Stories for a sustainable healthcare future: the perspectives of healthcare IoT technologies in surgical oncology

Ciprian Ianovici et al. J Med Life. 2023 May.

Abstract

The rapid spread and continuous development of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have profoundly impacted various aspects of daily life, including healthcare. The aim of this review was to highlight the necessity of adopting healthcare IoT technologies in surgical oncology clinical practice, remote home monitoring of cancer patients, and context awareness facilitation. In addition, we identified different categories of healthcare IoT technologies and the best practice examples of IoT technologies for breast cancer patients. Moreover, discussions were supported by the future opportunities of integrating IoT technologies in surgical oncology.

Keywords: IoT technologies; surgical oncology; sustainable healthcare.
