<P> IoT devices can be used to enable remote health monitoring and emergency notification systems . These health monitoring devices can range from blood pressure and heart rate monitors to advanced devices capable of monitoring specialized implants, such as pacemakers, Fitbit electronic wristbands, or advanced hearing aids . Some hospitals have begun implementing "smart beds" that can detect when they are occupied and when a patient is attempting to get up . It can also adjust itself to ensure appropriate pressure and support is applied to the patient without the manual interaction of nurses. According to the latest research, US Department of Health plans to save up to USD 300 billion from the national budget due to medical innovations . </P> <P> Specialized sensors can also be equipped within living spaces to monitor the health and general well - being of senior citizens, while also ensuring that proper treatment is being administered and assisting people regain lost mobility via therapy as well . Other consumer devices to encourage healthy living, such as, connected scales or wearable heart monitors, are also a possibility with the IoT . More and more end - to - end health monitoring IoT platforms are coming up for antenatal and chronic patients, helping one manage health vitals and recurring medication requirements . </P> <P> The Research & Development Corporation (DEKA), a company that creates prosthetic limbs, has created a battery - powered arm that uses myoelectricity, a device that converts muscle group sensations into motor control . The arm is nicked named Luke Arm after Luke Skywalker (Star Wars). </P> <P> The IoT can assist in the integration of communications, control, and information processing across various transportation systems . Application of the IoT extends to all aspects of transportation systems (i.e. the vehicle, the infrastructure, and the driver or user). Dynamic interaction between these components of a transport system enables inter and intra vehicular communication, smart traffic control, smart parking, electronic toll collection systems, logistic and fleet management, vehicle control, and safety and road assistance . In Logistics and Fleet Management for example, The IoT platform can continuously monitor the location and conditions of cargo and assets via wireless sensors and send specific alerts when management exceptions occur (delays, damages, thefts, etc .). </P>
