology, which could be used as the methodology for providing of the solutions of health sector. Machine learning could easily contribute to provide the best possible solution by means of comparing a wider range of various solutions. Due to the comparison made on a range of solution, a detailed analysis of different situation can be done. Analysis of the risk that may arise due to the implementation of the solution is also provided by the use of machine learning.
The fifth and the last methodology is the strategic information system that could be helpful in the collection of data and integrating it. Strategic information system is also responsible for the planning the architecture and models of the organization. In the health sector, the proper collection and the integration of the data is important. This integration is done by the help of strategic information system. Planning is also required for the proper management of the staff and patients. The inventories are also majorly managed by the strategic information system.
Within the health care sector, the most sensitive challenge is to provide proper care to each and every patient. The proper utilization of internet of things technology is made within the sector of healthcare for the betterment of the condition of the patients and for improving the interaction between the doctor and patients. Strategic information system contributes in the proper management of the data and the proper planning of the architecture of the hospital. The strategic information system contributes in the collection of variety of data and helps in the integration of the data. Strategic information system also helps in the providing the solution related to the attacks on the system. Strategic information system provides the solution of the cyber crimes based on a particular situation. There are several benefits of certified management system. There are a number of other management systems that fall under the certified management system such as the financial management system, information management system, food safety management system and many other management system (Laudon & Laudon, 2016). All of these management systems are integrated together in order to make the organizations run in an efficient manner. The various benefits may involve the tasks becoming easier for the organization. The organization can store the information about the similar kind of task for future use. If the organization encounter the similar kind of task in the future then the previous algorithm can be applied to perform the task faster. The drawback may involve too much dependency on the automation for carrying out the task thus leaving a chance for errors. The business continuity management system can be implemented as the management system can be implemented for identification of the internal and the external risk to the business (Watters, 2014). The identification of the business threat can be helpful in putting the business at a better position. The management plan can be implemented by the method of strategic information system. The strategic information system can identify the risk to the business and also provide solution to overcome the risk.
Big data is the next significant technology, which comes under IoT or internet of things. The broad concept of data science involves the collection of the various forms of data. The data may be collected from the various sources such as the web, mobile devices as well as other instruments. The expansion of various or different businesses, excess data is required to be handled. This new and innovative data is being obtained at a rate which is much greater than it can be handled. Data science not only includes the management of the large volume of data but also managing the data in an efficient and effective manner. The application of the concept of data science could be made within the various fields such as information technology, computer science and various other fields.
The specific seven Vs of the technology of big data are given below:
Volume: The first V is volume. It is the component in big data represents the quantity of data the big data is containing. The data, which was measured within Gigabytes is now measured in Zettabytes or Yottabytes.
Velocity: The velocity component of the technology of big data eventually represents the speed in which this data could be accessed.
Variety: The variety involves the construction of the different type of data. The different form of data is structured together in a general manner.
Variability: This factor of variability is different from the variety factor. Presenting the same form of data in a different manner is called as variability in data.
Veracity: The next component of veracity makes sure that the specific data that is present in the system is absolutely accurate. The veracity factor makes sure the bad data do not gets accumulated in the system.
Visualization: Visualization of this technology of big data uses the various charts and graphs. It helps in visualization of the complex form of data in an efficient and effective manner.
Value: The value could be obtained from the process is termed as the end result. With the help of six Vs the result obtained is called the value factor of this technology of big data.
Conclusion:
Therefore, from the above discussion, it can be concluded that the proper utilization of IoT or internet of things is eventually made within the subsequent field of health care and thus is responsible for providing significant solutions to each and every hospital. This report has properly introduced the broad concept of internet of things at first and then introduced the concept of the various methodologies under IoT or internet of things in such an order for showing how each and every methodology could contribute within the health sector.
