ABSTRACT
Healthcare is on top of the agenda of all governments in the world as it is related to the well-being of the people. Naturally, this domain has attracted the attention of many researchers globally, who have studied the development of its different phases, including E-Health and the Internet of Health Things (IoHT). In this paper, the difference between the recent concepts of healthcare (E-health, M-Health, S-Health, I-Health, U-Health, and IoHT/IoMT) is analyzed based on the main services, applications, and technologies in each concept. The paper has also studied the latest developments in IoHT, which are linked to existing phases of development. A classification of groups of services and constituents of IoHT, linked to the latest technologies, is also provided. In addition, challenges, and future scope of research in this domain concerning the wellbeing of the people in the face of ongoing COVID-19 and future pandemics are explored.
