In the current IoT (Internet of Things) environment, more and more Things: devices, objects, sensors, and everyday items not usually considered computers, are connected to the Internet, and these Things affect and change our social life and economic activities. By using IoTs, service providers can collect and store personal information in the real world, and such providers can gain access to de...

Currently smart hospitals are very few as well as very expansive. The cost of these smart hospital set up can be reduced by deploying Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is booming technology in many fields for smart environments. This paper presents an innovative technical support for development of smart hospitals with low investment. Automation in dealing with medical things reduces the human inte...

With the advent and development of the Internet of Things, new needs arose and more attention was paid to these needs. These needs include: low power consumption, low area consumption, low supply voltage, higher security and so on. Many solutions have been proposed to improve each one of these needs. In this paper, we try to reduce the power consumption and enhance the security by using SPGAL, ...

The convergence of the Internet, sensor networks, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems has ushered to the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) which is capable of connecting daily things, making them smart through sensing, reasoning, and cooperating with other things. Further, RFID technology enables tracking of an object and assigning it a unique ID. IoT has the potential for a wid...

Nowadays highly cited types are interconnected over through the Internet. It can take control of and enable so many services from mobile phones devices. You arrange passes, banking, traffic controls, clear your dues, get municipal certificates etc. Because devices' complexity design, IoT have several issues such as information exchange influence, big data, scalability, protection, interoperabil...

The Internet of Things (IoT) presents today a huge potential in terms of both, technology deployment and business opportunities. Even though the IoT products performing similar tasks are densely deployed, a service provider needs to deploy multiple dedicated infrastructures per IoT segment if interoperable solutions and/or harmonized standards between different segments are not provided. Provid...

This chapter discusses the opportunities for new ubiquitous computing technologies, with concentration on the Internet of Things (IoT), to improve patient safety and quality. The authors focus on elective or planned surgical interventions, although the technology is applicable to primary and trauma care. The chapter is divided into three main sections with section 1 covering medical error issue...

Both the idea and technology for connecting sensors and actuators to a network to remotely monitor and control physical systems have been known for many years and developed accordingly. However, a little more than a decade ago the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) was coined and used to integrate such approaches into a common framework. Technology has been constantly evolving and so has t...
