The impact of information technologies is creating a new world yet not fully
understood. The extent and speed of economic, life style and social changes
already perceived in everyday life is hard to estimate without understanding the
technological driving forces behind it. This series presents contributed volumes

Preface
Healthcaresystemshaveevolveddramaticallyintherecentyears.Onceconsidered
to be a very sophisticated and costly affair, health monitoring systems have now
become very handy and affordable. For example, a couple of decades back to
have an ECG recording of a person would require a huge effort in terms of
approaching a physician to preparation of equipment, placement of electrodes
and displaying the signal on paper. Nowadays, recording and monitoring vital
parameters like heartbeats, SpO2, blood sugar or even ECG/ EEG can be done
very easily using wearable, low-cost yet accurate devices and that too without
consulting a physician! The miniaturization has made it possible to integrate such
devices/apps on mobiles or even in smart watches. Internet of Things (IoT) is
another revolutionary technology that has incorporated smartness in human lives.
The IoThas made itpossibletorecordand monitor thehealth parameters without
personally visiting the physician. This book aims to amalgamate the IoT and
healthcare domains. It is a compilation of research on how various applications
of IoT have made the healthcare systems more enriching and fruitful in terms of
technologicalandmedicaladvancements.

Chapter 4 presents the development of efficient non-invasive approach with
continuous monitoring support where real-time blood glucose values are stored
on Internet-Medical-Things (IoMT) framework for proper diabetes management.
It proposes NIR-based optical approach for glucose prediction. The prediction of

platform.

1 Introduction
Currently, the Internet of Things (IoT) is in much demand to build up a complete
digitalization world in the application field of healthcare, transport, insurance,
manufacturing, government, agriculture, and public utilities [1]. The new era of
the IoT influences the quality of life in various ways by generating meaningful
insights,increasingproductivityandminimizingunnecessaryexpenditure[2].Inan
IoTenvironment,heterogeneoussmartdevicesconnectthroughsensorsandoperate
collaborativelyinanintelligentway.TheIoTdevicescanbelinkedwiththeexisting
Internet infrastructure for providing valuable information by integrating through
different domains, protocols, and applications. With the help of IoT, anything
is connected and any information or service can be accessed from anywhere
seamlessly about humans, objects, time, and space. The primary goal of IoT is to
providethebenefitsoftheInternetintermsofremotecontrolability,datasharing,
constant connectivity, and many more. The novel perspective of IoT interconnects
physical objects, substances, and humans together by creating collaborative ways
of functioning, communicating, interacting, alerting, and controlling [3]. A strong
collaboration among physical-world object with the cyber world is established
