The use of IoT technology is rapidly increasing in healthcare development and smart
healthcare system for fitness programs, monitoring, data analysis, etc. To improve the efficiency
of monitoring, various studies have been conducted in this field to achieve improved precision.
The architecture proposed herein is based on IoT integrated with a cloud system in which power
absorption and accuracy are major concerns. We discuss and analyze development in this domain
to improve the performance of IoT systems related to health care. Standards of communication for
IoT data transmission and reception can help to understand the exact power absorption in different
devices to achieve improved performance for healthcare development. We also systematically analyze
the use of IoT in healthcare systems using cloud features, as well as the performance and limitations
of IoT in this field. Furthermore, we discuss the design of an IoT system for efficient monitoring of
various healthcare issues in elderly people and limitations of an existing system in terms of resources,
power absorption and security when implemented in different devices as per requirements. Blood
pressure and heartbeat monitoring in pregnant women are examples of high-intensity applications
of NB-IoT (narrowband IoT), technology that supports widespread communication with a very
low data cost and minimum processing complexity and battery lifespan. This article also focuses
on analysis of the performance of narrowband IoT in terms of delay and throughput using singleand
multinode approaches. We performed analysis using the message queuing telemetry transport
protocol (MQTTP), which was found to be efficient compared to the limited application protocol
(LAP) in sending information from sensors.
