Abstract : The evolution of IoT in technological advancement has found its way into virtually all aspects including transportation, education, and healthcare systems. The Implementation of IoT has posed a major challenge to providers of healthcare services. Previous reviews have specified their approach to its applications. However, there is a need for thorough reviews to provide more insights into IoT, the challenges faced, and likely solutions for effective implementation. This article reviews different IoT monitoring systems, explores their challenges, by optimizing suitable IoT parameters for efficient healthcare delivery both for patients and healthcare workers and suggests possible solutions. It examines the idea of wearable devices in healthcare in addition addresses related security concerns, recommending proper patient education as a key measure. The integration of IoT of some integrated into systems in health can help reduce costs, improving efficiency, and boosting overall performance. This study serves as a foundation for incorporating IoT into healthcare monitoring systems.

Keywords : IoT, Healthcare, Security, Wearable Sensors.
