Abstract

Internet and Internet of Things (IoT) based applications have brought a global change in bridging the virtual world with the real world. This chapter aims at providing an overview of IoT, its contribution in improving the quality of life, the technologies involved in its implementation and IoT applications that brought comfort in the lives of many. An overview of the technologies included in the implementation of IoT such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Near Field Communication (NFC), Machine-to-Machine Communication (M2M) have been discussed. The emergence of IoT and its incorporation in various applications of healthcare, education, and rehabilitation has made IoT an important part of Assistive Technology (AT). Assistive technologies have greatly impacted the lives of disabled people in performing their daily activities. While IoT is still in the development stage, its integration into AT services is challenging while the benefits are unlimited. This chapter includes the introduction, state-of-the-art technologies and applicatıons of IoT, case studies, followed by conclusion and future recommendations.
