It is important to note that the Internet of Things or IoT is among the highly promising areas in modern advances in technology. Its impact on healthcare and education can be profound in the future on a revolutionary scale. Human health can become trackable to perfect preventative medicine before a disease develops. In education, IoT can automate research, schedule checking, and note-taking, as well as decrease costs making both teaching and learning better. Learning and knowledge analytics will enhance future competencies in higher educational settings.
One should be aware that the future of IoT is exceedingly promising, with a great deal of potential to greatly improve society. IoT will automate “note-taking, schedule checking, and research. As for the schools, the greatest benefits would be increased energy efficiency and reduced operating costs” (Insider Intelligence, 2022, para. 10). In the case of learning and knowledge analytics, a wide range of competencies can be bettered among both the students and educators (Kleimola & Leppisaari, 2022). In addition, the Smart Health Sensing System or SHSS can be used to monitor critical health conditions in hospitals and trauma centers” as well as to track fitness levels and calorie intake (Kumar et al., 2019, p. 2). In other words, healthcare will be cheaper because many diseases and illnesses will be diagnosed before they become a costly problem.
In conclusion, the future of IoT will enhance health monitoring in healthcare, and more efficiency for teaching and learning, whereas an increase in competencies will be found in higher education due to learning and knowledge analytics. Thus, IoT has a massive potential to revolutionize many critical areas of social well-being. More research and development are needed in order to widen the range of applicability of IoT.
