Abstract

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in healthcare has transformed patient monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment. However, the massive amounts of data generated by these devices pose significant challenges for traditional cloud-based processing, such as latency and bandwidth constraints. Edge computing emerges as a promising solution by bringing computation and storage closer to the data source. This paper explores the potential of edge computing in healthcare IoT applications, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and future directions. We discuss various use cases, such as remote patient monitoring, real-time data analytics, and personalized medicine, where edge computing can revolutionize healthcare delivery. Additionally, we examine the security and privacy considerations associated with edge computing in healthcare and propose strategies to address these concerns. Overall, this paper aims to provide insights into how edge computing can enhance healthcare IoT applications, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.
