The main aim of this review paper is to explore the role of Internet of Things (IoT)
technologies in telemedicine and their impact on healthcare outcomes, focusing on chronic
disease management, elderly care, and emergency services. This study conducted a
systematic review following the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic
Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). The research identified 15 peer-reviewed articles
published between 2010 and 2024, focusing on the integration of IoT in telemedicine.
Scopus database was chosen because it indexes scientific documents from various
disciplines, such as Computer Science, Engineering, and Medicine. The following search
terms were used: “IoT” OR “Internet of Things” AND “Telemedicine.” After screening
the titles, abstracts, and full texts, 15 studies met the inclusion criteria for analysis. The
review found that IoT technologies significantly improve patient outcomes, with chronic
disease management showing a 20-30% reduction in complications. Cloud integration
enhances scalability and real-time monitoring, facilitating better elderly care, especially in
remote areas. However, challenges related to data security, interoperability, and the cost
of IoT devices were noted. The findings suggest that IoT holds great potential for
transforming healthcare delivery, further research is needed to address data privacy
challenges, cost-effectiveness, and integration into existing healthcare systems. These
insights are valuable for healthcare providers, policymakers, and technology developers
working to implement IoT-based solutions in telemedicine.
