This document summarizes prior work on using IoT sensors for patient monitoring. It discusses research on using wearable sensors to remotely monitor patients' vital signs outside of hospitals. It also reviews efforts to use sensors inside homes and buildings to automatically collect health data from elderly and disabled patients to identify issues needing medical attention. Prior work demonstrated using sensors and weight monitors on medication bottles to track medication adherence. Research also explored using social robots equipped with sensors as mobile monitoring platforms to provide companionship for older adults. Challenges identified included ensuring the reliability of interconnected sensor devices and data transmission for critical health applications.
