Access Technologies for Medical IOT Systems ICT technologies are evolving and advances in the technologies hold promise for applications in diverse domains such as healthcare. Along with the development of access technologies, rapid advances are also taking place in related areas, machine learning, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data. Availing healthcare in the developing countries is costly, timeconsuming and, for populations located in remote areas, it also means adding in the cost of travel to nearby towns and cities where expert healthcare facilities are normally available. Leveraging ICT technologies, IoT systems for healthcare can bring affordable and quality healthcare to the population through ehealth and mhealth applications. The role of ICT technologies is paramount to the success of IoT applications for healthcare. Two such ICT access standards are the 3GPPbased 5G technology and IEEEbased WiFi 6. However, challenges exist in the ecosystem that inhibit the realization of the full potential of these technologies. Based on current and future requirements, the paper proposes a model incorporating key factors impacting an IoT communication system and comes up with a set of recommendations to harness the Internet of things for healthcare.

Understanding Ehealth Application Utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) Technologies EHealth applications make room for exchange of information between medical professionals and patients, hospitals to hospitals, lower cost, increased scope and extent of medical facilities, as well as improving the quality of services. Despite all these advantages, healthcare system is still being challenged with the factors such as increased number of ageing population, need for reduced cost of health services, the shifting of healthcare services from providercentric to patientcentric, the type of new diseases available and their treatments. All these require Internet of Things (IoT) for its transformation. This work seek to explore Internet of Things in eHealth domain and determine how its operations can transform healthcare application system. We examined technological and application trends in healthcare, Convergent eHealthIoT Works, attacks and issues in eHealth utilizing Internet of Things technologies, applications of Internet of Things (IoT) in eHealth, as well as challenges and open problems in the eHealth domain.
