Application of IoT in Healthcare: Keys to Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals
We live in complex times in the health, social, political, and energy spheres, and we must be aware of and implement new trends in intelligent social health systems powered by the Internet of Things (IoT). Sustainable development, energy efficiency, and public health are interrelated parameters that...
