IoT in Agriculture and Healthcare: Applications and Challenges

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the present and future of every field, influencing everyone’s lives by making everything smart. Almost every industry, including agriculture and healthcare, has been rebuilt as a result of the quick rise of Internet-of-Things-based technologies. Agriculture’s significant developments with the deployment of IoT are changing the landscape of traditional farming methods by making them not only more productive but also more financially viable and sustainable for farmers.Health is the most pressing concern for the bulk of the population, irrespective of age. IoT has shown potential in connecting a variety of medical devices, sensors, and healthcare experts in order to provide high-quality medical treatment. The flow of this current study gives a complete collection of information on the IoT environment,including most commonly utilized IoT sensors. The significance of integrating IoT technologies into the agriculture and healthcare domains has also been presented herein in the tabular form. Incorporating Agriculture- IoT and Health-IoT systems into a real- time scenario can provide ample scope for research in predicting, processing, and analyzing circumstances, as well as boosting timely actions.
