Abstract

This chapter explores the transformative impact of IoT and cloud computing on the healthcare sector. A shift towards more accessible, efficient, and personalized healthcare, characterizes this transformation, along with technological integrations spanning patient care and backend operations. We begin by clarifying the concept of digital transformation in healthcare, highlighting the role of IoT and cloud technologies in converting raw health data into actionable services that improve treatment protocols and streamline hospital management practices. The challenges and solutions associated with IoT data integration within existing healthcare information systems are further discussed. To illustrate digital transformation initiatives in healthcare domains, we highlight real-world case studies of IoT-cloud projects carried out by top healthcare technology companies.
