The internet has become a central factor in managing the affairs of life and is no longer just a tool for people to communicate and transfer information and data to each other via a mobile phone or computer.
The number of devices using the Internet of Things is estimated to be in the billions worldwide. With continuous development, the use of these technologies has extended to the field of healthcare to monitor patients in their homes and dispense medicines to them from smart pharmacies.
Experts expect – according to what the rest of the story program revealed on (11/28/2022) – that the market value of the Internet of Things in healthcare will reach approximately 500 billion dollars within 6 years.
Internet-connected devices are available that can be attached to the skin or implanted inside the human body to monitor human body performance, movement, fitness, heart rate, and blood pressure, predict health crises, and enable physicians to intervene and save the lives of users from a distance.

The episode reviewed how the insulin pump works on a girl with first-degree diabetes, and heard “the rest of the story” from her family, who praised the device’s effectiveness in making care easier for their daughter, as well as keep her healthy without exposing her to the risk of a sudden blood sugar disorder.
However, the matter carries many caveats and risks for the lives of users and the protection of their health data from control or manipulation by the large institutions and companies that control this technology.
Commenting on the scale of development witnessed by medical technologies using the Internet of Things, Dr. Wael Abdel Majeed, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and founder of the Laboratory of Visual Intelligence and Media Analysis at the University of Southern California, believes that the Internet of objects is very important in the case of dealing with many problems.
He added that the Internet of bodies will not stop at what it has achieved, but will continue to deal with cases related to lung fluids, and experiments have begun on such devices, which he described as important and accurate.
In turn, Dr. Wael Fahd Al-Hussami, a specialist in cardiovascular diseases and professor at Taft University, professor of disaster medicine at Harvard University, confirmed that the Internet of Things has helped in the accuracy of the diagnosis of important cases and work has also been done on a device that helps in electric shocks for heart patients, which has helped avoid cases of death from many diseases.
He added that data sent from medical devices connected to the Internet of bodies helps doctors make quick decisions to save patients’ lives, but expressed fears that this data could be hacked by third parties and used against disease in the future.
