Abstract: In the contemporary landscape of healthcare, the convergence of IoT and machine learning technologies has paved the way for transformative approaches to remote healthcare monitoring, ushering in an era of precision health insights. This abstract explores the amalgamation of IoT devices and machine learning algorithms to enable continuous monitoring of patient health metrics outside traditional clinical settings. By leveraging IoT devices embedded with sensors and connectivity capabilities, real-time data on various health parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, and activity levels are collected remotely. Subsequently, machine learning algorithms analyze this data to detect patterns, anomalies, and trends, facilitating predictive analytics and decision support for healthcare providers. The implementation of such a system involves identifying healthcare use cases, selecting appropriate IoT devices, preprocessing data, developing machine learning models, and integrating predictive insights into clinical workflows.
