Integrating the Internet of Things and Cloud Computing in Hospital Environments: A Literature Study on Healthcare Innovations, Challenges, and Improvement
摘要
The paper presents the impact of emerging technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing, on the healthcare sector. In the last decade, these innovations have enabled the interconnection of medical devices, the collection and analysis of real-time data, and the optimization of hospital resource management, improving both clinical and administrative processes. The findings highlight applications of IoT in hospitals, such as remote patient monitoring and healthcare service management. However, the implementation of these technologies faces significant challenges, including concerns about data security, system interoperability, and resistance to change by medical staff. The paper concludes that while the integration of IoT and cloud computing offers opportunities to improve healthcare, more research is crucial to address existing challenges. It is recommended to establish technology adoption frameworks, interoperability standards, and provide adequate training to staff. These actions are essential to maximize the benefits of these technologies in the health sector and ensure more efficient and safer medical care.
