Sadly, the spread of Covid-19 has strained the majority of health systems and the demand for resources from hospital kits to doctors and nurses have become extremely high. However, the significant advancement in the computing sector have led to the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) which has now become one of the most powerful information and communication technologies IoT enables real-time alerting, tracking, and monitoring, which permits hands-on treatments, better accuracy, apt intervention by doctors and improve complete patient care delivery results. This paper presents the overview of Internet of Things (IoT), and the role of IoT in health sector.
