Smart Health Systems Components, Challenges, and Opportunities

ABSTRACT

Smart health is a relatively new paradigm where information and communication technology is utilized to improve health care and medical services. In this article, we provide a literature-based overview of smart health systems, their components, architecture, technologies, benefits, applications, challenges, and opportunities. In addition, we discuss the potential benefits of big data, data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) in smart health systems. Moreover, we discuss the challenges as well as the open research issues that need further investigation to facilitate the implementation of smart health systems.
