With the evidence-based medicine, doctors have settings and data from which they can evaluate the risk-benefit ratio of a treatment. They can also analyse different information to make risk-based choices. With the emergence of new technologies in medicine, a large amount of data is recorded offering interesting perspectives with machine learning for predictive data analytics. However, the collection, storage and use of data raise ethical and security issues. Internet of things (IoT) is a field that groups all the systems that can be identified, perform measurements and do tasks while being open on the Internet. It is an emerging field (Stojkoska & Trivodaliev, 2017; Whitmore et al., 2015) that leads to various IoT applications in healthcare (Islam et al., 2015; Yin et al., 2016). Pavel et al. (2013) proposed to divide the future of IoT health care into four parts: patient-based applications, physician-based applications, treatment and prevention
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
