ABSTRACT:

Internet of Health Things (IoHT) is the integration of the physical and digital worlds through objects with network connectivity in the healthcare industry.

This seminar will provide a glance at the applications of Internet of Things in healthcare from several aspects, e.g., hospital operation, resource accessibility, and health and wellness, and discuss the potential research directions for information system research.
