In recent years, there is an increase in the collection of health-related data by the means of technologies such as portable devices with embedded sensors, remote monitoring devices, wearable devices, and smartphone apps that help monitor the user’s basic health condition. In case of chronic ailments like diabetes, transplants, or heart conditions, constant monitoring and follow-up of the patient is necessary and usually done in person. Along with digitalization, e-health monitoring has come into the picture with a wider scope which includes integrating IoT-based applications, remote monitoring, telehealth, etc. Although along with this if other features like medicine reminders, emergency alerts, hospital connectivity, and a user-friendly interface for interactive and efficient communication between the doctors and patients would take e-health to next level.
