Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has helped explore the healthcare industry. The present paper discusses the benefits and challenges associated with IoT in healthcare, highlights notable use cases, and presents the future prospects and considerations for successful implementation. Through a comprehensive examination of the topic, this paper aims to provide insights into the role of IoT in enhancing healthcare delivery, improving patient outcomes,  and transforming the healthcare domain. A case study of brain tumor classification is investigated to explore IoT's applicability in healthcare.  The VGG 16 model improved more consistently over the epoch, achieving higher validation accuracy than other models. In contrast, the discrepancies in validation accuracy and loss indicate the degree of variability of these models. The concept is augmented with fuzzy logic, nearness monitoring, and IoT in healthcare to understand future applicability, promising a better perspective on their transformational prowess.
